Unfortunately I couldnt get passed it, but I did keep up with a 56 reg BMW 650 coupe in my 1.8T upto 110mph before we both backed off (for a corner which is notorious for police sitting on the other side of).

Fastest car iv'e overtaken is a lambo mecrialago (however you spell it). however, it was on the M1 northbound, which at the moment has stupid amounts of traffic and road works and I was travelling at around 12 mph and I would assume he was travelling at around 8mph.  Great success to the golf!!! LoL. oh and pop trivia, Dizee rascal was driving it.  tosser.
