Fastest you've ever gone?

[Papahyooie]

K, so a little backstory:
A couple of months ago I bought a gsxr600. I bought it used, pretty much just cause I like the styling, Im not really a speed demon myself. After I got it home I pulled off the backseat to find the helmet lock, and lo and behold the previous owner already had installed a powercommander III usb (jackpot!) as well as the micron intake/exhaust that i already knew about. Like I said though, i'm not really a speed demon. I like to takeoff fast, dragraces, the like. I live on the redline, and 70mph in first gear is an everyday thing for me, but i never really get over 100mph. Just not my thing, im more into wheelies and acceleration. But heretofore ive pretty much babied it.

Fast foreward to last week, i went on vacation to a bike rally with my folks. My uncle has a 1900 suzuki m109r (a big sport v-twin cruiser) and it takes off hella fast. He wanted to see what it would do against mine. So we get out onto a long mississippi straightaway at about 60mph and he gets up beside me. I drop it down the gears until the tach hits 10k (which happened to be second gear) and wave him to take off, then I chase him. I passed him a mere second later, and decided to continue on. Well, long story short, when I hit 150 in 4th gear at 10k rpms, I figured i'd better let off, seeing as how my girlfriend was on the back and the wind was getting to us (she didnt mind, she wants to see if it will hit 200 with us both on it.... she's crazy) plus i figuratively (okay, i'll admit, semi-literally) started to piss in my pants a little at that point. Heretofore the fastest i've ever gone was 130 in her honda accord.
150 in 4th gear at 10k rpms... that means I still had half the powerband left in 4th, plus all of 5th and 6th. Some bikes, like my old one, 6th is just an overdrive with no real power, but this one will pull a steep hill in 6th at low rpms no problem, so I know thats not the case. By my calculations that puts my top speed at concievably 200+ mph! Everyone says they do 160 stock so that powercommander is a beast! 150mph and the thing was just begging for more. Nascars do like 220, I cant even imagine chasing nascars on a motorcycle, jeez. At 150 youre already going more than twice what most people are doing on the freeway... I just cant even imagine it.

So now that you're done reading my not-so-short story, whats the fastest you've gone, in what, and where? (and did you get caught lol) On the ground of course, airplanes dont count.

Fastest I've gone is 180 Mph in a buddies Vette on a 3 mile stretch of 4 lane divided road about 10 minutes away from me, that has absolutely nowhere for cops to sit, and no way for them to make a uturn, as it has a barrier.

As far as hitting 200 on your bike, I wouldn't count on it. Even if it pulls at low rpms uphill at low speeds, that resistance is nothing compared to the aero resistance at 180+.

[Papahyooie]

Yea, thats true. Then again, the resistance is alot less on a bike (especially with one person perched below the windscreen) than a car. I wouldnt ever hope to actually make it to 200, but I just meant that doing imperfect math put it around there. At 150 I gave it one last twist before letting off, and it still pulled like it does at 80, so it still had *plenty* of power left. I just dont know... not like i'll ever have the balls to see lol.

by the way I might add, i was getting my speed from my gps, not the speedo. I dont even know what that said. I think gps is more accurate, if im not mistaken.

[DanTheBanjoman]

I'm always amused how people here are obsessed with fast cars. Bragging about maximum speed and acceleration. Though fact is, there isn't a spot in .nl where you may go past 120kmph, mostly just 100. Distances here are short and there are always traffic jams so there isn't even space to speed.
People then usually answer "go to Germany", and they actually do. Drive to Germany to speed, and come back home. It's pathetic :)

To answer the question, I don't own any motorized vehicle, just some bikes. Fastest on ground would be some high speed train. Probably for the best though :)

[mtosev]

:D in slovenia we have ppl that drive 200KPH on the freeways despite the speed limit being 130KPH.

even a mayor in slovenia drove his Porsche over 200KPH and destroyed the car. he just walked away. he wasnt ingered at all.

[3991v]

75 mph :p

[Cuzza]

lol @ mtosev , crazy politicians

once i found a back road and maxed out my toyota cressida at 182kph . pretty sure my civic could do more than that but i have no desire to prove it. maybe i'm grown up now?

[1Kurgan1]

150ish, not completely sure, my SHO's speedo stopped at 140 and it was pegged to the dash under that for a bit, then my diff pin went through the casing, lol! Only been to 130mph in my GTX, actually had my bone stock 91 Civic F22 up to 130mph down hill, 94 duster to 104 (crazy fast!), 84 Grand Marquis 105mph, 91 GMC Jimmy 120mph, 95 lumina 105mph, 92 CBR 600 F2 120mph. Some of these weren't mine, but most were.

