How fast have you driven yourself, or been driven?

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.

I would say about 210 km/h.My auntie is like racing driver,she loves speed.i was a little scared that time..LOL j/k

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!

160kph with my Opel Corsa is the fastest I've driven myself.

Numerous times I've experienced speeds around 200kph.

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.

Post by **TheStig** » 07 Feb 2004, 13:59

OK I have done...

230 KM/h (145 MPH) (on the gauge) with a Toyota Celica T-Sport 2002 and it was it's max!!

it was on a german Highway (was Legal btw...) the sad thing was I was blown away by a Porsche 911 (996) Turbo....

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 07 Feb 2004, 19:40

LOL, i've never experienced higher speeds then 112.5 mph/180 kph. It was in my brothers car, a Renault Laguna.

jancleynen · Post by **jancleynen** » 07 Feb 2004, 21:02

)

rtackle50 · Post by **rtackle50** » 08 Feb 2004, 03:45

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.

Dang, that's like soo fast!

What happens if you press the front brake.

Post by **TheStig** » 09 Feb 2004, 03:30

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.

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 09 Feb 2004, 07:38

u lucky to get around on autobahns... but I prefer a gravel road in the forrest, a sideways action! Yeah, the scandinavian flicks (no giggling).

Nitro · Post by **Nitro** » 12 Feb 2004, 04:08

Well..The fastest must have been 230km/h in a friend's RX-7 (he was driving

)....
And as about me...round 190-200km/h in a Honda Civic VTi

Phantom3D · Post by **Phantom3D** » 14 Feb 2004, 02:49

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.
