How Fast Have You Been ?

XG95 · Post by **XG95** » June 18th, 2008, 8:13 pm

The quickest I have personally driven a car is 190 in my ED (AUTO). went from 120 to 190 in about 900m.
Fastest in car, 225 in a HYundai Elantra.
Fastest = 255 on a motorbike. My cousin was in control and I had already shit myself at 200!!!

EL XR8 · Post by **EL XR8** » June 18th, 2008, 8:14 pm

The car - only 220km/h Calder track day

The SV - only 255km/h
The mates GSXR (him riding) - 299km/h when the speedo stopped. Kept pulling another 40ish km/h
" " (me riding) - 270km/h, that was enough at the time.

LOL, i wasnt on the back then.
The first time apart from when i was a kid, he picked us up on a bike he was test riding, and lane split at 220km/h on a CBR900.

Quick enough to realise that looking at the speedo going this fast is a fkn bad idea.

Post by **BLCKED** » June 19th, 2008, 2:19 am

a friend of my parents got a speeding fine on a horse...

coming down wheelers hill long time ago

eb 6 203 max speed
eb 5 litre clocked digital speedo at 199, doing approx 220 acording to my mate in his car

been in my brother in laws lc torry, 350 chev nitrous, 8.9 with the gas and slicks. 10-11 seconds on street trim 170 mph down princess high way dragging a vl :0

speedo reading 170 in my mates r33 drift skyline (mookrg) that was the wheel speed whiles sideways not sure the acutal speed but it was fast.

Schmee · Post by **Schmee** » June 19th, 2008, 3:02 am

140kph in first aint that hard its all in the gearing with the ol 9" diff you can go down to a 2.75 I think and with the right ratio toploader and big revs they would prolly do 140kph without to many dramas

I used to run a HQ Statesman way back when, mild 327 Chev 2 speed powerglide and a 10 bolt sailsbury with 2.60 ratio would do 100mph (160kph) in 1st then chirp 2nd.... slow as off the line but once you got up it and past 3000rpm was all good

robert · Post by **robert** » June 19th, 2008, 8:58 am

About 100 in a 50 zone going for runs in the WRX (quiet street mind you)

150 in my old EB XR6 (very empty road)

Gozza · Post by **Gozza** » June 19th, 2008, 9:07 am

Fastest thing ive been control of was a cessna 152 - comming out of an incipient spin doing 180knotts pointing straight down at the ocean

About 750 kph in a Boeing on the way to NZ.

205kph in a vt gtr commondore and the fastest i have gone is 170 in works mitsubishi colt.

Thats what I was thinking too. 3.00 Bathurst diff, 7000rpm motor and short ratio toploader. The shit thing is if that car could do 140 at say 7000rpm, it'll be doing 40kmh at 2000rpm in 1st, what a bitch that would be to launch...

Post by **pHaT`eL** » June 19th, 2008, 5:53 pm

Fastest in my car: Been to the limiter
Fastest passenger: Around 230km/h in a 2000 model Suburu Liberty B6 Turbo - so so stable at that speed

Faster driven: Over 200km/h doing a V8Experience drive. Saw 200 and decided to look at the road instead

I've done 50 downhill on a racer, mountain bikes are heaps slower and less stable.

No legs out of bed at that rpm?
/lame jokes

Clipless pedals are the bicycle equivalent of ARP rod bolts

I think I overheated the front pads (normal rim brakes) when I stopped though, they felt really 'grindy' for a while afterwards - like a car with a couple of metal to metal pads lol. I should get a pic of the hill...there is a T-intersection at the bottom

180kph in the EA less than a week after I got it... back when I was young and stupid. It handled it alright, but I haven't ever done it since.
