186 mph on my Yamaha R1

125 mph in my crappy old vectra with a strong backwind

135-140 (bike) While I don't agree with it i'd be surprised if it was any more than 15mph out at worst.

As a passenger 120ish (the ex wasn't used to cars that don't sound like they are about to explode at high speed) and burnt 1/2 a tank of derv doing 120 miles with me asleep in the passenger seat. That said a ton in my uncles Jag at the age of about 8 with him putting his hands behind his head, interlocking his fingers and turning to my father and saying 'see, steady as a rock' was a little random.

did it actually limit at 155? as in my experience BMW limiters tend to be soft. (E46 M3, E39 M5, E60 M5) all around 160-165 GPS or 165-170 indicated.

On a German autobahn, MrMatteh was a witness and took the photo

I did actually get it off the clock on a French toll road, ran out of road on the autobahns because slow stuff kept getting in the way

After seeing everyone else do it on the autobahn, I came to the conclusion that it was a good idea to leave your lights on if going really fast

Most likely to be higher, as it still felt like it was accelerating despite the needle sitting at 155

on a my cbr 600 - 171mph indicated in the slipstream of my mates newer and slightly quicker R6.

in a car driving- 145mph indicated in my XR2... took 3 or 4 miles to get there though!

passenger - 200+ indicated in my mates tuned cossie (4 up too!)... clocks went to 170 and the needle was back round against the 0... :eek:

np.

for the record there are quite a few Sierras and a few escorts that will break the double ton.
takes about 500 ponies to do it though.

yeah, my mate has the right stuff in their... pectel 8 (i think) ecu, traction control, coilovers, 8 injector rail, twin WRC fuel pumps, a hybrid turbo and bigger injectors, cams, headwork etc...

hes after an RS500 block though now to fully rebuild now to take the 200 shot of *** he wants to put through it....

ive already got a bet on with him that the gearbox will go before the engine does.

marl · 21 May 2007 at 18:10
