I'd assume citizen. Are you allowed to own a car when stationed in Germany? I bet that's a silly question. And why are so many soldiers stationed in Germany anyways? I bet that's another silly question.I don't know. There shouldn't be though. Are there any Deutsch bases in America??? NO!!! Dieses ist unser Land... Nehmen Ihre Gewehren und Flächen und geht!!!! oh wait, I live in America, ooops! lol

162-163ish in a Ford GT at a Ford Ride and Drive day for SAE members, it was pretty fun.

Damn.. 163 mph is pretty fast!

@mopar, yes, you're a woman. :D
I'd love to be able to do 90 mph on a mountainbike at least once in my life. Going to sell the bike though in exchange for parts for the FC

Uh, I thought it'd be obvious that it wasn't an actual bike when I said words like "throttle" and "tach at 10,000rpm". I took my motorcycle to 90, not a mountian bike.

130 mph in a civic because it revved up at redline and refused to go any faster (this was on a 60mph road)

What mods did you do to your civic to have it running that fast?

Once did 160 mph in a heavily modded beetle (1300 with porsche 3.6litre biturbo) Scary like hell

Did 170 mph in an '86 opel ascona with an opel calibra 2.0 litre engine and the old gearbox geared for slow revving engines @6700+ rpm. (meter would stick at 5500 and started redlining at 4750 due to the old engine)Thing won't corner though.

Managed to drive 135mph in the FC3S so far but haven't really had the car for a long time and haven't taken it to a track yet.
When all goes as planned I'll be mounting the FMIC and BOV this month and be able to increase power to 240 HP.
After that I'll be taking it to a track where I can top out on the speed (nordschleife, nurnburgring)

(67 mph on a mountainbike)
10 pounds of boost and alot off fuel and it took a minute.

158mph in my Mustang GT.

Uh, I thought it'd be obvious that it wasn't an actual bike when I said words like "throttle" and "tach at 10,000rpm". I took my motorcycle to 90, not a mountian bike.

yep, read those and figured out it'd be a bike with an engine instead of one without.
Still I'd love to do 90 on a bike without engine.

@149149
You'd probably changed the speedo as well as it normally only goes to 220km/h / 125 mph right?

Still I'd love to do 90 on a bike without engine.


That'd be absolutely insane. You'd have to have some serious brakes to stop.

Who wants to stop

That'd be absolutely insane. You'd have to have some serious brakes to stop.

Not braking you'd go fast longer. :cool:

As said, managed to do 67 mph on a bike already with a non-suspension bike, direct pull brakes (bit better then old fashioned 0-tech brakes but worse then disc brakes) and sunglasses as only means of protective gear (I had a rubber in my wallet, does that count?)

Anyways, managed to brake the bike to 0mph in under 100meters :)

Also once managed to fry a bycicle disc brakes completely @ 55mph.
They ended up so terribly discoloured and warped that the wheels would refuse to spin as a result.

in modded mitsubishi 3kgt... in a 45 mph. zone none the less... and 138 in an eagle talon

You wanna know whats scary? 115 in a 20,000 pound Peterbilt! lol

i got a revision...

120 in my V6 stang

[163] in modded mitsubishi 3kgt... in a 45 mph. zone none the less... and 138 in an eagle talon

At first I was sure this guy was kidding...

100 in the 'Lude down a local empty airstrip. Not the fastest I've been, but... I think the fastest I've driven.

^ Punk....

Haha, yeah.. I know. It was loud all the way to 7,000 RPM.

the fastest ive ever been in a car is around 140 mph in a friends porsche and also in a prelude (very moded) and we were cut of by some old lady while still accelertaing but today i was goin about 85 mph and umm almost got pulled over scary as all hell the cop stalked us for about a mile and we pulled over and asked him why he was following us

170 in a 360 modena
165 in an Acura Nsx
160 Madza RX7
145 Corvette C5
85 Chevy Cavalier

130mph A4 3.0

well

260 kmh on a two lane highway going through idaho in a 2000 glx jetta VR6 with turbo mods

225 kmh on a two lane highway in British Columbia in a 1982 2.0 L 8V scirocco with all the mods you can find except turbos.

