Baby killers, what's the fastest you've done in your car?

killsta · 12 Apr 2010 at 19:00

69mph in the Focus ST.

Too scared to go any faster.

i can honestly say that i have some form of mental block at around 130. much beyond that and i dont feel totally happy

Hey that's not fair.

My manhood was questioned back on page 1 for backing off at 120.

Wimp.

115.

My car isn't built for it so i rarely go above 90mph if i'm honest.

Back roads are where some "wickid skillz" are ineeded, averaging 60mph can be a challenge.

140 in the MR2.

About 130ish on track in a 996 Carrera.

On the road, why would I dream of breaking the queen's enforced limit? :eek:

204mph so far. On my own bike.

Is this the current record so far?

In excess of 160mph (on private roads of course). On the autobahns in germany I've sat at 140 during the wee hours of the morning which was quite surreal.

On bikes it's so easy to hit over 130 without even breaking a sweat - most cars (bar a handful) I've been in, need some work to get to impressive speeds (i.e. even "hot" BMWs and Audis).

couldnt agree more... most large bore bikes will get to terminal speed in no time at all. I know my bike will hit rev limiter in sixth from standstill in around 14-15secs

the above means you need less road and as a result its much less risk from the boys in blue... not that I'd know of course

just out of interest though I had a 6th gear roll on drag with my mates 98 blade today and there was nothing in it to around 100mph, so much for progress

K7 1000, 173.52bhp @ the wheel, weighing 145kg, TRE to remove the 186mph limiter.

150ish at Mercede's Benz world last weekend. Fark me it was good.

very nice... the toughest part I've found about doing these kinds of speeds is slowing down. 60mph makes you feel like you just may as well get off and walk.

Agreed FLukester, as you can see from this video.

You can look through my others too. You'll notice my bike is also the noise you hear when you look at www.racefit.co.uk

That's so cool. Oh, to be a kid again.

Curious, how fast were you going that last segment when you pulled the wheel off the ground?

Sony cam seems to do a nice job, too. Not much wind noise either.

Racefit cans make sooooooo much noise...

Here's my map, bit down on you though and not so smooth in delivery

Launched... Unsure, I think I was in 2nd @ 70mph, lander around 130-140mph.

The cameras a GoPro HD recording in 720p @ 60fps, but can go up to 1080i.

It all depends on the Dyno mate, If you tune a vehicle then make sure to stick to the same dyno! a rule a lot of people ignore. I've had mine on a dyno and it hit 150bhp, all depends on the drum friction and the DIn settings etc.

I love the POV on that cam though, except makes your bike look like minimoto lol

Yeah before and after is all that counts for dynos... tuning tool only

using 1080i removes the fisheye effect, uploading a 1080i video now to see if youtube allows

2nd gear speed test. :eek:

Insane! Surely that's gotta be KPH.

LOL I keep moving my head trying to change the camera angle.