But about the bike doing 200+, just won't happen, not on a 600, 1000cc bikes can't quiet hit 200mph. Also bikes have horrible aerodynamics, the front of them is basically flat, cars have far better aerodynamics, just they weigh a lot more.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

145 mph (friends lancer gsr), myself 180 kpm (jdm speedcut) very regularly ina jdm ae110 corolla, about 150 mph (friends caldina gt-t) st-215

The only way you could ever understand is if you actually experienced these things yourself. Doing 180 on a public road scares most people shitless, myself included. It's just that the adrenalized thrill of speed outweighs the fear of death in some of us. lol.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

speeding in from FnF2, when i reached home i couldnt sleep for hours cause i was jacked up on adrenaline

[Wile E]

I still want to hit the magical 200mph mark. The ZZ502 in my buddy's C4 (mentioned above) didn't quite have enough to get there in that stretch of road.

I will do it someday.

+1 to that.

I have done 165-175mph on both flat a ways, and on hilly roads.


I have done 130Mph to many times to count lol.....

I too would like to hit 200Mph or really 220;)

[Papahyooie]

To all the 200mph naysayers: I guess i should have clarified more, I know it wont happen. All i meant was that when i did the quick math (ie I gained this much speed in 3rd gear, this much speed in 4th gear, etc) it put it at 200+. I know thats not realistically going to happen. And obviously im not going to attempt to do the math to compensate for wind resistance and power loss, etc in my head... if I care that much, i'll just do it and see lol.

Anyways, 1Kurgan1, 120 in a Jimmy??? That just doesnt sound safe, lol. As for 1000cc bikes, ive already put an R1 to absolute shame on the low end and thats where I like it, so im happy with my 150mph if I cant shame the liters in a quarter. And horrible aerodynamics? A bike could have a flat, vertical front fairing and it still would have less drag than a car due to nothing but pure surface area. And a gsxr's fairing is far from flat.

@Dan, well where I live the freeways are the only straight roads. Probably why i'm more obsessed with accelleration than top speed in the first place.+

Edit: +1 to Wile E. Thrills, cheap or not.

I think Car Craft did a build of one of those a few years back, jammed a Centrifugal SC on there and cracked out 900hp. I can't remember if they used the 454 or the 502 though, either way, I don't think they switched out anything to do it inside the block.

Nah that Jimmy was a police truck before, had al lthe HD suspension, tranny, posi front + rear, it had been faster than that before, thing was a beast, was really sad to see it drive off at 270k, granted it was rotted apart, seats were going through the floors and jackets had to plug holes in the floors so it would hold heat in winter, the original (never rebuilt) 350 still ran like a top after a life time of punishment.

About surface area, I'm tellign you it doesn't matter that much, here's the technical explaination from another forum that I'm on sometimes.

Total drag (Dt) and drag coefficient (Cd) are two completely different but related things. Cd is equal to the coefficient of parasitic drag (Cdp) plus the coefficient of induced drag (Cdi). Cdi is minimal on motorcycles though so it can be effectively disregarded.

Total drag (in lbs) can be found by multipyling the Cd, dynamic pressure* (q), and the surface area (S).

* dynamic pressure is made up from the density ratio (local air density accounting for local altitude, temperature, and barometric pressure measured against standard density) multiplied by the air velocity in knots squared. The resultant of that is then divided by 295.

The formula looks like this:

Dt=Cd(q)S

As you can see drag is determined by five factors. Cd, surface area, local pressure, local temperature, and air speed.

As the above poster mentioned, high end sports cars generally have Cd numbers in the mid 0.3s. Motorcycles however have Cd numbers close to 1.0 depending on the model bike, size of rider, and riding position. In looking at the formula you should be able to deduce one major point. Drag is increasing exponentially with speed.

Plugging in some generic numbers show this better.

Variables: Standard atmosphere (sea level, 15 degree C, and a barometer of 29.92), Car at .35 Cd. Bike at 1.0 Cd. Car surface area at 19 sq. ft. Bike surface area at 7 sq. ft. (surface areas and Cds are approximate numbers).

