Fastest speed

tblocksom, No offence but I would have thought you would know it's called a vRS and not an RS with you owning one.
Driving = 120mph indicated - 1.6 Focus, it was about dieing at that speed aswell.
Passenger = ~140mph - 420 GSi turbo, I was too busy worrying about the roundabout coming up then have a good long look at the speedo.

Driver: Only about 140mph (indicated) on track .. CSL
Passenger: 211mph (GPS) .. Tubi'd F40

Only about 100mph for me. Did it by accident when someone was trying to undertake me when I was overtaking a lorry.
Passenger probably close to 130 in modified 911 turbo. Same person who did that once got pulled by the police doing about 150 or 160. I think the policeman said they were going 140 and the car was pulling away

Figured I should add mine:
Driving:
Track - 130-ish mph (indicated) in an E-Type
Road - 112mph (indicated) in the Seicento
Passenger:
Road - 190mph (indicated) in a Dodge Charger Daytona rep w/ 528ci HEMI (single scariest thing in the entire world ever)

TomO said:presumably a modded M5 then
mine - M5 - 160 GPS, 165 speedo - limiter
also got 165 indicated from the 200sx, but that was bit more out, so more like 155GPS
T'was an derestricted 2006 M5
The faster my dad pushed it, the smoother the ride was lol.Driver - 105mph whilst my Getz fell apart around me
Passenger - Trowser browningly fast on the back of a 'Busa down the M3. Don't know the exact speed as I was too busy hanging on, clamping my eyes shut and praying. I'd guess >160mph

Iirc...didn't have a chassis number as it was the McLaren Developlenmt/press car - colour - at the time I drove it, was still in just sealed carbon

@ Flibster - figured it had to be a Mclaren
I really couldn't care ---><--- this much.
The McLaren F1 LM is the best car I have ever driven. It's engineering porn.

Oh god. Please, I am so offended!
I cannot believe that I didn't believe the word of a random guy on the internet...
The reason I asked, is because there is only on 97 GTR (It's the longtail) that's been LM kitted, and it was sold at an auction pretty recently...
But once again, I won't let knowledge get in the way of a random forum poster...
Edit: Arrogant ****. What was the need for that? I asked a simple question to see if it was the same car. Seriously. Get off your high horse...