150 mph in my 97' Z28 going down the highway messing with a F150 Lightning.

110-115 mph in a 1970 GMC 1500 with a 350 motor on a two lane highway passing a transport.
Gagues are not very good at telling top end speed.
100 mph in an 01 Grand Prix

Welcome to SCF, Blue Storm.

New top speed for me! (I don't know if that counts...)
125kp/h in my friend's kart...

Thank You,

That your white 4Runner?

Good eye, it's a more of a silver
yea it's my parents

Just got it recently
Limted V-8

.....
160 Madza RX7
....

That's 10mph over stock top speed. Seen that most cars don't make that top speed but stick at 140mph I take it the RX7 was not stock. Any ideas on the mods for that RX7?

I have done 155 Km/h in my Golf III but it wasn't the top speed cause a car was passing me...so I had to brake hard!!

:driving

I just ran a tricked out Raptor 700 to top speed. I have no idea how fast that was but god damn it was fun!!! lol That was enough to make me want to go buy one!

They look like fun, those raptors.
I work close to a motorshop and they have one on sale.

It's a driving death trap though. I think I'd get me killed faster then I'd like to at the moment.

That was the scariest thing I've done in a while!

not fastest but 91 yesterday in the cayenne....

65 mph in my driving instructors car !

I took our new truck out today and pushed it to about 100... At a hundred the train horns aren't very loud!! At least not in the cab! lol

Can confirm that.
Had a LaRo defender 110 a few years back.
It didn't make 100mph (top would be about 80 mph or so) but when driving over 50 mph I couldn't even hear the car audio due to the aerodynamic 'qualities' of the moving brick.

This is a Kenworth T600... it's a bit bigger than a Defender! lol But I know what you mean about the wonderful brick aerodynamics

That indeed is a bit bigger and maybe even better (in being worse) on the aerodynamics front.

the fastest i have gone in a car is 183 mph. in my old twin turbo 300zx. but i have gone 208 mph on a honda rc-51. dude omg street bikes rule.

wow, not possible. thanks for stopping by.

About 500-600 in a airplane.
I wasn't driving.
About 110Km/h in a Lexus IS200
The fastest I'v driven would be around 50-69Km/h in a go-cart.
Apparntly thats how fast theses ones were ment to go down the stright.
It was fun as hell.

wow, not possible. thanks for stopping by.


ok... and you know this how? you dont know me and you dont know my cars. so please enlighten me to as of how you know how fast they go. because last time i checked i was the one driving. by the way what do you drive. and how fast have you driven.

ok... and you know this how? you dont know me and you dont know my cars. so please enlighten me to as of how you know how fast they go. because last time i checked i was the one driving. by the way what do you drive. and how fast have you driven.

Last time I checked, 300ZX's could not go 294km/h. So what mods did the car have?

& the RC51's top speed is 170mp/h so what mods did that have to push it to 208miles per hour?

the fastest i have gone in a car is 183 mph. in my old twin turbo 300zx. but i have gone 208 mph on a honda rc-51. dude omg street bikes rule.

You're in Vacaville, about an hour from me. Interesting.

RC51 at 208mph? Grow up. Nobody here wants to hear your lies. Twin Turbo 300ZX @ 183? Grow up.

No need for lies to be "cool".

I have done 145ish(20 year old speedo) any more and I start losing engine pieces, such as valves, connecting rods, rocker arms, lifters, ignition.. Then tires, the driveshaft starts to vibrate and umm yeah It would be real fun to lose a u joint or have the transmission/rear end cease...

the fastest i have gone in a car is 183 mph. in my old twin turbo 300zx. but i have gone 208 mph on a honda rc-51. dude omg street bikes rule.

come back to reality, up there goes gravity, cd ratings and the beat goes on, dada dada.. Its now off the ground and that steering wheel you better never let it go.. Cause you only get one shot when your tires blow, and oppurtunity knocks once in a life time.. movin' it!

ok... and you know this how? you dont know me and you dont know my cars. so please enlighten me to as of how you know how fast they go. because last time i checked i was the one driving. by the way what do you drive. and how fast have you driven.


