What's the fastest you have ever been?

Speedo 165mph in a vauxhall calibra turbo

 

135mph flat-out on clock in a caterham r500 superlight last weekend at bedford autodrome...
The radical i went in for two laps felt faster but the digi speedo only read out 115

 

120mph speedo - 1991 Range Rover Classic Vogue SE 3.9 V8 (Driver)

140mph speedo (pulling like a train and bottled it) - 1998 Daimler V8 4.0 (Driver)

The Daimler was unbelieveable, because it was still so calm, and it was sitting at 4,200rpm with a 7K redline, beautifully refined car.

Range Rover was funny, in a rush to get home at 1.30am, and passed a very annoyed BMW 3 series driver, who then charged up and sat behind me till i pulled off the "private test track". Takes forever to get the bugger wound up, but once you get it going, it actually shifts along for a house on wheels.

 

Whatever 7k rpm in a MK2 valver is in 5th gear is the fastest I've driven a car.

 

Your ****ing brave!! My dads classic got to 100 and felt like it was going to flip over, and his had a tuned RPI 4.6 instead of the 3.9

 

Lol, used to shake a bit, but I've had new track rod ends, new wheels which got balanced, alignment, panhard rod bushes etc, and it's pretty solid now! Sounds the business

142mph on the clock in pals clio 172 - followed by 50ping tyres up to red lights with camera on - otherwise i'd have jumped them..

 

159 mph, Mercedes E class deisel, VASCAR confirmed. Speedo only goes to 155mph.

 

147 in my dads Lexus, sorry dad, please dont tell him or I'll be grounded again...

 

152 indicated, rev limiter in 5th on Autobahn in my Mazda 6 2.3, GPS was reading 143.

 

i couldnt take my Ninja to anything like that, asides being a mostly law abiding citizen, i couldnt stand all that intense buffeting!

 

I know its just dangerous

In my 8v boggo standard apart from a home made induction kit

Done an indicated 140, in me vr
and another indicated 135 in my renault 19 16v
All driven by me on a lovely private strech of road running past burtonwood services

 

didnt have time to look i passed a zx9r ridden by my mate and he said he was doing 150 on his clocks, on a 1200 bandit with all the goodies ackaprovic zorts diff cams etc etc, it took me ages to get to sleep that night the adrenalin was flowing never been that fast again it was stupid.

 

866mph in a RAF tornado, does that count? lol

 

Your just showing off now reckon that will be hard to beat unless doing what i thought was mach 10 in my 950 fiesta counts!!

 

MK2 16 v , 129 ( clock was readin about 140) gear box went pop .....so did my pants
Not bloody funny .....!

 

mk2 16v standard, back from tune up, on A3 steady at 115 for a minute or two. although i mostly dabble in double figures.