50 kts

Bike Dt = 59.32 lbs

Car Dt = 56.35 lbs

100 kts:

Bike Dt = 237.3 lbs

Car Dt = 225.44 lbs

150 kts:

Bike Dt = 533.90 lbs

Car Dt = 507.20 lbs

Conclusion:

In the case of cars vs. bikes the bikes generally have triple the Cd but 1/3 the surface area so Dt remains about the same regardless of speed. Cars kick the crap out of bikes at high speeds because at high speeds the predominant factor is aerodynamics. As speeds increase the rate of acceleration decreases and the superior HP/weight ratio that gave the bike superior acceleration at low drag speeds cease to be the deciding factor. At high speeds where rates of acceleration are minimal you need horsepower to overcome the drag factors. As we have seen, aerodynamic drag is approximately equal so whoever has the most horsepower wins.

Also beating a 1000cc down low is just a bad rider, 600's trap in the 130's while 1000's trap in the 140's, they have more power at any given speed if the rider knows what gear to use and isn't scared to pin it. Not saying it didn't happen, as a lot of people are scared to open them up, especially something like a 1000, which is good because thats a lot to handle and if they can't the results will not be good. And the other thing about bikes is their reaction time is so quick, a downshift and hit and you cover a lot of ground instantly, thats hard to make up, so even a small jump is going to take a lot of time to catch, 10mph trap difference, but think how much time it takes you to cover 10mph on a bike to make up that difference, not a ton, they are crotch rockets for a reason, wish I had one, only get to ride my friends :(

I understand driving fast gives a kick, I don't understand driving to Germany to do it or buying a fast car in a country where there is no way you could go that fast without losing your license and then bragging about your car.

You should try our highways to understand, distances between exits here are very short, there is no space to go 180.

[Papahyooie]

Well thats interesting. I dont know what all those numbers really mean, i'll have to do some more research. But really, how in the world could a car have less drag than a bike? I understand that more hp is needed to overcome the drag, which is why they'd win out at high speeds... but a bike has less surface area, and they're just as "curvy" for lack of better word, as a sports car (like it says, depending on rider position.) Just seems to me like there's no possible way a bike can push back more air than a car... i guess i dont really know much about it tho, so i must concede.

@Dan: Well we dont have any space here in arkansas to get to 180 either... we make our own space lol.

[WhiteLotus]

about >100MPH. Don't see the point in going much faster, didn't get any thrill out of endangering myself or other around me.

[Black Panther]

Around 800mph....


in a plane... :D

Driving a car my most has been 120kmph, and I did it only once. Speed limit in Malta is only 80kmph and that in the arterial roads (no highways here)...

According to wikipedia we have 20 times as many people per square kilometer here than in Arkansas, plus we have ten times as much water. So if you already lack space, imagine the roads here.

[erocker]

I got my old Escort GT up to 120 with a reprogrammed computer. At that speed with that thing it's like driving on water really really fast.

[El Fiendo]

I've had a Pontiac Sunfire up to ~110 MPH and that's as fast as I ever want to go (probably actually faster) in something that light with no real downforce.

What I'm trying to say is, the adrenaline rush it gives is worth the trip to Germany for gear heads.

And there aren't any places to do it legally over here either. If I ever got caught, I'd lose my license on the spot.

On the plains, I have done 120+ on E470 though, and stupidly enough a 3-2downshift by accident catching up to a Audi and buried the tach at 12K and no harm done other than my pride.:o

The last few MPH seemed to take a while, although the looking out for state patrol made it seem like forever. I once was running about 110 down a side road, slid to a stop at the stop sign only to have a cop coming up the intersecting road, he saw the tire smoke and just shook his head. There was still a fence up for construction.

[Wile E]

It will do it. ;)

Not if it's anywhere near stock it won't. Your speedo is just off if it read that high. My 2000 GTS wouldn't do it near stock, and it's a hell of a lot quicker than a 7A powered 6th gen.

Must have been ballsey, was the front end lifting up on you?


185 in a modified RX-8 on the bare run, its a 5 mile strait a way that has marsh on both sides, no place for cops to hid, and no place to turn off either, its a single lane road( one in each direction), and to do it in any vehicle is ballsy because its not exactly flat, some minor waves in the road, the record is held by a guy who has a twin turboed corvette who hit 188, he won the race (obviously), he beat brian out (the guys who's rx-8 i was driving) by less then 3mph.

Shame, i wasn't driving that night i know i would have won that race.

125MPH in a stock Chevy Monte Carlo...

I could have gone faster, but Chevy put a damn speed limiter on it...under WOT the card accelerates from a dead stop all the way up to 120, shifts into 4th, continues to accelerate until 125 and then instantly stops, RPMs sitting exactly at 4000RPM...I really need to replace the computer on the thing to get rid of that.

Be wary, 4T60e's and 4T65HD's have a weak 4th and dont like a lot of power being put down when shifting into them at high speeds.

