Just been thinking with all the muscle on here, what is the fastest speed you have been, weather you were driving or as a passenger.
Of course you can only say about the speeds you have done on the privet roads we all no!

I'll start it off, I have been 168 mph in a 515 bhp cossie, this was reading on his very accurate stack dash. And around 160 mph in a R32 I no and love! :P

I'm sure your all about to say faster though

160.5 mph on Bruntingthorpe proving ground 8)

I was the driver, and it was in the GTO 8)

Measured by some satellite timing gear... amazing how quick you run out of 'road' and how what appear to be good brakes on the road are not so good at this sort of speed :?

yes to that, it really shows you the weak points in the a set up at these speeds lol.

i can beat that i was doing 50 in a skoda rs :lol: :lol: it was breath taking :lol: .... and a porsh 911 turbo about 140 150 :P

Ask me in three weeks 8)

same here

Up until now - 130 down the straight at Snetterton is my fastest - sad i know

Flat out in a TVR Cerbara 4.5. Indicated speed of 175. manufacturers top speed claimed at 182.

I did also once take my Scooby off the clock - the needle was on the stop. I beleive the actual top speed of the car was 144.

151 in the RX according to my Road Angel, run aborted due to lack of clear road unfortunately.

Ive managed a ground speed of 600 mph,, but that was in a B747 on the way back from Los Angeles,,, apart from that i made an indicated 160 tail gating an evo6 in the norfolk region a while back...

159 MPH in a 225 bhp 176 ft torque 2.2L Honda Civic Hatch (5th gear 8200 RPM on the limiter or would have been faster)....cough cough A11.
