Dead on 150 in my mates Clio "Cup" 172 up the Redditch bypass, felt alot safer than my RS too

The quickest I've had out of the RS is over 140 on the M5, needle was off the clock, sat nav said I was doing 148 though.

off the clock in Tank Mike's old Saph 4x4
GPS said 178mph!

was down a hill though! i was asleep and i woke up hearing the high RPM and thought "hmmmm why is mike holding it in 4th gear?" looked down and saw it was in 5th!

it was after this that mike decided to uprate the brakes!


best i can get out of my fiesta is about 135mph, screaming its bollox off! (its a 1.7 on a 1.25 gearbox!)

Ive been in a car showing over 200mph on the speedo on public roads in holland.

Have been in a car (dave's escort) doing 194mph at brunters.

Driving myself though, only about 170 or so, as both of those were as passenger.

291kmh - 997 Turbo so about 180mph give or take.
189mph - My R1 completely pinned on limiter in 6th, done that probably every third time I took the fucker out.
198mph - Friend's ZX12R de-limited and mapped with ported head, Muzzy cams and system, man that frustrates me to this day that I never done 200mph but I was wearing jeans and trainers...... What a fucking idiot

Not 100% sure, with me driving have seen about 165mph on the saph dash but no doubt just over 150mph in real terms.
On a bike, maybe 130mph i'd say, was on the back so couldn't really see.
Fastest i've been would've been passenger ride in a new M3, limiter in 7th, and mates M5, a close 2nd, think it was 160 odd.