That 1% is the 4T80-E in the Northstar caddies. Sucker is a tank, it weighs over 300lbs and takes the power EASY (Though not that many HP mods for the N*). The 4t60-E is DINKY, I can lift it by myself. Doesn't even hold a candle to the 4L60-E RWD tranny which is near bulletproof.

[1Kurgan1]

I wonder how much power the 4T80e can take? The 4t65HD actually is pretty decent, just 4th I hear is weak, but most people say they are good for low 13's and some people are running 12's on them.

It was designed for weight up to 8000lbs and extreme power levels. I know of a guy that was running a turbo 99 STS, I think he was close to 400HP at the fly wheel. Here is the video of it, I wish I could find more on him, but he kinda dissapered.

Interesting, I wonder what its weight and price compares with the 4T65E-HD, the 4T60E is used in the basic 3800's, the HD is what goes into any of the SC'd cars. There isn't much info on the HD that I can find compare to the 4T65E, I'm seeing that the 4T65E is rated for 6500lbs and 280ft lbs, I'm thinking the 4T80E can't be too far beyond the 4T65E-HD, still interesting.

idk i mean i did 132 in my old 90 integra B-18A1 i didnt mod that welll i rebuilt it...but their were no mods except cold air intake. 4 bangers can do it..just depend on how light they are.

130 is easy in almost anything, I did 130 down hill in my 91 Accord F22, which is 145hp I believe same as the B18A1. It would only do about 120 on flat ground. 148mph takes some real steam though, downhill or not. I don't think I quiet hit 150 in my SHO, was def past 140, prob like 145 and those cars are known to have a ton of top end and thats a 220hp car.

There is a world of difference between 132mph and 150mph. It takes a good bit more power to get to 150.

To out it into perspective, your car has 130hp, his, if it's a 94, has 115hp. If his is 95-99, he only has 105hp.

Neither my '04 Sentra SER Spec-V nor my 2000 Celica GTS, which are both far more powerful than his car, could get anywhere near 150mph. Both top out right around 140mph on the flat. Had the stock Celi up to 142ish downhill once.

But, at those speeds, you also have to realize most speedos are way off. They usually indicate higher than what you are really traveling.


Oh, and I wanted to point out, the 250hp to the wheels is a typo on my part. I meant at the crank.

Signed +1, I also figured you meant crank which I agree is dead on, since I feel I had to be a bit short of 150mph. At top end p/w ratio just isn't a big deal (of course still matters some), its aerodynamics and hp.

[niko084]

189mph gun, speedo read 192mph in my old '89 Iroc-Z.
No it wasn't stock....

I also have a '04 Yamaha R6, had that to 160, check speedo against the tach a few minutes later, matched up.

[niko084]

True!
Wind resistance just builds and builds, and if the car is designed right it weighs more at high speeds do to down force which helps maintain traction and stability.

Ya you would need another 20ft/lbs or like 50hp to get from that 140 to 150, maybe more, also depends on where that power lands on your curve, if it's low it wont help at all, it needs to be in the rpm range of that speed in order to do any good.


But, at those speeds, you also have to realize most speedos are way off. They usually indicate higher than what you are really traveling.


Also true, and with age a lot of the older ones get even further off.. I have seen them from near perfect to 10-15% off on nearly brand new cars.

Even radar and gps can be off a bit.

me driving...not my car
~140mph nissan 350 ran out of road
129mph for miles in a lexus e300, friend asked me to find out how fast it would go
125mph for many miles in my mom's accord
~125 on my bro's 1200 sporty ( had much more to it, i got scared)
me driving...my car
120 in my old '85 accord
and 112 in my '08 xB (no mods). from 90 to 100 was really strong, then slow-mo to 112.
it wouldn't come out of third gear, almost at redline, prob shitty aerodynamics held it back.

[General__Cohen*****]

Well I was going to say 1500KMH, but seeings as no planes can be include I won't. Now I guess i should tell you my story, two actually. One day I stole my Dad's car and picked up my mate. We took it to the oval near our houses and I let loose down a 150Meter street where at the point of slowdown I had hit 110KMH. Another story is I was leaving work to deliver a gigantic drill press machine in the back of a ute which isn't all that dissimilar from current car anyway I picked up the same mate and took it to 196KMH with the drill in the back. Luckily for me the stretch of road we hit was actually in the right place for my job so it's all good.(r)

I've had a Pontiac Sunfire up to ~110 MPH and that's as fast as I ever want to go (probably actually faster) in something that light with no real downforce.

hit about the same in my 05 sunflower 111MPH according to the GPS 108MPH on the speedo which just so happens to be the gov for hat car :D

[Chicken Patty]

Ah, why'd you get rid of the SRT-4, and you obviously had some goodies on it, also hows the Talon compare to it? (Pretty sure yours was a Talon, sorry if I'm wrong).

