150 in my Sapp with shitty knackered standard suspension fitted.

It was the little wiggle from the backend on its way down around 140 that made my arse twitch abit!!

How can you make a car more stable at higher speeds?

Is it to do with the cars footprint (width of track) ?

Only reached 55mph on a bike. well i wouldnt call it a bike, a moped.

....been a passenger in a R33 skyline that did 165mph, after i tried to race him in my Fez knowing id be slaughtered.

..And been in a Nos'd up escort cab doing about 140... Some fella who used to live opposite me used to work for a Nitrous company -Twisted Sanity i think it was called .

192 as a passenger in a 580bhp r33. Still felt pretty stable.

Pinned the mrs fiesta st on the rev limiter in 5th , 7200rpm @144
That didn't feel to shakey either.

176 speedo reading on my K2 GSXR 750

And just a note from info i have read on gixer forums the standard GSXR thou speedo will only read up to 186mph. So speeds over will have to have been done with gps etc or people on here are talking shit.

Looking for a ZX12r for next year. Looking to crack 200mph so will be spending a fair bit of cash.

163 on a 3.0 E36 M3, rev limiter in top gear.

nowadays i'm FAR more sensible and don't think i've exceeded 80mph in my 530d

got caught doing 120+ in and out of traffic a few years ago, got let off mega lightly (fixed penalty!) but it knocked enough sense into me to keep the speeds down. takes a LOT longer to get anywhere at 70mph tho

Been an indicated 170/175 in a supercharged k20 civic type-r (fast!) and an idicated 150 (waaaayy off the clock) in a c20xe'd nova. Was a passenger in both. Not sure how accurate both speedos were, but the type r felt pretty stable and I never want to go that fast in a nova again!! Lol

Oh and also did a mind boggling 42mph on my old bmx, down a fairly short hill lol.

I had my Clio 172 sat on the limiter in 5th, I think it worked out at 145mph.

I have only had my t5 up to about 125ish but that's plenty fast for me now a days!

hahahaha

standard yes

mine wasnt standard

so always a good idea to fine out any mods done if people talk about more than book speeds before spouting your shit

that also means then that people like rod ,ade,martin hadland,rainbum,etc etc are talking shit cos ford dont claim them speeds

omg they have been lying all these years
the shame on them

I've been a touch faster in a couple of my old cars (indicated), but I did 174 the other night in a standard Audi TT, was wanting to see how quick it reached the 155 limiter... and got a surprise when it kept going.

I love having a local(ish) private airfield to play on.


Cheers,

think he's saying the phisical speedo will only read 186mph as in if you go faster the speedo will only read 186mph,so if you say the speedo was reading 200mph then he's calling you a bull shiter not that your bikes not tuned and wont do what you say

you won't have to spend to much on a ZX12R, A models are from Ł2000, unrestricted and should be close to 200mph out the box, mine had a full akrapovic and power commander and went well.

Only driven at 90odd as I'm only 19 so a quick car isn't aloud in the insurers eyes.
