Top Speed in Your Ferrari?

indicated 315 kph going downhill on the autostrada between florence and rome on a sunday at around 1:30pm. felt solid. but you run out of road pretty fast at that speed.

 

250km/h in a 355 on the passenger seat
215km/h in a 360 on the passenger seat.
200km/h in a Mondial on the passenger seat.
180km/h in a Zafira in the drivers seat.

 

John:

Gone 174 at DAytona. They time you just before the old turn one, after you've done about 1/4 of the banking. At speeds over 160, the suspension get compressed, you've got your head on the tank, inclined for less wind resistance, your right hand off the bars, holding the triple clamp for less wind. Basically an uncontrolled vehicle.

So, no suspension, you feel every bump. Did I tell you that turn 4 has a good size bump in it? 1st time each you go over that bump at about 160, you know you're dead, bike moves over 3, 4 feet, shakes a little, then goes on its way down the track, much more fun in company though, everybody moves together when they shake their way off that bump.

AMA National next weekend at Sears!!

One thing's for sure....Gotta stay on top of the box!

 

295 km/h in 360 spider top down.....(passenger)
250 km/h in a 355 late at night....(passenger)
277 km/h in Murcielago...(passenger)

 

290 km in 360, at speed 250 km and up , the aerodynamic is putting the car down on the road....!

 

Holy Christ that would be scary as hell!!!

 

151 in my 360

 

115 mph on 280 in an audi a6 2.7t
100 mph on 280 in an sl55 amg
115 mph on infineon dragstrip in sl55 (12.78 @ 113 MPH)

what a rush

 

oh and my friend hit 155 mph in the sl on highway 1 w/ top down (with the limiter removed, so he could have gone faster) he said he was crying and laughing while he was slowing down.

 

268 km per hour on the freeway 2 in the morning in my brothers, friends, dads, 2004 audi s4, equiped with new turbo running 9 psi with blow off valves new suspension, tires, lowered, intake, exhaust, headers, etc.

 

150 mph in a sweet 550. My only problem was the 550 wanted to go much faster. 150 is fast.

12 cylinders or what?

 

That's up hill too. I love how your face is pulled down comming out of the Carousel.

I've managed to top out all my Dcars at one time or other:

175 in my TR
170 in my 348
165 in my Euro 308QV
150 in my Mondial t cab
a shade over 200 in my F40

 

I think that was all she had........but it was fun!

 

incredible experience.

 

240 kph in my 328 GTS (150mph)
280 kph in my 512TR (175mph)

 

140 in my 89 348. Kind of twitchy. I would not want to do a quick lane change at those speeds.

Ok my significant other has said, "your a "father" your not to break the century mark"....so there you have it.

Rule #253.17 section(b)

 

100mph on 280 is a rush. Although doesn't it feel like everyone is doing 80+ already ?

 

I may have been daydreaming (or may not have been ;-)) but I have seen 190mph on the clock of my 360, I reckon that was at least 175 in reality. M62 Eastbound towards Hull

 

100 on 280 is average cruising speed... everyone IS doing 80...