Things got tough, had it picked up by the bank. Not under my credit though, mom was going bankrupt at the time so she said "why not?"

Goodies? yes! fuel system was done, basic bolt ons like Intercooler/turbo back/intake, etc. had at first a AGP 50 Trim turbo kit, made 370 and 370 torque at 18psi on stock clutch/flywheel assembly. Tuned by me at 11.8 a/f ratio across the power band.

I then swapped turbo out for a 61mm SC61. at 28psi the car made 471whp according to a data logger. They usually do anywhere from 10-20whp extra so i estimate that on race gas with that turbo the car should have been at 445-450whp. However, very bad tune, I was having issues with having too much fuel downlow and not enough up top so my tune was all messed up to compensate for the lean spots on the power band.

The talon is a better car all around, SRT-4's are cars to have when new, now they are just garbage. I miss mine but glad I don't have it anymore. The talon is fun, just higher maintenance and more picky. But you gotta love the AWD :D

0-60 I have no clue. I don't launch the car for now, motor mounts need to be replaced and my diff mount is old already. once I replace the motor mounts and diff mounts I'll eventually give the car a launch from time to time. I however would say that it can do 60 in the mid 4's.

Must have been entertaining to get traction with that much power and FWD, too bad you had to get rid of it. What plans you got for the Talon and what turbo are you running? 18g? 20g? or maxing out the 16g?

The 50 trim spun till about 70-75mph on 225-45-17 tires. Just regular street tires. 50 trim had decent torque and quick spool. Full boost by 3100RPM's in 4th gear. However the SC61 hit full boost at about 4200RPM's, had a .82 a/r exhaust housing. That turbo since the power came in very late in actually would not spin 2nd, but 3rd up top would, funny.

The talon right now has a Small 16g. I will do the fuel system and see what i has left in it. Afterwards I have a 20G waiting here to be rebuilt and put in. I will then beef up the motor, new pistons/rods/studs/head gasket, etc. I might just get a built head from Buschur Racing or something. that and the 20G should do about 350-380whp on a conservative boost/tune level. Which is what I want for daily driver. On race gas it should easily break the 400's I hope.

[SK-1]

I'm surprised you got the 4.0L Aurora going that fast, they always seemed sluggish to me.

It has the Autobahn package option.
The Autobahn option only applies to classic Auroras (96-99) and it was a factory option that included Michelin tires with a V speed rating instead of a standard S rating, and a 3.71 trans-axle final ratio instead of the standard 3.48. These two changes allowed the engineers at Oldsmobile to increase the speed limiter from 110 mph in the non-Autobahn car up to 140-145 mph in the Autobahn equipped car. In addition to a greater maximum speed the optional transaxle ratio also gives quicker acceleration (shaves a second off 0-60 time), and poorer fuel economy:( Still, if I keep my foot out of it, I'll get 19-20 Mpg.

[Wile E]

First off....Bull shit that your 600 will do 200mph. Bull shit that your 600 was pulling hard at 150mph. I've been riding bikes for 30 years. All sorts of bikes...

You talk like a kid that wants to make somethingout to be more than what he really experienced.


That said i've done 180mph in a car and 156mph on a bike which is the bike I currently own and it has a claimed top speed of 170mph. I highly doubt it will do it though. I figure it would do 160-165 tops. My bike is a 750 and its been worked a bit.

Yeah, we get that around here a lot. But then you hear the exhaust and it sounds nothing like a SRT-4 LOL. That's one thing I loved about SRT-4's. The exhaust note is definitely unique.

Here is a 3rd gear pull when I had the SC61, please don't mind my friend talking non sense.

One of my bad runs with that setup, car improved a lot after I tweaked the tune and stuff. Read the description. If you notice it hits full boost and at the top of third the car starts to spin, you can hear it start to hit rev limiter. Car was off the scale rich.

118, nothing to feel bad about, I ended up doing 130mph on the way to put on some new tires, turns out the tires I was doing 130mph, one of them had some wires showing... That wheel had a bad wheel bearing before, so that spot wasnt making contact to the road, but still.

I could post a few pics tomorrow if you want. It's a mind blowing experience, it feels like it pulls forever. Best way to describe it is you get the sensation of falling but really you're being flung forward.

