Fastest speed

[Zirax]

Out of a 1L polo... 105!!!! (indicated) and it was still creeping up when I was afraid and lifted off Saying that I don't know how off the speedo was, probably only doing 90 or something

It had 145/80 tyres on it, and it had about 1mm of steel between me and the road, I was afraid. As for the focus.... still haven't topped it out and I cba really :/ With the gearing it will be around 120max.

car -170ish mph. took it way past the 150mph on the clock.

bike -164mph on current bike gsxr600k4

^^^Was done on a track day RSV-R.


Seen my own nudge 174mph before I switched my gearing to 16/44 for better acceleration through the gears. No one needs that top speed tbh, I only did it to satisfy my own curiousity.

Still had around 20mph left over after this on my own machine, after the gearing change:-

I don't really care about top speed - it's all about acceleration baby!

echoed.
gear the car for around 120mph with acceleration so fast a guy with a russian accent starts shouting "varp fictor sivin, kiptin" and i'm happy.

*goes back to lurking in Motors as he's jsut remembered why he doesn't post much in here*

Maybe because you have been asked a few times to give proof and never been able to offer 1 shred of it?
But in the real world they dont let 18 year old students drive/crash and thrash millions of ££ worth of cars ..

Maybe one day we will see yer stratos resto project in some hidden barn in Herts ... Wont hold my breath though

On a track or road?

 

[djbenjo]

Indicated 145ish in the s14a. Really don't like going above 110-120 things start to happen a little too quickly for my liking.
