nissan silvia s15 - 210km (with not much legs left)

proton satria gti - 205km (redline in last gear)

and my proudest moment

toyota starlet 1.3l - 190ishkm/h (down a big big hill right off the speedo, that was damn scary, i had speed wobbles)

NismoGirl, did you fix the problem with the car after changing the piping back to norm?

Yeah.. we just put the old pipe back on. It ran like sh*t for about 30 minutes after that but we took it for a squirt around the local streets..

I am taking the car down to the mechanics tomorrow to get it taken off properly. And to get numerous other things fixed.

So if its not running right.. its then not my fault

[Nismo_Boy]

been in a honda accord doing 220km and the speedo was still going, we slowed down soon after

[giz01]

210km/h indicated in a soft top capri turbo BLOODY noisy as one would imagine due to the wind noise, mirrors vibrating etc but wasn't fully wound out think was doing 6000rpm rev limiter @6800 o and obviously this was on a private racetrack cause we all know that it is illegal to do that on the main roads! mates zcar has hit 246km/h not fully wound out due to having to get on the brakes when he caught up to a truck on a hill!

[MrExa]

In my R32 Gtst - approx 20-210 km off the dial and kept goin!!!

Orange Exa - 210 km/h

Red Exa - 215 km/h

sealed off section of road, in the gtr 5th gear roun 8000rpm needle was facing in six o'clock position i cant be sure what that would actually be but round 245 or so! Everything after that felt so damn slow:uh-huh:

[B-Man]

200kph in my VT SS b 4 running out of road

10 years ago - 160 kph in my 1.3 litre Honda Civic (on a down hill stretch , with a tail wind) SCARY STUFF !!!

[Guest MRE]

190 speed limter, dont feel I need to go past there so I wont bother doing the mod.

I like to sit on 180 from the GoldCoast exit to the Logan Motor Way's first toll booth late at night, runs for about 4-6 k's I would say.

[Shell]

180 in my stockers R33

the speed limiter didn't come on, so it's either been disabled already, or it comes on later than 180...not really sure...:burnout:

[Guest SVD001]

210 kph in my old Datto 200b SSS in 4th at 7600 rpm...( 8200 rev limit)..still climbing was ready for 5th when I run out of my private road...Got there in 600 meters...Car sat beautifully..

I miss that car...

Better yet tho.. 230kph in my mates Detomaso Pantera..:burnout:

[polishstorm]

i got busted doing 267kph on the parkway (canberra) in my 76 celica mods were 2jz gte from 95 supra with 6 sp box. only reason i got busted was by those damn mobile speed cameras. but it was well worth it.

[PJKJ]

180 on a private road then i stopped as i thought the limit would come in...

Cheers

[SmoothLine]

Fastest I have reached was 237kph, the car was reving at 5000 still short of the 6500 cutoff. was totaly ****ing my pants and would probably never doing it again, well that and it cracked my radiator....

[hitnrun]

210+ in a suzuki swift GTi, was tracking all over the road pretty badly. I guess the guy who owned it before me and dropped the height by cutting the springs wasn't going for the whole 200+ idea. Dam Qik can confirm this, as he overtook me, I think he was doing around 250 or so. Anyway looked hell cool as he went past

I got my skyline up to 190 45mins after picking it up. Can't wait to cut that pesky little wire, or at least put in a toggle switch.

I don't know about you other guys, but **** "private" roads this was on a public road at 3am in the morning. Good old Bruce Highway.

Haven't done a quarter mile yet, got a few bugs to iron out before I give it a eal good hammering

Official top speed is 260km/h the needle just touched the pin at 0 and I worked out that this is about 260km/h.

Fastest 1/4 13.7

Closest miss....Slowing from 220km/h on a "Private" Country road and my rear tyre blew at 180km/h. Didn't notice till much slower and I tried to take a medium corner and the back end felt like jelly. It was at this point that I found that I could get a jack under my car cause it was too low.

Later at the tyre shop the guy looked at it and asked how fast I was going....I just smiled and he informed me that the crap tyres (his words) were only rated to 160km/h. I nearly died.

[SmoothLine]

Speaking of speed ratings my current tyres are rated V, anyone know what speed rating that is?

I have done 210 (half my heart rate) in my falcon with the first part down a hill to get the speed up, They feel like boats at 100. Not much fun at 210. They also dont brake too good, a whole lotta brake fade from 160+.

Also done 200 in the same car up the Hume on a lazy sunday.

[XrSiSt]

I maxed out all the gears on my Suzuki GSXR-750...

276km/h.. Anything after 200 becomes a blur kinda dont you

all think?
