sabres74

Back in the late 80s was a passenger in a Earnhartdt Nascar spec Thunderbird which reached speeds well in excess of 200mph

T4KAF

passenger in my dads pals nissan . .yes nissan 300zx twin turbo with 550bhp said 190 on speedo . . that was 10 years ago tho

Rod-Tarry

Did 193 on datron in the wet at Woodbridge totally stupid & scared me to death, Mark rekons its the most scared he has been in a car, with a senile pensioner about to press the brake pedal & knowing he aint got a clue what to do if it goes wrong . Mark managed a 206 with wheels still spinning past 185mph, this type of lunacy has now been banned .

american

considering that earnhardt been a chevrolet driver since the beginning and the fact that today's cars barely reach 200, i have this to say- you lie.

Mark Shead

210mph in Rods at the rev limit 8300rpm then it slowed to 206mph at the timing beam.

155 on the clock of saff prob doing 125 lol

sabres74

Don't comment on what you don't understand. I have driven and been involved with numerous track and rally cars in the 70/80s. It was an ex Earnhartdt car which had been modified and was doing straight line runs on the salt flats. The cars back then were well able to reach 200mph being much lighter than todays with all their extra weight.

you forgot the

cossiemanden

have been in a supra with 327km/h
And my own at 270km/h

Wohoo

Stavros

But he said that guy has never driven a thunderbird, which is a ford, hes always raced for chevvy, so id hold back on the for now.

Why would a NASCAR and esp a salt flats racer have a passenger seat anyhow?

dojj

iTrader: (3)

thats like saying schumakers never driven a skoda
how do you know?
just because he's got a job at ferarri doesn't mean he won't go and buy another car now does it

mind you, he probably won't be driving a lambo

Hit the 6500rpm limiter in my XR2 turbo, worked out to be 148mph, not bad for a little fezzy.

c9sse

165mph on the road angel in a mates 3door.

danvisteon

RSKim

Driving i think i got to about 140ish before loosing my nerve in "what was" my fellas cossie at the time pmsl

Dunno what the fastest is, teh only one that stands out that im convinced was quicker than that was in my fellas esccos when the guy we got it off took us out for a"test" run

american

again you lie, IF this was done at bonneville you would have received a patch entering you in the 200mph club...where is said patch and cert, your name would be on the "list". you lie like a rug.

american

this is a list of everyone who has surpassed 200mph. don't see your name huh, because it never happened.

and one of these,

How?? My 1.6 focus will only ever go to 126mph and that's like an hour at that speed and it wont go anymore. Is your dads engine standard? Anyone else know why this is? Wind maybe?

RS500/364

Who was driving when it done the unoffical 216MPH

mk1trb

off he clock in both my xr2 turbo's, prob around 145
passenger 177 in mate 410bhp nova turbo, scary

foreigneRS

Hi Andy. That is cool. Would love to go on Concorde, but doesn't look like I'll get the chance (or the money ) now

no chance, maybe you got the model name wrong?

wicked. was thinking of doing that this year with tomtom on my mobile and bluetooth gps receiver, problem is, it doesn't record peak speed (afaik) so i will have to be watching it

Rod-Tarry

My car hasent & never will reach 216mph its beyond our reach even with circa 1000bhp. The car has seen 210.2mph with Mark driving un-officially.
Its to do with metres/sec. If it took say 10secs to do 200 to 216 that would be around 1000m in distance meaning around 205 at the mile, it aint going to happen. 212/213 is our ultimate aim & even this will be very difficult. Only know one street car past 215 in 1.5miles & thats Joels Viper.

as a passenger 180mph in rodneys earlier spec car 165mph driving mine

RichardPON

Rod or anyone else should be able to answer this.....

With people quoting "GPS" figures, how accurate do you think run of the mill GPS is compared to say proper Datron figures etc?
