What's the highest speed you have ever been in your Ferrari?

Well, if you have already electronic balanced the tires/wheels:
- check the dampers!!!
- brake discs (not kidding I have had the same problem: when the brake discs got "used" to much they are getting.........mhmmmmm how to translate?...."Centrifugal force" of the discs.......maybe somebody kwnos what I try translate and can help out?

I actually got up to 40mph in rush hour traffic on Manatee Ave in Bradenton!

 

I had a similar problem my cars on a couple occasions. On one occasion, a wheel was bent, but it was balanced, so it was fine up to 100. On another occasion (both on TR and 355), the wheels were not balanced properly, and had to be redone by a better shop. And once, the problem was with my front suspension setup (out of whack after hitting a pothole, but unnoticeable until 90mph+).

 

300 Km/H

I was south of Munich on the Garmish-> Munich Autobahn on an early Sunday Morning in a Testarossa.

In retrospect it was a really stupid thing to do...as when I returned to the U.S. I learned about that big crash in NV involving a TR...(something about the tires not being able to handle the speed...I think)

 

I've done 280Km/hr+ in my TR and its pretty stable. The problem with that TR in NV was that they were not using high speed rated rubber. It was a very unfortunate accident, but it was completely the drivers fault, bc they knew about the ill-suited rubber before the run and they did it anyway.

 

About 150 in my 308 (way back in 1990 ish) on the M40 (UK)
About 170 on an FZR1000R also on the M40
About 190 in an F40 (Passenger) on a toll road in France
Something over 160 on a GSXR750 in the 405 numerous times

On the track - 14Krpm in 6th on a GSXR at Laguna Seca, and missing the braking points, into the sand at ~70mph - that hurt, a lot....

 

lets see

Ferrari 360 Challange series car- im assuming about 130ish at Barbers Motorsports(my home track) i was the passenger the guy is kind of a track buddy of my dads

highly modified Z06- my dad driving 182 mph

2005 SRT-4 minor mods- 156mph me driving

 

130 MPH in my 1984 308 GTS QV last summer before I sold it. I now have a 2000 Corvette 6 Speed had it at 150 MPH with lots to go.
I am starting to look for another Ferrari, but haven't decided on what model.

 

I'd venture to bet if you added up all the BS speeds and BS cars in this thread...Bandini mountain would be taller than K2!

 

Is there any footage of that? Or of other Enzos doing 300km/h +?

130 MPH in a 355 spider. It's the only time I've ever laughed and cried at the same time.

 

166.69Mph on an official speed trial at Raf Woodbrdge Uk in a 355gts
151.89Mph " " " " " " " " " " " Mondial T

No, but that is why I said I read, though it was somewhat implying the way I wrote it.

Here is 300km/h+ http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=134982338&postcount=19

 

The enzo in gumball his 228MPH if i remmeber correctly!

 

How does doing 155mph in an Enzo and 148mph in a 360 Stradale sound?
Ask Cosmo, he was there......

 

never speed!!

 

Are you serious? Hell no, it's not normal! Mine does 185 easy with no rumble in the wheel. You got a serious problem! Get it fixed!! It's obviously not tire balance if you changed wheels/tires and have the same problem.

Not fastest, but best of all: 140 mph (road limited) in a Mclaren F1, and the thing was still pulling like a freight train.

 

There was no 1967 246 Dino Spyder.

 

Make sure you are balancing the front tires/wheels on the car, spin them up to approx. 100 MPH and then check the balance. I only know one guy here that does that, all the rest don't balance them properly for high speed.

 

In the 328, not very, in a 355 130 and to be honest it was enough for me.

 

250 km/h (156 mile) in 328
280km/h (175 mile) in 512TR
