[Gwynleym10]

The fastest I have felt, was going was at 56mph BUT this was on a mountain bike, in Kenya at around 4500ft! Still think I had a gear left, but the road was getting rather potholey and there were no crash barriers!and I wasn't wearing a helmet....EEK!

In a Car 135(speedo) in my mates scooby 22B, was on a A road in mid wales which I used to think was straight......

[Toby_Unna]

[Ceeman]

My M3 went off the clock..don't know how...

155 limited in s500
155 limited in Porsche Carrera 4S

Porsche "limited"

What?

[Ceeman]

110 in an Allegro Estate with a 1750 lump.

Scariest ever!! Absolutely everything vibrating (as they did at any speed), felt like it was going to take off. Well maybe not...

[SwirlyE30]

Well as im in my first car, the fastest ive been whilst driving is 110 in my 318i, stopped at that as i just didnt wanna risk doing anymore.

Im sure ive been faster in other peoples cars, but just too scared to look at the speedo lol

If were talking fastest in the quickest amount of time, 0-70 in 3 secs.

[Geeman]

0-70 in 3 secs...? In what...?

I've been 0-60 in the fastest accelerating road going car in the world at Zolder. The guy that builds them is based up in Yorkshire and bases his twin bike engined monsters on the Tigers... (lotus 7-ish kits for the un-educated ones here )

This is getting to be a bragging match now

I'm throwing the towel in...

Toby...? You got the E34 lump in now...?

[mole325i]

160mph on my Suzuki TL1000s

140mph on the back of a GSXR1000

The fastest I've been in a car is about 130/140mph, done 120/125mph in my sport.
I was taken out once in a Ferrari 550 Barchetta didn't do any high speed's but felt the acceleration that was the closest thing on 4 wheel's I've been in to the same acceleration as a bike's, it was unreal just a shame it was only a short ride I had in it.

[6potWil6pot]

What was a 550 Barchetta doing in this country?! Theyre the open top 550s arent they? Like proper open top with no actual roof!

[mole325i]

Oh yes open top full leather cardon bucket seat's with 4 point harnesses and what a sound that V12 made

The guy who was driving it had hired it from a spectalist company for two days.

[cuk325]

ive taken my old cossie off the clock at 150..
was on the back of my cousins bike when he got done for speeding... 158 in a 40

[6potWil6pot]

Your a lucky man! I love the 550! big V12 GT cars

[Richy325iTouring]

Cav V6 ex police and proven 200bhp 150 mph

have seen 141 in the hearse
my old white 325 135 indicated
rover 620 turbo running 11psi boost hit limiter in 5th but speedo wasnt working so im guessing very close to 150(am only guessing though)

Mini 90 on clock took it right off (ex misses in labour at time)
cav sri 130 130 and was pasted but a punto turbo git
coraddo vr6 150

[E30Mark]

163 in a friends E36 M3 3.2 Cab, unlimited...

Ran out of road though...

[SwirlyE30]

Geeman- It was when i went over to the states last time,we all went to Florida for 2 weeks of car shows,Pro Street Racing,Hot Rod shows etc.And there was this thing that you could go on. It was basically a 200m track,and there were 4 mock up 'drag' cars on there.

They were each just a basic frame shell, with an engine.Which was a big block chevy (dont know what) running on gas.Basically, you strap yourself in. When the light changes green,foot on the pedal,then press a button halfway to change gear and the thing automatically stops you (its almost like a car on rails,its under its own control ie the wheels are running, but its fitted to a rail and brake)

Quickest bit of fun you can have! Only lasted 3 seconds lol, but the feeling of going so quickly

[russ325i]

about 135 indicated (130ish?) on my old 325i trying (read failing badly) to keep up with an e46 M3!

105 in my old metro GTi16v (almost on the limiter in top)

85 in my old V8 Landie 90 (flat out, wind resistance making it a rather scary experience!

