Whats the fastest you have been ?

[toasty]

Did an indicated 141 in my Cavvy Gsi 2000, when I was 21.
Have had much faster cars since then, but never been any faster.

155 on my honda fireblade..very stable felt like i wasnt moving and gave me a real sense of trying to get off and see if i could run along side..i quickly slowed dwn and had a rethink about bikes..now sold..

Been up to about 165 on a deserted road in my ST205 Celica GT4, someone pulled onto the motorway from a sliproad a loooooooong way down the road... but I reached it very quickly, put into perspective how quickly I was going and as someone mentioned, even 100mph feels positively pedestrian after that, pretty scary thought really.


Cheers,

Hit 150 in my old wrx ppp (not that stable!)Also touched 160 in current 2000 S4(much more stable)
Gonna brag now because i can but on way back from New York in 96 on concorde we were travelling at 1440 (mach 2.2) WOW!!

Well, I guess that, according to the "speed kills" propaganda, you should be dead!

280kph - today in an M5 on the Autobahn (no, really - on the road out of Nürnberg actually)

Very stable and the brakes are very effective too...!

The scary bit was doing about 210kph on a windy road - not as planted as our 4WDs, but coped well, although the gear change in sport mode feels like the gearbox is about to drop out - horrible feeling and noise!

Just nudged 200mph (indicated) in my old 550 Maranello....... then promptly thought what if I have a blow out.

Good fun though, after my heart rate had settled back down.

[>RS4<]

On a bike i've seen 295 km/h(Thunderace 1000CC)

and in my RS4 i have seen 285km/h but i want to set that speed a bit higher...(i know it can )

Maybe I'll visit our friendly neighbours in the next few weeks....

[DaveP]

215mph... was headdown out of the plane last week from 12,500 feet

I know what you mean, I used to find high speed on a bike much easier than in a car, had an indicated 175 (Kwacker ZX9R) on a Spanish motorway a few years ago, after about 120 you appear to be in a bubble of air, all the noise falls away behind and everything smoothes out, there isn't that sense of 'mass' and intertia you get with a car.

Best of all was a year or so before that, speed was not higher but we (group of 3) did not fall below an indicated 160 for 15 mins, again in Spain, this time on a T1000S Suzuki (or the Widowmaker as the press called it, after it's unfortunate tendancy to shake it's head and spit you off, never had a problem with it myself though) , the Police caught us up in at a fuel stop, gave us a bit of a lecture about speed, but then insisted on a wheelie from all of us before we left

Bikes all gone now, it all got a little crazy and you just knew it would end in tears, do miss em though.

In the car only 165 GPS, a month ago on way to European GP at Ring, was going to try flat out, but stuff kept popping out into lane, and brakes started to protest, after 3 high speed uses.

Same here(see avatar!)..... went a wee bit faster but bike sold in 2004.... probably for the best....

can't beat Concorde for outright speed, but I did get a ride in a Tornado F3 and had 750 knots (about 860 mph) on the 'speedo' at a height of about 50 feet over the sea.

Now that certainly felt fast

So there we were travelling at 14 miles per minute with a visual horizon of about 3 or 4 miles (15 seconds ahead) and all of a sudden a fishing boat appears directly in front......... sh*t too late and you've just dropped a 'boom' on some poor chap. I wasnt the driver but Ive felt pretty guilty ever since

much more pedestrian 250km/h (155mph) in the S4 on the A3 in Deutschland

[lukeaharper]

Ive had 120mph out of a Ford KA!

[Durit]

Hello

310 km/h, the needle (? sorry, i'm french) exactly on 7000 rpm.

Don't know the real speed.

Ive had 120mph out of a Ford KA!

I tried that in a Ka courtesy car with a full load (i.e. 5 guys) and it just fell short of 120.