It's because my friend was working at a car shop called the guild which does special work on a variety of high end vehicles. There's a few guys who have their cars there that don't really do anything with them so they occasionally get a few of the mechanics to take them for spins because they never drive them. One guy who has a number of ferrari's is older than 90 and just has them all sitting in a garage... he doesn't even have his license he just likes to sit in them drinking wine.

The ride is a little rough, but surprisingly it's not that bad on gas... until you start putting your foot down. Just an incredible machine really. Also my car is in one of the picks, the black alero. Not nearly as impressive lol.

As promised pictures of the Ultima GTR720! Have to admit though, when I show it to my non-car friends they call it ugly and don't like it. Just don't understand :(

Last I checked, speed didn't have to be pretty. (In fact, I try to avoid pretty in all my modified cars. lol)

First off....Bull shit that your 600 will do 200mph. Bull shit that your 600 was pulling hard at 150mph. I've been riding bikes for 30 years. All sorts of bikes...

You talk like a kid that wants to make somethingout to be more than what he really experienced.


That said i've done 180mph in a car and 156mph on a bike which is the bike I currently own and it has a claimed top speed of 170mph. I highly doubt it will do it though. I figure it would do 160-165 tops. My bike is a 750 and its been worked a bit.

Ok i know i havent posted in this thread in awhile, but I just have to chime back in. Read the first post again, I never said it would actually do 200mph. And if you dont think it will do what i actually said it will do (ie 150 in 4th gear) then I guess its time to get a video up because its nowhere near bullshit. I'm 21 by the way, and I've been riding since i was 14 (street bikes that is, on the road) Obviously not 30 years like you, but plenty long to know what I'm doing. And I've ridden all sorts of bikes as well, from a 250 starter bike to a 83 750kaw to new vtwins, to crotch rockets all the way up to the 1400 kaw. So please dont demean me as if you know anything about me or my bike. I'll have a vid up as soon as I can (which might be awhile cause its facken cold)

130mph in my 73' ranchero and that's all she could give. damned modified engine. woulda had a better time with a 351 cleveland but no I wanted the 400. dang stupid kids. 17 years old and think they know everything. lol

That must have been a long time ago, but dont you mean 390?

[WhiteNoise]

I owned a car with a Super 390 back when I was in High School. It was a 64 Merc Marauder Anniversary. Red inside and out. Beautiful car. When i go home I'll look and see if I have any old pictures laying around. I don't own a scanner so I'll have to take a picture of the picture lol.

A 400 modified? If so, it is a Cleveland. All you had to do was put the 351 heads and cam in it, and made a custom spacer to put a 351C 4bbl intake on it.

I actually meant Torino instead of Gran Torino, but I do like the Starsky and Hutch car, I had Gran stuck in my mind because I just got done watching that. I don't know if those had any special models, like Cobra and such, and they were all pretty gutless, but Starsky and Hutch made them cool. Something like this, but obviously, resto mod, with some nice rims and dropped a little bit, would look flat out mean.

[Reventon]

I've gone 400mpn in a plane. But in a car, 160mph. My friend's grandfather once obtained a Ferrari F430 for a day. He was watching it for one of his his friends and he took me for a ride in it. We went out to one of the country roads and we topped out at 160mph. I must admit though, it was scary.

[Hybrid_theory]

ive been a passenger at 170km/h which is the max of any general car with a governor. So it's not thaat fast at all really. Just over 100mph. So kind a pansy, but was still a little scary when i did this 5 years ago.

[yogurt_21]

sure is the 400 modified.

hadn't thought about swapping the heads and cam for a 351c. It already has an edelbrock 4 barrel intake on it with a holley 650 double pumper carb. So yeah a cam and head swap would be nice. Pity I needa driveshaft and tranny rebuild before I cna even get it moving. lol

[flashstar]

I've gotten to around 85 in my 1993 300zx and at that speed it felt like I was going 40. Since I have the 2+2 version, it weighs 3500 lbs and is very stable at high speeds. The dash is also designed for high speeds with climate controls, lights, etc. in pods around the steering wheel.

Since my car is the non-turbo version, it's rated for a max speed of 143 mph but I think that I can get it to 130 without a problem quickly.

I don't push my car much because I am worried about police and also concerned for other people on the road.

I wouldn't want to ride a motorcycle at 150 mph but I've ridden my motorized bicycle at 30 mph and that was fun!

