I only done this twice lol , i hate holding it out , was in johnnys cossie flat out when it dropped a piston

Took it to 130-140 at most to be honest , that was enough to see most people off , after that theres not mucho point IMO

It was a 'How fast have you been' post, not a 'Who's been the fastest'! We know that FFS!

Anyway, i've been 140mph in my old 200SX, more than a few times whilst I had it too I might add!

0mph as i cant recall ever being in or driven a cosworth other than a shonky Granada

However if someone wants to take me out in a real one, i will happily show them the top speed of a range rover Cant beat the wind noise @ 90 mph Nothing comes close

140mph on the speedo so probably must less in real terms. Scary enough at that speed never mind some of those higher ones

Chasing Taryn, her speedo said about 130 so I'm guessing I was about 120 since mine doesn't work
Oh, then really pressed the gas pedal and she went on to leave my behind! that bitch...LOL.
