Ok, I'm not saying speeding is cool, or the-thing-to-do, but I am simply curious. I expect that some peeps will be telling porkies tho saying that they reached Mach1 in their 1100cc Nova's
There is a time and a place for enthuastic driving, and only if the conditions permit. Fast driving does not kill, poor drivng does.
240km/h or so - in a Audi 200 turbo which a college friend of mine used to drive. It was fast, scary as hell and I never went that fast myself on any road (that was on a highway - we knew no cops were around, and the road looked clear as far as we could see. So he floored it from the start until he decided it was enough for the car, and backed off.
BTW, who ever drove on Autobahns will put most of us to shame!
I got to 200km/h w/o many problems with my A4 2.8quattro back in US. But when I got my turbo diesel 1.9 A4 - the most I got to was around 170... I am not used to pushing poor diesels!! They are damn good on low end torque thou!
Going on vacation to a place which is 1000 km from home, my father drove me at 190 km/h. That was allmost as much as our CLX Mondeo could take us. I've driven at 110, my father didn't let me go faster (I'm 16 )
The most iv`e driven myself at is 146 mph down the A1(M) in the UK at 3am in the morning during the summer in a 1994 Vauxhall Calibra 4x4 Turbo which was superchiped.
I was Scared shiznit to say the least. Had to sell it because of the insurance and getting caught
Toyota Celica GT-S 2003. My cousin was driving it.We were going about 154mph when he decided to slow down...not much traffic on the highway but there were some cars...what scared the hell out of me was when he swirved a little and then the sound of the wind hitting the window hard.
never driven over 90 mph my self, but my cousin drove me in his 1988 Mustang gt with some engine modifications and we were pushin 120mph. We wouldve gone faster but those speeds arent exactly legal in Akron, Ohio.
I have once been on the buddyseat behind my brother on his Honda VTR 1000 motorbike and done 260 Km/h and I almost wetmy pants... if was freakin scary.... it was on a motortrip to Munchen Germany... on the autobahn

260- KM/h is about 165 MPH....
Dang, that's like soo fast! What happens if you press the front brake.
you don't wan't to know...
really... you just let go of the trottle and brake a little.. this slows you down pretty fast (wind drag) and no you can't make a emergency stop...but you can slow down fast without skidding.
and Don't sit up straight... until you under 200 KM/h (125MPH) or your (almost)blown from the bike.
BTW I don't advise to do it....
If you like to try a speed do it on a track or on the biggest track in the world THE german Autobahn.... (if it's quiet)

Nice to drive on top speed on the Autobahn, but not funny to see a guy with a faster car.
Ive driven in 238kmh in my dads 528, in my own car (BMW 318i) I could not reach more than 205kmh It was on a Norwegian road with 90kmh limit I belive. But is was no cars on the road those nights.
