Stevebt, it does normally, but there was a very strong head wind, in excess of 20mph yesterday, and it was POURING with rain

 

F40

192 mph (GPS)

 

saw 162 on my clock in the scoob with and without a passenger for verifation
as a comparison i saw 150 on the clock yesterday at elvington and the speed trap caught me at 143 so its pretty acurate

 

Does the redline in 5th on my scoob count?
(That was also off the clock btw and never again as it was very scary! )

I used to get close to 170 mph out of my racer some years ago, never seemed to notice it so much on the track. Once saw close to 190 on my ZX12R-that did feel fast,even allowing for an optimistic speedo.(on an old runway!)

160 odd in my old supra still not developed the genes that enable me to go faster than that

 

well guess?

 

167mph - anice COLD morning

 

I know it's not big and it certainly isn't clever, but
153 ( indicated ) MY99 with Afterburner Back Box + K&N panel filter. Probably nearer 145.

175 on Honda Blackbird
Mach 3 Astravan diesel

 

185mph in a Porsche 993 Turbo 4S (450bhp/430ftlb ) at Bruntingthorpe while the owner very bravely watched me from the pits

 

I'll be watching very carefully for hypocrites, the next time someone here flames a speeder for doing silly speeds on the public highway.

I'm not saying that I agree or dis-agree or that I have sped myself, I'm just trying to make the point that many on SN, have at some time or other, tried to max out their cars on the public highway. Many have survived to tell the tale and maybe learnt something too.

Phew, great to know that there's someone taking us in hand

 

170+

MY97 with FSE valve, Splitfire plugs and Magnecor leads. As witnessed by the fat bloke down the pub!

 

145MPH in my UK300 with me driving. Still had some left, but I backed off.

 

183mph in my 3door cossie at bruntingthorpe..speed was recorded
with datron timing equipment

if the speedo wasnt on the stop and had numbers right round
it would have been reading something like 200+mph!

it was interesting to see how far out the sppedo was compared
to the datron equipment
cheers

172mph F40 last weekend in Germany (GPS)
..got it on vid too

The owner had 202mph on the GPS on the way back through Belgium too

..cant wait for that vid

 

MY00 speedo read 145mph at 6000rpm. She will definatly do more though.

 

260kph as a driver
290kph as a passenger

 

187 mph (320kph+) in an Alpina B10 Bi-turbo (BMW E34 5 series) in Sweden!

 

About 140 in scoob
But have done 46mhp on my mounting bike....
...and that was scary...

 

was that gareths F40?

 

136mph (me driving, Volvo T4).

130-ish (in 1982, Suzi GSX1100)

But nothing has ever felt as fast as the unknown speed I was doing on a tuned Puch Maxi moped a mate and me had when we were 15. The speedo was off the top of the dial (45mph!!!!) before it seized solid . I've never felt so unsafe on / in any machine since.

 

omg ***** of steel !

Fastest I've been was about 165 in mum's 500SL. She's a bigger throttle-jockey than me !
As a driver I wrung out our Saff Cossie 4x4 to an indicated 160.
After 150mph you enter the twilight zone ..

 

120mph in my Sport.....
145mph (calibrated speedo) in the works car

 

130mph in my Scoob, went over a small dip on my private road (must get that fixed!) which nearly put me of course.....decided to slow down then!!!

150mph on an airfield in an E55 AMG on a fast driving day, that was fast but felt very safe!!
