What's the fastest you've ever driven in a car....

[bobotheclown]

theoretically speaking if my car were on motorway at night and if it were put in sport mode and the accelerator pedal were to be pushed all the way down then it would, in theory, be able to go 145mph at which point the driver, being a bit scared, would lift off well before the car reaches it maxium speed as the speed was still increasing. theoretically speaking of course.

Are you sure about that   I've heard 180mph would be top top end with alot of mods and tens of thousands spent
Norris designs evo is the fastest in the world at over 200mph but thats running around 930bhp and 740+ft-lbs of torque   and roughly £120,000 spent on mods alone

Fastest i've been was 170ish in an Abt tuned and derestricted S4 running 510bhp on an autobahn back to the airport from a factory visit and running late for a plane  
Fastest in the UK was 150 in my evo 6

Actually driven the car? Or been a passenger?

I hit 151mph in my mk1 on a mile 'sprint' with all the timing gear strapped to my car for a magazine shoot.  The car wasn't built for top speeds though.

My ZX12r was limited to 300kph and I rode that as fast as it would go.  I doubt it was 300kph/187mph as my shoulders were sticking out too much so I reckon around the 180mph mark.

off the clock, about 125mph in the saxo (will be taking it down r-tech soon to stick it on the rollers, should be a good laugh)
140mph in dads old 2.5 v6 24v mondeo

[gjroe78]

165mph in my MG ZR on gps 175mph on the back of my dads SP1 

I think the gps may have been slightly wrong as the top speed is listed at 130mph on a zr160