[ste2425]

the fastest ive ever gone is 115MPH in a 1.4i citroen xsara which i think is quite good considering its over 10 years old and 440 miles 5 days a week to just my dad to work. I still manage to burn of most boy racers so that makes me happy

[pbmaster]

Took my little Ninja to it's top on Friday, 105 MPH. I must say it felt rather stable at that speed, there was no shaking from the bike, just wind on me.

[Papahyooie]

Is it a 250? What year? My friend had a 93 i think and it felt like it was going to fall apart at 90.

[pbmaster]

Yeah it is a 250. 2005 model. This bike feels good and solid at all speeds for me

[Papahyooie]

Hm. thats the older style still too. Weird. I was afraid to ride my friends, cause it felt like you were going to fall over around turns (kinda like it was topheavy maybe like i weighed more than the bike lol) and when you got up to around 90 it felt like it was going to shimmy apart. Glad you have a better experience lol. My first bike was a 250 honda nighthawk, it would do... 65 or so lol.

[pbmaster]

Ha you were smokin! This little bike is pretty agile, and I'm still new to riding. Only bad experience other than stupid traffic...I let off the clutch too quickly while turning and the rear tire slid along on the middle paint line...that startled me lol

[Papahyooie]

Haha yea that'll happen. I can't tell you how many times I would accidentally downshift too early while stopping and squeal the back tire. Doing it while you were turning tho? Sheesh that would STILL scare me. How long have you been riding? And what are you looking at upgrading to in the future? (if anything)

Worst thing that ever happened to me was going around a corner too fast and overshooting. Went into the grass layed over and the handlebars/ pegs stuck fast in the ground and the bike stopped pretty much instantly. I kept going and hit my chest on the handlebars and did a flip and ended up with my head facing the bike. Broke a couple of ribs.

So moral of the story, dont be dumb like me, lol. Keep riding tho. I love it so much. Too cold atm tho :mad:

[pbmaster]

Yeah it is almost too cold right now...fortunately my commute isn't far. I haven't been riding long, but I'm in love with it already. I want to get a Ninja 650R next, then either a Honda CBR 600RR/Ninja ZX-6R/Ducati Monster 696

[Papahyooie]

Ah, CBR600RR... best looking bike in the world IMO. Such perfect proportions. I'd have gone for one of those instead of my gixxer if I could have found one for a good price. Nobody had any used ones that werent all dented and scratched up tho. Too many people use em for stunting.

[pbmaster]

Yeah it is one sweet bike. I hope I can find a good one when the time comes. It sucks that people would destroy such a great machine just to be cool.

[DirectorC]

I've been about 140MPH in an S2000. I wasn't driving though :(

I've had weak cars, the fastest I've driven is 120MPH in my mom's 03 Camry. That 4 cylinder is a little monster.

I remember when me and a friend had my 91 Accord 2.2L up to 130mph down hill, god that was funny.

This brings back memoriss... well some from that night anyways. I had my old 87 Accord doing 120mph down the interstate. Hit 100mph and pedal to the floor, and had to wait for the downhill spots to hit 120mph.

I also went over a speed hump with a porche boxter right before the turn-out of some bar doing 60mph. jumped and slid about 30 feet over. Was kinda cool.

[DaveK]

Fastest I've ever gone with me in control was 40KPH (25MPH) on my mountain bike, was wobbling like crazy and 1 handed at that speed was scary as fuck as the handle bars are really unstable at that speed even on a path. Both axles on the wheels are bent slightly so it gets wobbly at fast speeds, nothing like exceeding the speed limit on a mountain bike lol, I wonder can I be charged for that :P

In a car as a passenger I guess it was about 140KPH (87MPH). Got butterflies in my stomach when he floored it, despite being in a Skoda Octavia with a 110bhp engine, was still a nice sense of speed as I've never been in a car accelerating that much :)

90mph on the Pig Trail? Not bad atall, especially in a car! I love riding it on the gixxer. Where are you located polaris? Im in conway, but I used to go to school at UofO in clarksville and would go up there on my gs500 back when I had it almost every weekend. If you're near the pig trail and like scenery you might try the drive from Clarksville up through the tiny town of Ozone up in the mountains. Its absolutely stunning in the fall.

Hopefully I'll have found work by then and be out of state. Not that I don't like Arkansas it's just that I think it will be hard for me to find work in state.

I guess posting that article was misleading since it focuses on the Pig Trail, I should specify that the 90 Mph was on Hwy 62 part of the trip described in the article. I'm not brave enough to go that fast on the Pig Trail and definitely not on Hwy 7. :o I still drive the pig trail fast enough to be dangerous on occasion, I just don't have a death wish.

Commercial airliners travel at 500MPH+ does that count? On road I've been maybe 160MPH.

