About 137 or 138 (too scared to take my eyes off the road lol!) in my 1.8T passat on the speedo. I wanted to break 140 but nevermind. The car felt very nice andsafe at that speed but you still think what would happen if a tyre blew or anything dodgy like that!

157mph in an old Lexus GS300 on a Saudi expressway. Dad was driving and scared the s**t out of me.

About 100mph on a bike as a passenger down the most stupidly narrow country lane. My mate was showing off.

Cheers

Out of interest do you all mean sat nav when you say GPS, because i cant get any sat nav to read over 155mph, some ive tried dont even get this high. Anyway 155mph is a touch over 6k rpm in my 3dr with 18's and the clocks read 130mph i can get the clock to 150mph which is the limiter, so your guess is a good as mine..........

Back of a bike, with a good mate I trust driving - BMW K1200s 175 on speedo = BROWN pants!

S2 when it was running - off the clock (140mph), So guessing about 120-130mph ish?

Mini, Off the clock (100mph) So probably about 90mph Though when going up to GT Battle,I passed a mates P1 and he was doing 100mph

fastest timed was 154mph showing 157mph on the clock
fastest on the clock has been an indicated off the clock at around 175mph (but it was still the same 170mph clocks just with the longer 5th gear fitted and on our original testing runs)
