Speed...

All I'm gonna say on this matter is that our speed limited doesn't exist.

polishstorm, you are one lucky guy :uh-huh:

the magistrate must have been in a good mood

i can't believe you went that fast on the Parkway in the first place...that's scary stuff...with all those concrete walls in the middle...

the times I've done it have been out on a highway, where there's big wide roads and long straights you can see the end of.

To Birty.....is that a dig or do you like those cars??? Cause I can back that statement up if your not to sure about the authenticity of it??

Whats the speed cut feel like?? my needle will go to about 190, but i don't feel the cut.

I can pull a little over 180 on the straight at the nasho....scarey **** though...i think the car gets air!

Fastest was 230 in an S14 (very floaty, don't try it), but as for cut off - I hit 190klm on the straight at EC, and I originally thought I was hitting speed cut out, turned out to be the rev limit in fourth! Still not sure if/where the rev limit is (since 5th is no faster )

Keep in mind that speedos are up to 10% optimistic - so the 180 limit may still be there while the speedo reads 198!

[Silver-Arrowz]

Clocked 250 in a NSX.

About 200 in the WRX.

And 190-200 before the speed limiter stopped the fun in the GTR.

No I was serious, they're awesome cars.

[doxximus]

100 in the colt (didnt try going more than that...started pinging and rattling and really scary especially on freeway)

not reached top speed in the line yet

[Guest SVD001]

Birty.... cool stuff. Yeah they are pretty fine. I took my old man for a spin in the Pantera and he rekons it takes off faster than the Machii he used to fly...

[Guest SVD001]

to PJKJ..Yep I'm in ipy all right.. Not a good thing but it'll do for now. Haven't been on any cruizes as yet. Only went to that Drift day out at Mt Cotton the other week. seeing as tho you live in Ipswich,, Have you seen that gorgeous silver R31 that's always parked outside of Kenard's Hire heading out of town??? It's got SKY89 or 89SKY plates on it. I'm keen to go in there one day and ask who owns it... I'd like to go on a mountain drive at some stage. Surely others would be up to it......

280 km/hr in a HJ Holden Ute! (Years ago)

Had 502ci Chev(8.2L), 5 spd Tremec, & 2.5:1 nine inch diff!

Got busted on freeway doing 160 at exactly 2000rpm in 5th -

so we worked out at 3500 it was doing roughly 280.

Crazy thing is it would of pulled to 4000 rpm in 5th, but I doubt

it would of stayed on the road at over 300 kays!!!

10.1 @ 133 mph in a HX Holden Ute! (also years ago)

Had 350 chev, powerglide,5.11 diff, & 32x14 slicks.Ran methanol.

Dinosaurs all gone now.(well almost-have commodore ute)

R34 GTR - 12.5 @ 114mph. Std exept for Power FC & Nismo Exhaust. Need to get 320 Km speedo 'cause it maxs out the std 180 km speedo well before 7000 rpm in 4th & I've had it doing

over that in 5th. Haven't really stretched it's legs in 6th yet!

*have now - does 285km & 12.1 @ 115mph*

R33 GTR - 10.7 @ 135mph (So far) at Drag Combat.

Looking forward to breaking past the 140 mph barrier.

It was doing around 8000 rpm in 4th over the line when it did

135mph (216 km/hr) so imagine 9000 rpm in 5th & 6th?

Has trust 6 speed. Will have to finalise last will & testament before attempting this! ( In Northern Territory of course)

*now 9.66 @ 148mph with Holinger 6 speed*

*now 9.50 @ 153mph but didnt back off till 265km according to datalogging - pity the track isn't longer.*

[Piggaz]

[Guest Crazyfcuk]

180 in my sky, hit the zero in my old celica. didnt have a limiter

[giz01]

my gf's 97 S14 auto -210kph indicated on a private road of course!

13.759 @ 101.15mph/162.78kph (17/08/02 @ willowbank)

About 250, not absolutely sure it is hell scary at that speed. My mate in the back seat says it was 245-250. Ran out of gearing to go faster, engined pulled fairly happily all the out to this speed. This was driving between hometown and industrial town with excelent highways. That time was enough for me, won't do that again soon.

This is usually 4 hour drive. We cruised nearly all the way at about 180, anything above that my external wastgate was activated and was noisy and gave me the ****s. At one satge we had to stop (potty break), tried to catch up to cars that are allready going 150, not easy. Took nearly 15 minotes of 200 plus driving.

This road is well known for no cops, everyone speeds along it.
