What's the fastest you've been.............

[glenn]

just wondering what's the fastest any of us have been ,
on the road or track, to start us off i've been
155 (limited) e36 m3 gt
186 (indicated) gsxr 1000

[Adammcf]

Had my CRX vtec at 147 on the clock which felt like 400mph as you sit litterally about 2 inches off the ground.
Had the Astra off the clock by about 1cm so who knows what it was doing.

[Jhonno]

i had 141 (kph of course ) outta my old Astra GSi

[Davenotouring]

Aren't CRX VTEC's awesome. I've had two, being FWD noone here cares!!

I've had a Vectra GSI to an Indicated 143mph on the M11 (my private airfiled, which I call the M11)

Probably my best I think.....

[Simon13]

in my dads E36 323i at 150 u catch up the traffic quick!

Yeah I loved the CRX. Everytime I drove it I was smiling. The gokart handling combined with the kick of the early vtec engines was fantastic.

Exactly....still gutted about selling my first one.

Last of the line K plater, with 46k, absolutely mint, in white.

Suspension Kit, 17's, Air filter, exhaust, that's all it had, and all it needed, and I had some fun/dodgy/brilliant times in that one.

Had a silver one more recently, but had to sell it, cos it could never live up to the old white one.

Still miss that car.

I also miss my old mint black 325i sport.

What a nob I am, always sell lovely cars then miss then SO bad.

[Geeman]

I had my Dads Bentley Turbo Red Label at 160mph one night... F**king fast car! Came out of it shaking, with fear or excitement, I don't know...

145mph in my old 325i Touring, down hill, tail wind... lol

I was on the back of a ZX9R at an indicated 170mph... I was very very very scared... never again.

[Wilson325i]

i got 143 out of mine with a few mor revs to go, but the car became to light and REALLY NOISEY so had to ease off.

[Demlotcrew]

About 180 in a 747-400 down heathrows run way 1.

[Jhonno]

LOL@ Demlotcrew!!

[Jesus325iTouring]

A mate of mine had a offroad buggy,all open,knackered,poxy roll bars and crap tyres running a Mini 1275 GT engine,sat perched on the side of that at 80 down a gravel track,felt more like 200!
Wasa sooooooooooo much fun!
Oh,and it had no exhaust,sounded awsome and looked it too with flames coming out what "exhaust" there was!

Other than that 125 in my MK2 GTE and 125 in the Tourer,hmmm,Scott was there to gunning down my tail at,well TBH i'm not sure 135 ish(?)

[Simon13]

i've had a 135 in the sport but with the 3.91 diff thats right round at 6k

[jamesroools]

one of my mates has got a tuned nissan 200sx, he got that too 160+, the thing went off the speedo, and its only a 1.8 turbo, but it goes some

[e30_Turbo]

Sat next to my mate in his twin turbo supra, now written off, but he reckoned we hit 170, I thought we were on the wrong side of the road the way the cars were flying past, scary stuff.
Been 160+ on the back of a bike, Giles I'm with you on this one, never again.
Mine...137....never again tho.....well maybe

[Jhonno]

been 154 and still goin in an Astra Champion LET

[Andy335Touring]

Got to 150mph @ 5500rpm in mine,i bottled it from going any faster

[Simon13]

Jhonno is that your car? looks like my old 318is, just to let you know

[Jhonno]

Na not my car unfortunately

But the way i imagine mine lookin when its done!!

[Karan]

6400rpm in 5th on a 3.7 diff which equates to 145mph when calculated

it was showing bout 155mph on the clocks which shows how inaccurate the clocks are lol

been a genuine 150 in my dads alpina though- did it with ease.....

Karan

[smit325is]

Got 117mph out of my first 1.1 106 not bad i thought, was doing 138mph in my mates 325is e30 still loads left in her though. will be able to tell you what mine does when she is fully finished.

[Davenotouring]

As a passenger I've been 155 in an E39 M5. Felt fast but stable....!

Similar to Simon13, went just over 135 in my old sport. Was revving quite high, so I didn't stay at that speed for long!

[andyp]

In a cossie ive been 15- mph and on my ZX9 speedo showed 19-mph which we think was about 17- mph it is too fast as every thing comes to you so fast and it is a blur.

[Kam320i_cab]

iv been 130 mph @4500rpm in my old xr2 turbo (rs turbo lump) there was loads more left and cudv gone fast but the doors started pulling and the wind noise got louder..... im not a top speed lover

only acleration and hadling


dave touring you got a pic of your old black sport?

[ian332isport]

I managed 157mph in my Sport - properly measured on GPS gear as well.

I would probably hit 160 with a bit more track, but I had to slow down a bit sharpish for the corner

Ian.

[Lordschleife]

Had my CRX vtec at 147 on the clock which felt like 400mph as you sit litterally about 2 inches off the ground.

Meh my MKII (non vtec) CRX would only do 137 (indicated)
All MkII CRX vtec or not are superb cars

Fastest I've driven is 145mph (indicated) in the 325i for quite some distance on a long straight empty european motorway when 'making time'
Poor thing wouldnt go any quicker
That was coming out as 132-3mph on my mates GPS

[ian332isport]

I believe it was a tad damp on that particular occasion

Never really had the opportunity to test the top end on the 2.7. I think the most I did was 125-130 ish.

Ian.

[6potWil6pot]

Indicated 140mph in the Super 325i (had a bit more left wasnt at the redline)
Indicated 135mph out of my old black 318iS (it WAS at the red)

[swindy]

135mph in my old 320, 120mph on one wheel 1200 bandit then dropped it and carried on till I was too scared to look (i was pillion), fastest car I have driven s600 V12 merc, unfair limited to 155mph. 140mph on a fireblade last Sunday. Not a bad record all in all.

[Mike318i]

Ive had my iS up to 125 mph so far, that was last night as it happens!


Had my 1.8 Turbo audi a4 i used to have to 143 mph.

An Audi S8 up to the 155 limiter, not me driving

and my brothers 330i up to 150 while on the way back from taking him to the airport (silly of him to leave me the keys )

Im usually a 80 mph man
