What's your topspeed?

[Cedric]

Fastest I ever accelerated and rode was on a Yamaha racing bike. A friend let me ride it and I was accelerating hard, before I knew it was doing 170kph in 3rd! That was the signal for me to ease off, as I have very little experience with motorbikes. The guy took me with him and we did 270kph !!!! I was on the back and my helmet started to lift badly!
In a car fastest behind the wheel: 180kph in a Celica. Not behind the wheel: 270 in a BMW M5 without limiter!!!
Best ride not behind the wheel which appeared to be the fastest: in Lotus 7 replica Formula 27, 200kph!!! That was the greatest ever.

How the hell can you drive 295 in an Opel Vectra 2 litre?

[mando]

wel it's a 2.0 16v turbo, 4wheel drive, 6speed, 204hp, 280Nm, 0-100km/h in 6.8sec. and a topspeed of 240km/h

it's a bit tuned: bigger intercooler, hybrid turbo (K16/K26), new software, sparkplugs, 550cc injectors and a 2 1/2" open exhaust what brings the power up to 360hp, 510Nm, 0-100km/h 4.6sec. and a topspeed of 295km/h

Rolling on the floor here!!!! That's funny.

Top speed for me is 160km/h (top is 240km/p)...too afraid to go any quicker due to the harsh laws for speeding down here (Australia). I did this speed in my Pulsar SSS '98.

I love speed, I live in switzerland and other here the limit speed on the highways is 120 km/h around 75mph . There are too many radars on highways and policemen are everywhere. The police in Switzerland is very very rich, they got a lot of maney. For chasing people on highways they got big cars like, Ferrari maranello, BMW M5, Benz E55 AMG, Porsche 911 turbo BMW 540i and all the BMW that you can imagine. Police here is sponsored by BMW and Volvo. You see beating the 140km/h can bring you in jail.

So for beating my top speed I'm gone in Germany. The paradies no limit speed on the highway. I have two cars a Z3 1.9l the top speed is very ridiculous, with that car I have reached 200km/h (125mph) it is the maximum, but with my slk 230 kompressor I have reached 263km/h, in fact the real top speed of this car is 230km/h but I have made some big mods. But I have a friend who has reached 332km/h in his Porsche GT2 with some great mods. It was not on a track (OH MY GOD HE IS FOOL) it was on a French Highway and now he doesn't have driving licence no more.

Speed is a goo feeling but please think that you are not alone on the road.

I've heard about Switzerland's policy on motor cars, they are so cruel! Why is it that the Swiss government really hates car-related things? I know that racing has been forbidden since the heavy Le Mans disaster of '55.

I work at Lingenfelter..well i'm still kind of an apprentice, but I maxed out a Corvette with a 427 cubic inch engine at 232 mph testing for top speed...but the actual top speed is 241. Apparently i got 0-60 in 2.1 and 0-100 in 4.7. Driving such a powerful car is something most people don't get to do, so I cherish my job!

if they are looking for some other people to do topspeed testdrives, I want the job

Engineers, CEOs, and the like don't usually get to do top speed runs, much less apprentices. I doubt you work at Lingenfelter. Or were you just joking the whole time?

I squeezed my Peugeot 205 T16 to 125 mph (200km/h) which is its top speed but I can get to 60 mph in just 5 seconds.
