My Focus 1.8 usual breathing mods - 100 but my satnav reckons I was doing 140 at some point??
Passenger in a mates Audi A4 Twin turbo'ed - 145 worried me when he still had standard brakes fitted..

200km/h on the autobahn 2.0 Ghia X mondeo 130.
These things aren't exactly built for speed, couldnt get it above that unfortunatly.

Going again on the Rally this year, except in the e39, hopefully will be able to go much faster :D
 
Hi there

162mph ish, top end of 4th in Mustang on limiter. Gets there extremely quick and easily, never tried it in 5th.
 
Yeah the T5 estates were restricted to 155 due to the amount of kit they carried however the unmarked S60's were not restricted.

[edit] sorry S80 ;) not s60 thats were the confusion lies lol

The S80 is a T6 which is a 2.9 twin turbo I've been in a standard one with it clean off the speedo. I have however never seen the Police use these as they are big old cars to chuck about and they all come was a lazy 4 speed auto box. However a S60 T5 remapped would be capable of over a true 160mph and most if not all the Police traffic volvos are remapped, I've seen them use the local Shell garage here where I made a comment of them using v power over normal 95ron to what the reply was its needed for the remap !

Yep they are quite big for a saloon but they are quite easy to chuck about.
 
70 - While learning to drive, actually did that speed in a 60mph country lane, was going downhill and the speed just shot up quicker than I thought.

I win ! :D

yeah it was the TDCI 2.0L 130bhp.
Good engine though, pulled like a train and felt really fast, didn't sound nice at all though.