How modded was the 300ZX? If it was heavily, then I believe you.

They'll do about 160 stock...so it's not *that* tough to believe. The tires are also something you'd have to make sure didn't just burst because of the speed.

What was the rating on them?

The bike though, I doubt, partially because you'd need miles of road to hit that, and it'd have to be glass smooth. Further more, while those limiters on most bikes can come off, only one person's been officially clocked at 200+ on a bike. And it was 205.

And he said that was all it had to go.

ok... and you know this how? you dont know me and you dont know my cars. so please enlighten me to as of how you know how fast they go. because last time i checked i was the one driving. by the way what do you drive. and how fast have you driven.

Hahahahahahahahaha..


Yes, I know that a Z can pull 160. I've been there. Its scary as hell. The car doesn't seem like it can pull it off, but sure enough it does.

I'm sure you just added some power right? 400hp got you up to 180mph?

I have NEVER seen a 300ZX do 180mph. The way you talk and carry yourself, it doesn't seem like you would be the person to do it.

ok... and you know this how? you dont know me and you dont know my cars. so please enlighten me to as of how you know how fast they go. because last time i checked i was the one driving. by the way what do you drive. and how fast have you driven.
You could say you took it 140mph, and I'd believe you. That's achievable.
Realistically, 180mph is not.
I knew a member who had a VERY heavily modded 300ZX TT, and he could just reach over 160mph.

ok... and you know this how? you dont know me and you dont know my cars. so please enlighten me to as of how you know how fast they go. because last time i checked i was the one driving. by the way what do you drive. and how fast have you driven.


Its the way you carry yourself. Browse back through this thread if you want to know what I do/drive or whatever.

HHAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAA!... THAT'S SOME FUNNY STUFF... THAT **** EATING CAT AND THE 200+ ON THE BIKE... the hyabusa is one of the most impressively fast bikes made and it barely brakes 200... what a dork... just stop posting

High grade road tires arent rated for more than 110, but they have a 10-20% safety factor built in so they will probably handle about 130-ish.

You would have to buy racing/high performance tires to do much over 130 without having a blowout, and a blowout at 130+ = death.

If you want to check if someone is a liar, have them post a pic of their tires on their car.

Wrong, the tires are speed rated.. H is the minimum legal in the USA during the summer, discounting snow tires..

Grade A tires are the highest end, non-specialty tires you can buy.
Most people buy B grade.

I dont really understand your post, tires are speed rated...

I have never heard of grade a or grade b.. i go by speed ratings..

HR,VR,ZR,WR,YR,(no rating) R

If you want to check if someone is a liar, have them post a pic of their tires on their car.First of all thats pretty much all wrong... even cheap passenger tires come in HR and VR ratings (130 and 150). Second... I've blown a tire at over 140. If the car's set up and balanced properly you can blow a tire at 200 and be alright. It all depends on the car...


Grade A tires are the highest end, non-specialty tires you can buy.
Most people buy B grade.

I dont really understand your post, tires are speed rated...A, B, & C ratings are used for heat and traction... A is not always best.

S................ 180km/h or 112mph
T................ 190km/h or 118mph
U................ 200km/h or 125mph
H................ 210km/h or 130mph
V................ 240km/h or 149mph
W(ZR).......... 270km/h or 168mph
Y(ZR)........... 300km/h or 186mph
ZR............... Above 300km/h or 186mph

I have ZRs on the 'Lude. Don't ask why, I didn't buy them.


PS - I like ur sig Monkey.. lol

no ZR's are 150+ they were once thought to be the best.. (no rating)R is the best

Those are directly from Kumho.. so, argue all ya want. I have a source.

*stick tongue out*

http://www.nittotire.com/tech_speedrating.asp
Trust me my Goodyear P245/50 ZR-16's from the 80's are not doing 186+mph.

Early tires had their speed rating symbol shown "within" the tire size, such as 225/50SR16. Tires using this type of branding were not to have been produced after 1991.

