top speeds

[Clio Boy]

just wondering what top speeds people have managed to get out of their cars, (on private roads and airfields naturally!) 8)

[Mark]

Dunno, Ben, what speed were we doing back from Trax?

189MPH on a bike..

[epo]

i had me gte up 2 125 and me sri up 2 120 but given the fact that nova clocks arnt renound 4 accuracy probably a bit less :lol:

[Clio Boy]

nice, ad me clio up to 114mph and i think that has got to be near the top end. woz stil pulling at 110mph on the flat though!

[Philsutton]

Ive taken it off the clock on mine, 130+ but me thinks that it maybe a little lower some how. Not very reliable clocks. Went over the line at santa pod at 95mph but when i looked at the slip it was only bout 80mph.

[Dare-devil]

Ive also taken mine "off the Clock".. :wink:
The needle points straight down, wenn it hits the limit..

:twisted:

[Dicko]

had it touching the bottom of the clocks easily with the TBS on

[Fester]

mine winds round and goes off the clock, looks good but its blatantly wrong, seems to stay at an indicated 122 (way off) for a short while then gets a second wind and start accelerating again :lol:

[Ben]

Have had my GSi off the clocks :?

Had the 2.0l upto 148mph on the digi dash :?

make of these what you will, i am not going to certify a set of Nova clocks.

On the way back from trax about 85ish

[NoVa_KhAn]

i fort the digi dashes only go upto 127??????? or am i rong

[Dicko]

ur wrong!!! they go upto 288kmph wotever that is in mph (180?)

however i think 127mph is the top speed of a gte due to the gear ratios and the rev limit!!

[Barn]

got 110 out of my SR the other day....fcukin well chuft

148mph....'kin ell !

[NoVa_KhAn]

ok ok mate i was wrong!!! i new i see 127 mph cos thats all my asra went 2

[Chris LR]

I live life in the slow lane

I had 102 out of my SR, which was all it had
So far I've had 96 out of the Saxo and there wasn't much left
I've had the Landy up to 65 I may even hit 70 when I strip and clean the carb. Very Scary

112 near the fuel limit with 3 peeps in the car, still pulling hard

[wisewood]

112 in the 1.2 nova - 84 in the 1.3 nova with the problem (kept cutting out at random times) and the clio i have had 115 but kept coming to slight motorway bends and it slowed slightly and couldnt build it up any higher than that.

All of which, are of course subject tot he reliability of the clocks.

The only proven speed i have done was 58mph in a 40 limit where a copper was standing beside a Sheffield City Council van and took a nice picture of me. :(

:lol:

[McPikie]

147 on my digidash racing with an Evo 6
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[wisewood]

did you win?

[McPikie]

He shit out at 140............. I just carried on. I knew there were no Feds about.

His face was a picture. I am gonna start taking my digicam out with me and hunting down arse bandits like that for the sheer comedy value.

That was with a full tank of fuel as well

[wisewood]

I knew there were no Feds about.

racing in america were you? :lol:
on the look out for Federal Under Cover Koppers

[McPikie]

LOL

I have one of those faces the Fedarallies dont take kindly to

[wisewood]

lmfao and quickly we head over the border to mexico !! :D


The sort of face with a fake moustache and a greasy hair cut - they wouldnt like it if it was like that coz you would look like them!

[Chris]

you can see the picture of my gte. i had my old valver at 147 racing a scort cossie, but i bottled it. i dont trust the wheel bearing at that speed. i imagine they were hot!

Yeah, they don't tend to like it.

I melted a hub on a rolling road session :o

[CP]

177mph

without speed you are dead

[Breeny]

154 on the clocks in the avoN..

I bricked it at that speed anyway... nearly bounced into the central reservation on even the smallest bump.
