Speed...

[SmoothLine]

Guys,

Ive been reading alot of posts in the past where people are talking about 'pushing their cars to the limit'. Now here is my question....

What is the fastest that each of you have driven your line, track or street, and what was it like at that speed? Anyone had a close call in a drag?

Also who here has the quickest recorded 0-400?

This will be interesting... :uh-huh:

I've raced to 180..(speed defender ) Didn't even realise I was going that fast till it cut out...

Done a 14.2....cat back exhaust, air filter..R32 Gts-t

yeah same with me.. got to 180, and hit speed limiter, havent done a quarter mile, but would proly get something like 16-17... coz my car is n/a

[carlo]

how fast is warp 5

I have yet to hit any speeds worth bragging about, but im keen to see what it will do in the 1/4 mile.

Does anyone go out to the drags?

[Guest | hype^ |]

iv been to at least 205km/h

i only know coz i was following one of the silviansw boys and i was right behind him.. and he later said his digital speedo said 205...

nothing special about it on a straight road .. its just like any other speed..

nfi about 0-400 not all that good prob..

Worked out that when the needle hits the other side of the 0 it breaks the speedo;)

Based on revs and gear ratios that happens at about 230-240 but it was still sitting rather well on the "private road". Good thing its insanely low.

Maxed out to speed limiter in Sky, pain in the backside when u

start dragging at 150 and both have exactly the same engine

mods.

done 180 the week after i got her.

stock, cut out@5500rpm in 4th.

now 240kw, just like the rush of acceleration not top speed.

[XrSiSt]

Yea the rush of acceleration..

was that on the way to Bathurst? I remember that stretch (after we stopped at the Mobil) and you boys were flying down that road.. I'm sure it was way over 200 coz we were left at the end of the pack and still doing about 160

Fastest I've been was 230 down a crazy hill coming toward Sydney on the F3.. was pretty sketchy tho, car felt very light in the rear.

i hit 247 (on the rsm) couple weeks before i lost my licence.. was pretty much at max.. maybe another 5km -10km or so more left in her.. scary **** though

i remember that.

i am a *****... i hit 180 at eastern creek, and a top of 160 on the freeway where Charlie lost his mudguard.

I ran a friend once and we *guess* that my car is doing high-ish 13's... like 13.6ish... he was using his G-Tech and was doing 13.2 and was only a little bit quicker than me.

remember what i used to fix it? :lol:

bush mechanics at its best

[NismoGirl]

I've done over 180 but I don't know how much over. That was when the car wasn't working properly and the speed cut wasn't working.. But now is about 190... my speedo seems to go to about hte 190 position before chucking a spit.

My best quarter is 14.4 and i am yet to do it again. That was my first ever go at racing.. So I'll try again soon.

[PranK]

NismoGirl, did you fix the problem with the car after changing the piping back to norm?

[2rismo]

Have done a micron over 200 in my 99 mirage and 245 on an old cbr600.

Was racing home from work, errr, ummm, on a pvt rd, yeah, ummm, yer that's it with two mates, both of whom were in '90 model preludes and went over the 200 mark for about 30 secs before the road angled up past flat....went down to 160 like i had my brakes on as soon as the angle changed.....gutless turd.

the bike was also on the way home from work and had a tiny bit left but i was scared )

Cheers

[PranK]

ummmm... We also have a 97 Mirage and it would NEVER reach 200kph... are you sure the speedo is accurate??

[2rismo]

yeah its as accurate as they ever are... even have 16's on.

Extractors, 2.5"cat, 2" system, cold air intake, k&n, rising rate reg... took a LONG time to get up that fast and couldnt old it in a head wind but it got there. the guys in the big old flat hondas were blown away that i even stayed with them.

Cheers.