225/50SR16 112 mph, 180 km/h
225/50HR16 130, 210 km/h
225/50VR16 in excess of 130 mph, 210 km/h


Beginning in 1991, the speed symbol denoting a fixed maximum speed capability of new tires must be shown only in the speed rating portion of the tire's service description, such as 225/50R16 89S. The most common tire speed rating symbols, maximum speeds and typical applications are shown below:

M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans & Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars


When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to reflect the highest tire speed rating that would ever be required, in excess of 240 km/h or 149 mph. While Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds in excess of 149 mph, how far above 149 mph was not identified. That ultimately caused the automotive industry to add W- and Y-speed ratings to identify the tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high top-speed capabilities.

W 168 mph 270 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
Y 186 mph 300 km/h Exotic Sports Cars


While a Z-speed rating still often appears in the tire size designation of these tires, such as 225/50ZR16 91W, the Z in the size signifies a maximum speed capability in excess of 149 mph, 240 km/h; the W in the service description indicates the tire's 168 mph, 270 km/h maximum speed.

225/50ZR16 in excess of 149 mph, 240 km/h
205/45ZR17 88W 168 mph, 270 km/h
285/35ZR19 99Y 186 mph, 300 km/h


Most recently, when the Y-speed rating indicated in a service description is enclosed in parentheses, such as 285/35ZR19 (99Y), the top speed of the tire has been tested in excess of 186 mph, 300 km/h indicated by the service description as shown below:

285/35ZR19 99Y 186 mph, 300 km/h
285/35ZR19 (99Y) in excess of 186 mph, 300 km/h


As vehicles have increased their top speeds into Autobahn-only ranges, the tire speed ratings have evolved to better identify the tires capability, allowing drivers to match the speed of their tires with the top speed of their vehicle.

Everything you need to know.. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tiretech.jsp

No one can take the Roc

jesus you lot are crazy. i've done 210 (kph) in my old man's car, on a freeway, at the middle of the night. im so hardcore ^_^

I've done 140 riding in a subway.....

heheh I've done max 100 on a subway :( slow eh?

I did maybe....110-115 in the Deville last night...

i was putting a G35 through it's paces on the freeway...I was cracking up..so was my buddy...and so was the G35 driver

A new personal record for myself, my old one was 153 and today I hit 161!!! What an adrenaline rush!!!!:D

done 130mph in a 2002 Dodge Durango R/T

^Safe,,,,,,

wasn't gonna' let a civic beat me.

racing a durango, I dont feel safe in my durango @ 70-80mph.. Your nutz

u say "nutz" like it's a bad thing.

yeah, I just dont race stock sport utility vehicles

you have more sense then me i guess

it's half sense..half balz..

well actually..it's nonsense.......

Hey, I've done 100,000,000 MPH in my Honda Civic!

I did 0 in my truck just now! The air lines froze up and the damn thing won't move! lol

^ Damn that's fast!

^ Damn that's fast!I was gonna go home but I guess I'm not leaving for a few hours! lol

it's half sense..half balz..

well actually..it's nonsense.......


Ballz isn't the word a trucks, torque and control arms aren;t designed to handle that let alone spring rates and exploding tires.

what are you going on about..

A minivan/suv is DESIGNED for high speed salf flat runs...ah duuuh

Its time to go get in my durango and see just how fast those tires with air leaks in them can go

not to be an ass or anything but like i have said before you do not know what i had on the 300 zx. now... to clarify everything you are doubting about me bringing my 300 zx to 183 mph i will give you a near exact list of everything i had on the car.

k&n cold air intake, JET ecu upgrade, ACT stage 2 clutch: with modified disc and heavy duty pressure plate, grex 90mm pistons, grex head gaskets, greddy connecting rods, complete HKS exaust system, greddy timing belt, VENOM superflow injectors, VENOM fuel pump, suspension techniques sway bars, TEIN type- flex coilovers, HKS T51R turbo chargers, HKS blow off valve, HKS racing wastegate, HKS intercooler, HKS evc v boost controller, HKS type-1 turbo timer, VENOM VCN 2000 nitrous system- 75 shot, brembo brakes, demon 2 body kit, techno-r carbon fiber hood w/ carbon fiber type- zoom front scoop, carbon fiber invader sopoiler, enkei rpm2 18in. rims w/ yokohama tires, and to top it all off i had a vertical door kit from grounddynamics.com

and someone said that its impossible to go that fast in a zx. well... nothing is imposible. and twin turbo 300 zx's will do 160 stock. so. weather any one believes or not is their opinon. but it is possible. nad with the rc-51 all you need to do is remove the govener and it'll do 200.

