I wasn't dirving. Thank god the driver was experienced one, plus there was no car behind / on right track.

I had a 135mph blowout whilst in the passenger seat of my friends rally-stripped Integrale HF. Without a rollcage, I'd be dead now. Car span 180 degrees, his the crash barrier, rolled onto one side, then onto the roof, and slid across 2 lanes of traffic (luckily it was VERY late) and came to rest halfway down the embankment. That was terrifying.

Hmm, fastest I've gone on the ground is ~150 MPH. But that wasn't in a car, so...

which would be ?

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 08 Dec 2006, 01:47

Illegal?

I'm aiming to break 180 in the CSL. Just need myself a nice bit of straight motorway in the dead of night...

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 08 Dec 2006, 02:44

shiznit 348 whp should be able to break 180 km/h no problem, i can break 120 no problem with 180 ~ bhp. just be careful of deer and small mamals that like to roam the back roads late at night

Pssst, that was mph

i give up you europeans confuse me first of all you want to talk in km/h then all of a sudden you talk in mph

180 mph might be pretty tough if a 400 hp corvette has trouble doing that

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 09 Dec 2006, 00:33

The only reason a Corvette can't go 180 is because it'll fall apart before it gets there.

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 09 Dec 2006, 01:39

Naaa, I doubt it is. There are people who've hit the double ton in CSL's before.

Post by **TheStig** » 09 Dec 2006, 05:12

180 should be possible in a CSL, BMW's are officially restricted at 155 (250kmh) and I think without the speedlimiter the CSL is capable of going beyond 180.

180 kmh would be to funny. I can do 180kmh (on the clock) in my Toyota Yaris 1.3.

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 12 Dec 2006, 00:18

Yup - Jeremy Clarkson reckons if you took the limiter off of a standard BMW M5, it'd clear 200 MPH (sorry, I can't work in KMH

) - so 180 MPH in a CSL should be in the realms of possibility.

@ Darknight - it's confusing in that although we Brits are officially part of Europe, we still work in God's own measurements (or something) - Miles. It's the rest of Europe that insist on using those new-fangled Kilometer thingies

I must admit I found driving from the US to Canada confusing when I enetered a town centre and the speed limit was posted at 50 - I thought that was rather high, until I twigged it was in KMH

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 12 Dec 2006, 00:39

I think the whole world should be KMH, would make things so much easier. The US was going to convert to metric a while back, IIRC, don't know why we didn't.

If to look at statistic most guys driving like my gramma LOL

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 12 Dec 2006, 07:16

no i like imperial much more. yea the km/h number might be higher when you are driving but who cares

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 12 Dec 2006, 08:37

I care because the US is one of 4 countries in the entire freaking world that use the imperial system anymore. I say we switch and get all the conversion cofusion over with already.

At this point the fastest I've driven myself is 140kph, because i got a little bit excited on the freeway on-ramp
