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

[hoshy]

Lancia y10 did about 98 (1.0 fire)
Corsa 1.2spi 4speed did 111 in france
e30 m40b18 did 130. slight downhill sitting hard on the accel for far to long. lol

and... ta da!
105 in a mini-bus!!!

Was in my father's old standard early 325i which did 145 and he said it still had a bit in it. He still talks about that car and claims it's one of the fastest he's driven.

[slippy]

Hmm im not one for driving fast mostly as im a fan of the asre out at roundabouts and corners thing, although sometimes you just gotta test the motor out so ive managed 139 in a mark 4 golf GTi pd 150 (thats the 150 bhp turbo diesel lump for you petrol heads!!!)
I also managed 130 there a whileback in my 89 325i sport. Was doing about 5400rpm in 5th so there is some left in the old girl yet

[jaffro]

155 in my old rover 620ti

[b4gga83]

Ok furrymuff but thats assuming I'm sat still at any point on the equater. Its less the clsr you get to either pole.

[SCOTT325SE]

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

I remember it well! 133 was the indicated speed I topped out at on that day Rog. That was supposed to be the "economy run" home too! PMSL!

I had my old Dolphin Grey 325 off the clock one night on my way home after only owning it for about 3 months. I drove the 60odd remaining miles home skaking with adrenaline that night!

Ive also had the Volvo T5 well off the clock (which is 160 IIRC) with a GPS backed 161..... and that thing doesnt corner or handle like my sport..... so 160 feels every bit as fast.... but on a waterbed!
BTW, Dave, that thing STILL makes me shake with adrenaline when I push that big pedal down hard! I love it! Do you miss that car yet? (apart from the fuel economy with heavy feet and the speed it goes through front tyres - 7k for a pair of Firestone Firehawks!)

[murran]

been at 110 in my 320i touring. 140 in a lotus elise, toyota engined one. while pissing it down with rain and having a knackard wiper blade.........
as passenger 180 on the a1 in a chipped est. 500 bhp (limiter removed) audi rs6. one silly quick car, doesnt do corners tho.

[Jesus325iTouring]

Try doing 62mph on a Yamaha FS1E,now that feels fast

[SPADGE]

Try doing 62mph on a Yamaha FS1E,now that feels fast

Did a similar indicated speed on my AP50 many moons ago and thought i was Barry Sheen
I have done 188.6mph in a Ford recorded on proper Datron timing gear at Brunters.

[Silverfang]

121 in the 320i Private road of course...

Fastest ever driving was 143 in a Elise at Silverstone

Fastest Ever ever was in a Cavalier mk 3.... tuned of course 2.0 8v! 157 indicated at the limiter in 5th!

[SPADGE]

Just noticed this thread was started my Glenn in March 2005

[touringandy]

160-165 on back of bike with me cousin on hayabusa thats scarily fast

[blingsta]

135mph in my 325i cab (not my turbo one)
and same in my 2.8 capri

[Steve-E30]

Yamaha fizzie would do 72mph with tailwind LOL

Must have had a 65cc bore kit??.. Had an AR50 with an AR80 engine tuned barrel, micron & kx80 carb.. 85mph

My fizzie did 67mph and at the time that was fast , Down hill and was trying toget 70 but wouldnt do it
My old rover 220 tomcat turbo (155mph standard) , Bigger turbo , Front mounted cooler just over 1 bar of boost , Chipped , De-cat etc managed approx 165 mph clocked by my mates delimited m5 , Gearbox is apparently geared to 168mph tops on the tomcats .
Afterwards i kept losing drive , Took it into work and id knackered the torsion diff (lsd) and the driveshafts were weaving in and out of it , Mechanic said if the car had not of been lowered they could have popped out and id be brown bread
Fixed it and sold it , Quick lil car

If i'm not mistaken,you could transplant a GP100 engine into Fizzy,to the un educated it didn't look any different.

I seem to recall the AP50 had the advantage of a 5 speed box and could often out run a Fizzy,shame it was ugly piece of kit though

[dom-1984-320i]

174mph in a friends Porsche Carrera while my girlfriend was snoozing in the passenger seat on the way back to london from brighton. Had the car all weekend and wasn't allowed to do over 80 while she was awake...Alot can be said or getting an early start to beat the traffic

[tommye30]

i have been 140mph nearly on the limiter in my vauxhall nova gsi mildly tuned of course on a slight downhill. That felt fast bouncing all over the place on a small bumpy A road!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

The fastest I've been is 500mph plus in a Boeing 767

[ajm-e30]

iv done just over 200mph in a friends ferrari F40 with proof
and an indicated 206mph on a blackbird in germany on the autobahn

[Kelson]

Forgot I had this on the Phota Gallery Thread (as I like to use a bit of the power from time to time!)

[ric325i]

I could only get 120 out my 318i as the diff is so short and the cam was loose still it got there in good time now with the m30 it gets to the 120 in no time at all

130 out my 325i - loved that car.

135 out of my pug 205 Mi16

then is a guys brand new M5 about 8/9 months ago i have no idea how fast we were going but the 135 was well beat if the limiter had not been removed i think we would have hit it?

[mattyb240]

150mph in my mates tomcat turbo although has been dynod to reach 167mph! full straight through exhause, boost control, huge indction kit, lsd, and some hard piping boosting at 12psi

[ste]

175 on the clocks of the M5 is my record. No idea of the actual speed but it used to get up there fairly regularly.

[georob]

Fastest Ever ever was in a Cavalier mk 3.... tuned of course 2.0 8v! 157 indicated at the limiter in 5th!

Major speedo innacuracy there, no way a tuned 8v would do that unless it was turbo'd

[georob]

143 on the gps in my 2.1 zetec feesty

125 in 320.

Off the speedo in my S2 RST then the doors sucked in so chickened out.

Well over 160 in my mates 400brake Orion, the front lifted and starting making circular motions, def brown trouser moment

[E30Dale]

BMW festival Gaydon last year, on the test track E46 M3 convertible 155 (with roof down)

[G524]

Indicated 189 on ZX9 R. Was probably 170 allowing for speedo error? Felt fine as it goes - felt better than doing 112 on an RS125....

[dimebag_from_hell]

I have had 130mph in a pugeot 306 d-turbo

I have had the sport of the clock

My dad has had his blackbird CBR at 190mph, scares me just thinking about it

[tylerma]

112 on an RS125....

must have been screaming its little titties off lol

[bazza93]

i had 135 out of my 3 ltr capri scary
and 125 out of my mk2 RS2000 with twin 40's

[Hyperion]

The fastest i have driven is 200 Kmph in my e30. but i was once in Merc C320 and the driver did 240kmph.