Thats more belivibal (spelling) now.

Now your story is a little more believeable.

Ok, now I might belive you.

well. at least some one believes

Alright, last night me and my parents were at my friends house (it's 3 blocks away from my house) so we left at almost midnight and then I am the one who drove my mom's ML500 to get home. That was my very first time I drove a car around the subdivision. My speed was 27 mph. It was kind of scary that a cop might pull over and see an underage person driving.

Note: I don't have a driver's pernit or a liscense.

^^^^^
You're a renegade.

I've done 110 in a '97 Malibu. It was limited so when I hit 110 it bucked back something wicked.

I don't believe **** he's saying...

Reason? he's running a VG30DETT.....With Twin T51R's....

If anyone here knows T51R's they know they are ***kin

monsterous....And Supra's can run a SINGLE t51R and make 1000WHP

there is no way in Gods green earth you could even FIT those under your cramped engine bay...let alone spool them with the limited mods you had...

maybe if you had some sort of 3.2L Stroker kit that I don't know about yet...you might get them spooled at redline..but that's about it

If you people don't believe me...Here's a nice little comparison between relatively modest HKS turbocharger ....and the T51R(which by the way the Exvitermini skyline run's a SINGLE T51R)
http://image-cache.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost/data/500/8081turbo.jpg


Now here's a pic of the engine bay of a 300ZX

http://derek.delconte.org/z/images/engine_bay.jpg


yeah... a + B does not = C here folks

Yeah, well and more power doesn't give you a higher top speed. Gearing does. I could add a T5IR to the Lude and it would make a damn difference, I would still redline at about 130.

Ok, thatnks to Driftster, I completely change my opinion. You are an idiot, dark pyro-M3.



You got owned by Driftster.

http://derek.delconte.org/z/images/engine_bay.jpg


yeah... a + B does not = C here folks

Now I now jack **** about the size of the turbo or the car but I was about to ask how he brought up redline

Yeah, well Drift has a good point. TTs are really hard to work on because there is such limited space. A T5IR would probably not fit.. its waaay too big. And in any case, you would have to get a new tranny for the TT to get it up to 180, and.. trannys are really hard to find. I think you might be able to get a six-speed sequential from Japan but its extremely hard to find and really expensive. Plus I think its geared for drag racing.

dp-m3, do you have pics of your engine, cus one the off chance you do have twin t51r's, i would like to see how they fit.

You wouldn't be able to see them even if they did fit..Reason? the turbo's on a 300zx are mounted so low for clearance issues. Which is why all the drag 300zx's have "remote" mounted turbo...i don't mean far away...but they have them mounted in the front of the car, like outlaw class mustangs.....

I mean..You have to remove the turbomanifolds to change the spark plugs in that car..

it is NOT space friendly..it's a GREAT engine..and a GREAT car..but this guy is just lying..

Yeah.. I wish TTB was still here to testify. Zs can be a b*tch to work on because it's so tight.

did not know that, i'll use that for future referance.

maybe if you had some sort of 3.2L Stroker kit that I don't know about yet

Yeah, I have that. I'm surprised you haven't heard about it. I'm still waiting on the T51Rs that I purchased on Amazon though...:(


yeah... a + B does not = C here folks

Use this "≠" next time. It looks cleaner.

Well sticking with the forum thread the fastest i have gone in my 00 VW GTI VR6 is about 137, i keep tryin to get it to 140 but i think it just doesn't have enough power to cope with the wind resistance against it.

MOTHER OF GOD!
That turbo is bigger than my head!
