    Hello All,

    I followed a thread like this a year or two ago on www.offshoreonly.com. Anything goes, cars, boats, snowmobiles, airplanes, motorcycles, etc... I couldn't believe some of the responses. I thought I was a speed freak. Hell, I'm not even in the game with some of those guys.

    So, how fast have you gone? I'll start.......

    Boats:

    Hydrostream Vasseret/ProV 150 Yamaha...... 83 MPH
    STV Euroski/Merc 2.5 EFI............105+ MPH
    Allison Grandsport/Merc 2.5 EFI ...100 MPH
    American Offshore/Twin 300 Mercs...90 MPH
    Spectre 30/Twin 300 Mercs...90 MPH (bigger props on order)

    Cars:
    Mazda RX7.....~125 MPH
    Ford Mustang GT........140 MPH
    Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo......120 MPH
    Dodge Viper RT/10.......160+ MPH

    Motorcycles:

    Harley Fatboy.....110 MPH
    Bourget Low Blow Chopper........130 MPH
    Honda CBR 600 F4i.........140 MPH

    Snowmobiles:
    Arctic cat ZR600.......... ~100 MPH

    Who wins bragging rights?

    I'm gonna lose for sure.

    Sea Doo: 62 mph

    Porsche 951: 280 kph
    Camaro Z28 (last gen. + mods): 280 kph

    Recently, I met the Ronan M6 dudes who did 330 in their new M5 on the Autobahn. It's an easy find on You Tube.

    What is done to the RX1 because they usally radar at 116-118. I have gone around 150 in a Mustang, 70 on a heavely modded Seadoo, 110 in a 360 Spyder, and 100+ more times then I can count on a sled.

    This was 2 years ago but from what I remember the RX-1 was lowered about 2 inches, had full ECP kit, low windshield and studs. Addiontally this was not a short run, it was on a 2+ mile long lake and took a while to get to that speed.

    Only done high speeds in cars. With me driving - a measly 135mph, with someone else driving, 160mph. I wanna join the double-ton club, however so far I am yet to own a car capable of it, never mind feel as though I'd be capable of controlling a car at 200mph+

    A little different spin on the idea:

    Fastest acceleration: 0 - 150 mph in 2 seconds. April 13th, 1990 aboard an S-3 Viking jet launched off the USS Independence in the Pacific Ocean.

    Fastest deceleration: 120 - 0 in about 2 seconds. Same day. Same jet. Arrested landing on the deck of the Indy.

    In between the two events, I found out the S-3 Viking is FULLY aerobatic!

    Most exciting thing I have ever done.

    Trust me, Im game. But LOTS and LOTS of cops here man. :(:(
    We have the most cops here per capita in QLD.
    Plus the roads here average. I was tempted to go out of town a little and have a little speed run of my own, but did not have time. Maybe when I get back from holidays, will have some speeding fun if I can do it without getting caught. :)
