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.

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

driven by somone else, 153 on the speedo of a TT XR4i
4AM on the M25 a week after it opened, it's not quite so clear on there nowdays
driven meself 135, on the speedo in a 2.8 cortina.
Shame the rev counter stoped moving at 120
Only thing i've regularly had off the clock are transits
unfortunatly they where all old wedge ones with the 90 MPH speedos that allways read 20% over
fatsest ever was 96 in a diesel LWB minibus checked on the speedos of all the cars we overtook on the motorway by me mate hanging out the window reading theirs as we went past (90% of em read 90 mine read 96)

Key word here is DRIVEN
NOT fucking been in the car while someone else fuckin drives
The fastest I have seen in a car was when my dad test drove a 2wd Saph when the first came out at 152mph, so god knows what that really was, in his XR3i he had 130 on the colck

i've hit the rev limiter in 6th gear a couple of times in my fiecos, = 7700rpm, on 215/40/17's, 3.62 final, 0.82 gear ratio = 183.5mph. but didn't have my snooper in the car at the time.
also seen 181/2 mph on my snooper and my bro's road angle, @ just over 7600 rpm. (well my road angle resets @ 160 to 0, then starts reading, and was @ 20/21 mph when let off)
plus done over 179-180mph on a road angle with 2 passengers.
In my xr2tt seen 140 mph quite a few times on my snooper.
All on a 1.5 mile road between 2 roundabouts, (private) and my speedo's only read to 140mph
For PF mag @ Brunters, with Ecu/fueling issue's done 174 mph @ 7300 rpm, on 23psi boost and 11.4:1 AFR,(usually run 11.8 at richest, and just seemed so guttless, so i backed off) At around 1 mile mark in the Dark and rain.