But nothing feels as fast as an old routemaster doing 30MPH! This thing shakes and rattles like you were travelling at warp speed inside your bathroom:

[erocker]

Yes, you must turbo. Not ifs, ands or buts.

Nobody makes a turbo kit for the v6.:(


However, Kenne Bell makes a supercharger for the Ford 3.0L. http://www.kennebell.net/superchargers/ford/30escape-tribute/30escape-tribute.htm

I'm going to give them a ring on Monday. I would actually prefer this over the turbo because I get to replace the horrid plastic intake. I just hope the price isn't to ridiculouse. I figured putting together a mild custom turbo kit would cost about two grand.

[Wile E]

You're a mech. You don't need no stinking kit. Put your own together. You should hit the junkyard, and grab 2 T03's off of a TBird Turbo Coupe, SVO Mustang, or an XR4Ti, and twin turbo it. Killer spool with those little turbos, and 2 should easily be good for around 300whp.

[erocker]

I just have to do some research on it. I don't want to put anything too large in and kill the engine, it is my only mode of transportation. I do kind of like the supercharger though.

[1Kurgan1]

I am not sure on the transmission they use in the Mazda 6, but it seems Ford/Mazda FWD vehicles have notoriously horrible transmissions, I've tossed 3 diff pins myself on Ford/Mazda trannys. But got to wonder if it's really worth those gains, the Mazda 6 V6 is a good car, fun to drive, but breaking even 300whp is going to be a chore, I would just keep it as a fun all year car and find something thats a bit easier to make go faster.

[erocker]

It uses a 5spd. manual, can't recall the part number at the moment. The trans. is quite solid. Yeah, the automatics were awful, but I think that's been changed in '08. It will be getting a new clutch whenever this takes place which most likely won't be until fall at the earliest. I'm completly satisfied with the car now, but this stuff is my 2nd hobby and my job. I've sent a couple emails off to Kenne Bell, I've used them before for some customers vehicles and they are outstanding. Torque steer is probablly going to be a concern so then I'll probablly have to look into a different differential and even then, it's still front wheel drive.

Anyways, for now I threw a K&N filter in the stock box, replacing the plugs, boots and coil springs and the upper intake gasket that goes with replacing the rear plugs (stupid design). I have a Steeda throttle body spacer on the way and a small throttle computer to get rid of the throttle lag. I'll be plenty happy through summer. :)

I also have a Ford F150 Lightning sitting in the shop waiting to get finished. It started with a leaky oil pan, now the engine is out and the engine bay is getting cleaned up.

MTX75 changed all of that. It's bulletproof, and easily handles 400whp.

And 300WHP would be easy, as long as he could add the proper fuel, about 10psi should do it. It's basically just a Duratec 3.0 after all.

The MTX75 is a better trans than the MTXIV, but I've still heard of a lot of issues with them once they start putting some decent power down, granted I'm not sure the M6 could put down as much as a Contour SVT, so just swapping the diff (which is only like $600) probably would be just fine. It's not really HP that kills the trannys, it's torque, the MTXIV starts to have issues around 300ft lbs and at 350ft lbs you can kiss diffs and 3rd gears good bye, and I'm pretty sure 350 ft lbs i starting to reach the limits of the MTX75.

Haha, i knew either there was a catch to that, or you were one crazy mofo! I can't see doing 90mph on that road. I'd shit myself, especially in a car. I might be persuaded to do it on my bike, but thats only because I'd have time to speed up to 90 then slow back down to 45 or so before hitting the curves lol.

Nope, not really. The MTX75 is a very solid trans, they don't have that many power-related issues at all. People actually swap form the Getrag 6 speed in the SVTs to MTX75's for racing, as it's such a solid trans.

And horsepower is just a function of torque and rpm. I was referring to 400whp behind a 3 liter Duratec with no problems, as his 6 is a v6, so you can extrapolate the torque from that.

I have a lot of cops where I live which makes me extremely paranoid, so I have topped at only 101mph for a very short time.:o

[Reventon]

I've gone 160mph in the passenger seat of an F430.

Country road that heads East-West. Very quite once you get about 20 miles from the city. All flat and straight.

567mph (mach .85) on a boeing 747

and hopefully i get an incentive ride on a B1B soon 830mph sounds kinda fun

other than that 155MPH in an Acura MDX SH-AWD (My uncles ride)

I'm surprised an MDX can do 155mph, that must have taken quiet a while once over 100mph.

Very intentional :D Took me about 5 minutes to get from 180 to 190 (toast)