110 behind the wheel of a 3 speed auto granada 2.8 ghia! (then we came to a roundabout! )

~russ

[MONSPORT42]

Speedo showed 130mph in third once (2.7 +4speed auto) ran out of road. I'm always too worried about speed cameras to push it too often. I really can't afford to get banned!

[Widge]

0-70 in 3 secs...? In what...?

I've been 0-60 in the fastest accelerating road going car in the world at Zolder. The guy that builds them is based up in Yorkshire and bases his twin bike engined monsters on the Tigers... (lotus 7-ish kits for the un-educated ones here )

Little man from Rotherham called Martin Keenan builds them and calls them Locost Indys, uses various engines but Fireblade is his favourite. He took me for a ride in his first Fireblade prototype once , 900 cc and 0-60 somthing silly scared me shitless like being driven in a cigar tube, and I used to drive old minis! A customer of his too the car out the nextday and wrapped it around a tree at 70mph OUCH! Think he survived just.

[Jimbob]

Adam's 328 on the way to pick up my iS last year, was the first time I had been in his car too Was an indicated 150 if I remember correctly..

Had the iS to an indicated 132ish with a mental chip.

[jmc330i]

My old Cav SRi 130- about 120 indicated. Anything over 90mph felt very unsafe

The 325i Sport - 135 indicated, but still felt pretty stable.
Rover Metro 1.4 Diesel - 90mph flat out, nothing left, scary as hell

[cuk325]

Jesus, I had a blow-out whilst doing about 80, that was scary enough.

[bryang]

A few good comments there regarding not just top speed, but what you were on/in and where you were at a certain speed..

45MPH on a dirt bike down a rutty dirt track can be far more exciting than 145MPH down the M1

Anyway, ive had over 210MPH out of the busa, south of France last year, my leathers pulled against me so tight they chaffed my back...the best roads ever for covering long distance at speed...we got thru 2 or 3 tankfuls of fuel at speeds of between 140MPH to 170MPH

The only pain in the ass was stopping to fill up every 20-30minutes.

Had an indicated 135 out of my E30 325 and indicated 145 so far(only the 1 good attempt) out of my E34 535, flashing an early CRX out of the way funny enough...I though the early ones topped out at around 125MPH?..This one certainly run out of puff around then.

All these are indicated speeds; true speeds can be a much, much lower, ive seen an indicated 150MPH turn out to be a true 135, so take em all with a pinch of salt

[6potWil6pot]

Bloody hell broken the magic 200mph barrier!

[Jimbob]

Anyone seen the 'busa turbo video?

499bhp

Goes by the name Ghostrider, I saw the original DVD a few years back and found this Ghostrider 2 clip on the net a few months back, awesome!

You're riding on his mate's R1 or whatever, topped out at 299kmh, and this hyabusa goes passed pullin a wheelie like this R1 is standing still!

[Raz316]

112-115 in my trusty 316i i rarely go above 80 but i had to check my new tyres

[low325icab]

has any one hit the rev limiter in 5th gear in there 325i?

[Lordschleife]

has any one hit the rev limiter in 5th gear in there 325i?

I couldn't - too much drag
Mind you it had a zone chip with a 6900 rpm limit I think

[Lordschleife]

Don't know what the top speeds are, but the early MK1 CRX only had 110bhp I think
MK2 non vtec 130bhp, vtec 150bhp, import jap vtec 160bhp
But the non vtec have a bit more low down pull and weigh less
Still the best car I ever owned <flame suit on>

[6potWil6pot]

I have heard alot of good things about the orginal CRX from quite a few sources now tho!

yer i know what you mean mate, ive had mine at at 6500rpm and the speedo was on 150 but that is prob out quite a bit so i didnt really no how fast i was going, this was all so with the zone bbtb.

i did once hit it in 5th on the ice!!! bouncing off the limiter and the speedo was on 155!

[Richy325iTouring]

Nope but done it in a rover 620 turbo though
