Default WHATS THE FASTEST YOU HAVE SEEN???

WHAT IS THE FASTEST YOU HAVE DRIVEN A CAR/MOTORCYLE (on closed roads of course)

How many speed junkies are there out there??

We ain't talking bullshit clock figures either folks, timing lights.

152mph - Scooby Impreza STI
191mph - Suzuki Hayabusa (showing 215mph on the clock!!!)

well i dotn have any proper 'timing gear' so can only talk indicated speeds ie on the clock which as we all know most over-read


1.7tdi astra van 122mph downhill
my old xr2i stage 2 engine 127mph
my rs turbo fiesta 130mph altho she wanted so badly to keep going but i had to brake

130mph in my 318is

145mph in mothers 530 i

that lot was me driving


as a passenger the fastest was 165mph in a corvette

followed by a saff cossie 145mph

then in the DB9 never got past 105 ish cuz had to slow again.... bloody motorists

330kph (indicated) on a tuned Hayabusa which equates to 205mph.

That was speedo reading so obviously take with pinch of salt but it wasn't far from top and had been flat out for over a mile

Seen over 170mph (indicated) on loads of bikes

150mph on the clock of my S3 whilst driving abroad, funny thing was that I didn't even notice, it was my passenger

I wasn't trying to max it out but doubt it would've done much more

no speedo in my sierra but side by side with a mate on his tuned r1,he was reading 183 on his speedo

waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy out tho as it was my 400bhp engine and not the now 500bhp engine.

fastest passenger ride was in kev sharps 3door at brunters,timed 183.

uncany that they were both saying 183 but it just goes to show how much the speedos are out at high speed.

just have to get kev to buy a tubi exhaust and see if it can hit 200mph(996 not the cos)

On the German Autobahn on the way to the Ring;

BMW M5 - 168mph clock speed (Speed restrictor cuts in at this speed, but guess about 160odd actual)

Sierra Cosworth - 169 GPS (That damn last mph has been a bitch!)
