[BIGS]

It would be better if you was actually in control of the vehicle lol

[Jack]

lmfao, I was gonna say, what speed do commercial airliners do? I'm sure the BA flight I was on t'other week said it was doing over 600mph lol

Erm, in control, somewhere over 150mph in the Celica.

[FUSION X16XE]

Mines 128mph

[craig green]

Had my Nova waaay off the clocks before now, so thats gotta be a proper 99mph I reckon? lol

Seriously though, top speed no idea but I much prefer the sensation of brutally savage acceleration. Like a 400bhp DAX Rush kit car, or big power Cossie really.

[areofall]

CSL M3 175mph wasn't impressed with the driver, I near shat myself and it was in the wet:eek:

[General Baxter]

iv been too 218 on a motorbike lol

with it in a wheelie to about 190 lol

[hagger]

im guessing around 120-140 when i did my driving experiance day in a ferarri, lambo and caterham 7...but i didnt really keep my eye on the clocks lol

[CoolTiger]

125mph on motorbike 120 in car

[chimp007_uk]

138 in the nova :0 Wont be doing that again...

[General Baxter]

138 in the nova :0 Wont be doing that again...

if things wernt falling off, you went going fast enough lol

[tom_beverley]

Just got to 137mph in the T40'd SR (digi dash reading though :() and around 135mph in the vRS, private road of course!

[Jack]

138 in the nova :0 Wont be doing that again...
Was it a 1.2? lol

Mine was on the airfield at work, they used to open it up for people to hoon down (not any more, obviously!). Thank feck for the Celica having very very good brakes, as I nearly ran out of runway lol

[FUSION X16XE]

What was it called?

Western zoyland?

[Pistol Pete]

130 mph on my bike, was quite enough, and 145ish mph in a car. All on private roads of course.

[Jack]

What was it called?

Western zoyland?
No, I work at Yeovilton.

[Riggy]

lol me and rexy got MPH out of jacks saloon , if you look at some nova clocks you will work it out lol

[loggyboy]

140 in the nova several times.
140 in theLexus several times.

[Adam]

Off the speedo in mine (*cough* at donny *cough*)
Which is probably about 54mph true speed lol

Im with craig though, just sitting at high speed is quite boring imo, been pushed into/thrown about in your seat is miles more fun :cool:

[chimp007_uk]

Was it a 1.2? lol

Cheeky begger... The f20 box just about had enough.

[General Baxter]

just to let you know the police chopper around here maxes out a 163mph (ground speed) lol

[kevo16v]

Passenger in a sapphire cosworth at 160..... of course not on a pulbic road ;);)

[Spudly]

Ive done some silly spped in an XE nova, needle was almost touching the reset button for the trip counter and around 167mph in a supercharged civic type-R:thumb:

[Jack]

lol me and rexy got MPH out of jacks saloon , if you look at some nova clocks you will work it out lol
I'm too scared to go fast in that, the tracking is all over the shop... I've had it to 100 and it felt like it was about to fall apart lol

[chimp007_uk]

I'm too scared to go fast in that, the tracking is all over the shop... I've had it to 100 and it felt like it was about to fall apart lol

I know that feeling... I'm going to fit bushes on mine and quick rack, diff doesn't help atm :(

[Andy]

140 odd in a few cars,
150 on a Gsxr slingshot 750,that felt insanely fast it pulled my arms off nearly lol

[ade]

meh - I've done about mach 1 - was in a plane at the time mind...coming back from OZ

land based - speedo on the old Volvo 2ltr s40 sport we used to own touched 128 and I got scared.

lol

120mph backwards in a calibra that was scary .

150ish on a few bikes.

[nova_Tom]

135 in a Ford Fiesta XR2i Turbo....
but honestly my 1.0 aint kicking no more than 90mph lol

[mowgli]

I much prefer the how long did it take door to door type of thing, cos that way, you know whats really going on. anyone with enough petrol & dads car can easily do big speeds down the motorway in the middle of the night.
once upon a time, i did 75miles in 55 mins on a mixture of single & dual carriageway roads, but no motorways, from oxford to my mums house in leicestershire starting at 1am, in a 1.2 merit, & yes, it was very nippy

:( Thats what i did. This was nearly 10 years ago though!:roll: Young and stupid i guess! Now i'm just stupid...lol

[wilson_sri]

145 on the digi dash off my old corsa turbo, think it was 132 on the road angel. Thats the fastest so far!

[mowgli]

ok, I'll play the speed game..... bmw735csi, about 15 years ago whilst trying to deliberately trying to scare my stepdad for a bet. 150mph round a bend on A444 past gibbet lane near twycross in the middle of the day.....

lol I did Cheltenham to Yeovil, from my gf's (at the time) doorstep to my doorstep in about 1:20, about 100 miles. That included being stopped for 15 minutes on the M5 by the police who gave me 3 points and a £60 fine. Which was lucky.

Very very silly though, and I'd never attempt it again!

[mowgli]

my house in south west leicestershire, to nova ians house in nottingham, 39 miles, 24 minutes lol

yeah, but the m69/m1 is rather fast...... if you did it up the a447, then you are a driving god.

[16v Nova Kev]

i got 130 out my cav on the bypass near my house never again. and the worst time was in my mates fiesta turbo he took me through a mini roundabout in 30 limit at 110mph i nearly pulled the stuffing out his seat.

[FB_evolutions]

[Smurf-Xx]

Excuse the crotch zooming, its a GPS that i was trying to focus on!! showing the confirmed 140mph

[Dod]

[Spudly]

165 or so mph in a mk2 Cav. Believe it or not.


Your mates auto LET by any chance?

[Dod]

Indeed. The Digi dash only reads to like 145mph and starts to go down the way after that. lol

[Philsutton]

roughly 1,328,000km/h

[draper]

very

[FUSION X16XE]

roughly 1,328,000km/h

how?

[Southie]

70mph...

...in reverse Lotus Carltons are lethal lol

[Philsutton]

That is the speed that Earth is moving through space when you take into account how fast we are orbiting the sun, how fast the sun is orbiting the galaxy and how fast the galaxies are moving themselves against the cosmic microwave background. So your answer is 1.328,00km/h when you measure you speed against a true stationary point in space. Then consider that space itself is expanding.
