.......been in a car, either as a driver or a passenger?

Obviously I mean on a track as we're all responsible and careful drivers?

Me personally, my dad had a mate who had a 1977 twin supercharged Corvette Stingray ( in South Africa ). We clocked just over 270kph before he decided it was too risky to try any harder. I was the passenger.

Me as driver, just over 140mph in my scoob (on clock ) and 143mph
in a Ferrari F355 at Silverstone on Friday.

SKOOSH.

 

177mph in tvr cerbera 4.5ltr. Scary when you are only sat about 4 inches from the ground.
Not going to say where this was though for obvious reasons.

 

i wasnt driving, forgot to add that bit.

 

140 in MG ZT +190

 

137mph - me driving
147mph - being driven

 

48 in reverse (my car is far to powerfull to go forward)

 

120mph in a car, and 170ish on a ZX-12R me riding, well hanging on.

 

155 MPH in my car with two witnesses, and she was still pulling strong .....Far to bloody quick

Phill

 

140 on the clock in my car

Private road of course

 

391 KM/h when I watched the video of the Mclaren F1 make its top speed run... Bloody hell that V12 BMW engine sounds awesome when it opens up at 240+ Km/h - Quote from vid - but anyway 391 is quite fast isnt it... I still say this is the best car ever built and will probably never be beaten, amazing piece of machinery.

 

155 as a pillion.... Bloody scary too!
Maxxed my Corrado VR6 a couple of times. Supposedly good for 146 - speedo read about 151 or 2.

Only an indicated 135 in the Scoob.

All on my own private motorway of course.

 

Indicated 150 on last Scoob. On the public road as I'm too poor to own my own private road!



Now here's an interesting debate: It has been often mentioned on here about us admitting to stupid speeds on the road but in this months EVO they have just such an article! They obviously have their true names published (as opposed to net names) along with fairly exact locations,so can someone explain the difference which makes us silly for admitting it in "public" and them in print?

 

145MPH-150MPH WHILE DRIVING
145-150 WHILE RIDING LOL

 

Indicated 158 in the scooby

 

Saw 177 in my lotus carlton on a test drive for a potential buyer, who bought it. 10% error means I probably only really doing 160 or less.

 

167 mph in my 300zx TT ,

proper conditions though not on public roads

as a passenger about 120 mph

 

120mph then i started to feel sorry for my little baby

 

If it is only motoring and it happened more than 14 days ago and you didn't have an accident AFAIK nothing can be done since you haven't received an NIP.

Vince

 

Today at Elvington drag strip, 0 to 1.2 mile from a standing start, 147mph at 1.2 mile, per the timing beam, and an indicated 149/150pmh, in the POURING RAIN, WIPERS ON FULL WHACK

Steven

 

149 in Jag XKR me driving

167 on my old Yamaha R6 (helmet resting on tank for slipstream - couldn't get another 1mph out of it)

 

this isnt meant he way it sounds but steven i thought after 1mile your car went off the clock

 

Indicated 250km/h on the German autobahn last Wednesday in my Tek3 scoob - that's about 156 mph. Accidently strayed into Germany after going the wrong way after a car service!

 

151mph (indicated) from MY98 wagon with decat centre and PPP back box about 1 week ago in continental europe (the land where speed is allowed). Probably would have made 1 or 2 mph more, but the empty road gained traffic so I sensibly slowed down. Boy does 80mph feel slow after that.

 

130 Me Driving

 

STD STi7 157mph 6th (142mph limiter 5th) on closed road approx 1.5 miles fairly open corners with 1.7 mile straightish on slight incline

136 mph at Bedford with PPP

Indidcated and not timed.

Tony

 

An indicated 160 in my scoob racing an evo on our private of course. So dont no how inacurate the speedo was reading. Also about the same in my old saph cossie.

 

140 at Bruntingthorpe in our XTR2 me driving
150 at Bruntingthorpe in our XTR2 with my brother driving ???
150 at Bruntingthorpe in one of my old subarus
182 at Bruntingthorpe in David Yu's F355

All done in a safe environment

Indicated 155 in my old 96 UK scooby with induction kit and full exhaust.

I'm sure I go 136mph on a rolling road, though I wasn't driving!

Driving 145mph (on track of course)

 

Indicated 150 on the clock in my old legacy . never never again. Car did not feel safe..... Mind you what does at speeds like that??? It only takes an idiot to pull out etc and .......
