295 km last night.......360 Modena
my need for speed seems to run out at about 155mph which i have done in several porsche's and a couple sportbikes. will usually hit more than 100mph everytime i take my car out
well i think i'll be part of the rare and exclusive Granny Club: i've managed to make it to nearly 90mph in my 308! woohooooo! john
165 indicated in my 328GTB, on a Farm to Market road in Texas, years ago...speedo was optimistic, to say the least(3500 ft. altitude, bit of throttle left to go). Kinda dumb, but at the time got the old blood pumping. Many time ~150 indicated, some nice little stretches around here to wind it up, then shut-R-down...
I've been a passenger in several Ferraris while at speeds of about 145 - 150. Last week I was a passenger in a new BMW M5 that did 150mph. I got a photo of us at about 143mph. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I hit 198MPH (actual) on a modified Kawasaki ZX12R. Bike speedos are way off and the speedo was pegged at 220MPH. I have seen just under 190MPH (actual) on my MV agusta. Just over 180MPH (actual) in a heavily modified C5 Corvette. Fastest in a Ferrari would be my F430 spider, just over 150 MPH (indicated), on the longest straight at the race track. That speed is pretty uneventful in the 430, even with the top down.
When I was driving .... 45 m/h ... Everyone had to go around me .... and take pics of Stradale holding up the traffic...(not a Fwy)
265kph (160mph) down a hill with a tail wind in a rented S-class Mercedes on the autostrada with my wife asleep in the passenger seat. Before she went to sleep she made me promise not to go above 100mph. She woke up, looked at the speedo and freaked. It was a very silent ride for about an hour after that... Got my first car - a Renault LeCar - up to about 90 going down a hill. The thing wanted to take off and fly. Absolutely no steering above 80. Took my Mondial 3.2 cabriolet to 145 once a while back - rock steady and still accelerating.
Few weeks ago 320 km/h in my mate's Audi RS4 (chipped from 380 to 425hp). Faster than we menaged with his 360spider a few times. My 348 does 285 on the speedo. Speeds we can do several times as the german border is about 55 km from my house.
really? BMWs are great freeway cruisers. You must take a ride in 12 cylinder BMW. 110 feels like 60. smooooooth. at 100mph the 850i closes it 's windows automatically and locks the doors. check out E31.net, there is a video of an 850CSI sustaining 188mph on the autobahn. Now that is fast.
204 MPH in a 512 BBLM on the Autostrada 194 in a 365 BBLM on the way to Monterey 193 In my 365 BB - LM camed wide ass, on the way to Monterey with my sons mouth wide open 188 in the Breadvan at 3am on a Bonsai run with a Chevy 409 with paper thin sheet metal on the 60 freeway 175 in the Breadvan on the way to Palm Springs with Stephen Mitchells GTO bumping my ass 170 in my SEFAC SWB racing a Pontiac GTO Judge on the 605 freeway three days before it opened to the public, the pontiac was no where to be seen 155 in my Lusso on the way to Vegas with my wife threatening to leave me, and she did
