What gear were you in entering the tunnel (most impressive) and what did you downshift to that made my eyes bug out with heart/adrenaline pumping excitement?

In my F355 1/4 mile 13.44 Top speed 162mph - read 179mph ish on clock Here is a link , if you download the sx0c2.wmv vid you can see me doing it http://www.grazor.co.uk/sxoc_tsc2/ Craig Williams (Craigw) Junior Member Username: Craigw Post Number: 72 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 4:09 am:    from the day I did on saturday I was surprised in the differences between speedo readings and actual speed when measured electronically. A lot of the Porsches were showing differences of 10-15mph at higher speeds, my speedo was typically not working but I'd imagine Ferrari's would be no better if not worse.

Hansen (4re_gt4) Member Username: 4re_gt4 Post Number: 891 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 12:04 am:    I've turned chicken in my old age. I have done 170+ in a twin turbo Callaway Corvette, but only maybe 120 in the GT4. Too many things can go wrong, either mechanically, or with critters, etc. on the road. I see 100 or so daily, however.

Anthony Randazzo (Antroc) New member Username: Antroc Post Number: 28 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:59 pm:    My speedo only goes to 85mph on my 82 308. I had it pinned for a least 5 minutes. I thought I broke the speedometer, because it took a while for it to come off of the stop at 85.

It wasn't my Ferrari and it was on the back twisties. In the Lotus? 115, and in a Europa it feels like 220. Maybe 210.

Bryan Phillips (Bryanp) Junior Member Username: Bryanp Post Number: 55 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 5:28 pm:    I say Glickenhaus wins . . . (more for the late, great driver in his car than the speed) I like the disclaimers in these 'fastest' threads. Wasn't there a guy in Connecticutt a few year ago whose passenger filmed him doing 300kph on the Conn. turnpike? I thought I heard that the video made its way to the fine Troopers in that state and he got a ticket??

Probably was 125 due to the speedo error. She had more in her. I had to back it down because I was running out of room.

My MK-IV driven by Bruce McLaren hit 223 on the Mulsanne with 2:50/1 gearing at 6700rpms. These documents are way cool and have every set up and problem they encountered including weights and measures. Best Jim L.
