mit Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 On the subject of speedometers (or not) and having always wanted to do 200mph, what is the fastest you guys have ever driven (or ridden)? For the purposes of the thread we will assume everyone achieved this speed on an unrestricted section of German motorway. 160 for me.

Singh Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 170 in a 330cd but was a passenger 170? What did it have done? Was it an E46? I managed an impressive indicated 147 in my e46 330cd before I ran out of autobahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Probably not that fast. About 140 indicated which I'd guess is closer to 130 than 140. 170 in a 330cd but was a passenger Edited January 23, 2013 by Gaz clubsport_chris, Aidan316i, SamN and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlpearce Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 143mph in my old 330 on the AB, but it had more to give had the traffic not slowed me down! I also have an uncle that was, up until a few years back, the festest ever recorded speed on UK roads. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/biker-banned-for-160mph-madness-1573100.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F07GT Steve Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Over in germay on a motor bike chasing a BMW, 160mph on my old 750 fazer (Baby V Max) And 2 days before this i was stopped by the belgum police (travaling through to RAF Nordhorn) for doing 120 when they caught up with me and then shooting of to 150ish when they caught back up and then a little blue light came on, I did explain that i thought it was some one playing with my back tyre which they exepted but fined me for the 120mph speed Over hear on the my private road in my e60 530d 140mph being chased by a RS Focus, went up to 140 and then though SLOW DOWN.....

ngy Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 speedo said 155 in my dc2... not sure how accurate it was. My dad took me over 170 in his porsche... that was intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc l Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 170 jay? Was it being towed by a Ferrari lol. Fastest I've been is 135. Mph in a cooper s. But that's what the speedo is saying so I reckon a bit slower if it was measured accurately. I drove 5 super cars around a short track up north for an Xmas present a couple years ago. Unfortunately I couldn't open up the taps Gaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz031178 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Genuinely this was on the autobahn. 6 of us on bikes last year, 2 of us had R1s and my mate had a tomtom bikenav on it so gps. My speedo said 181 which I thought was prob between 5-10% out. However when we stopped I asked phil what his tomtom said and it said 180mph and we were keeping side by side, and bikes were STILL accelerating when I s**t myself and backed off. But to be honest yes was a buzz but was fooking stupid. Kenkus28, Arthur and mit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I did don't worry, just thought I'd source my opinion On a related note, my E46 was remarkably accurate, even at very high speeds the GPS speed was only about 1mph less than the indicated speed. My E93 consistently reads 2mph above actual speed according to GPS, even at 20mph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 A smidge over an indicated 170 in my M3 An indicated 217 on my Hayabusa. An indicated 186 on my GSX-R, but they all stop at 186 anyway. It'll carry on accelerating as it has 1700rpm left until the limiter in top at that indicated speed. mit and Kenkus28 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNL Remapping Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I hit 145mph in my 330cd whilst on a German trip from this forum, mind you last yr on the clock of my Gsxr 1000 it read 284kmh bit scary as the steering had a slight wobble, a few of the crowd didn't stop for fuel & I had to catch em up just outside Amsterdam lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastest I've done is 170mph four up in an RS4 on our way to the Nurburging on the German autobahn! Got it on a video somewhere I think.
