top speed

[Baldy]

Orange.
I've read it somewhere as well...

It deffo stops, because the car keeps going!

heh mines green

i'm sure that if you calculate mph per 1000 revs on a ur it equates to about 22.5mph/1000

and as the UR rev counter just flashes all the segments once it get to 6200rpm so dont know how may rev its was at but i'm not sure my engine was revving to 7200
which is what it would take to do that speed in top.

I did my car on the M20 about midday. I've had my bike to the rev limit in top (1000RR) racing a Porker 997 - did J11 M23 to J4 M25 (home outside my garage door in Orpington) in 16 minutes - av speed 163Mph. (11:30pm on a Bank Hol Monday last year)

Best race I ever had *bliss*

If yours is green then its a 10valve?
Mine never revved that high,hit the limiter. 20valve has higher limiter.
I wonder what speed a green dash stops at?
Green dash has two settings for rev counter, 1 has two little lines going up, 2nd fills the space behind it, I think the first one is the most accurate.

mines an 87WR with rs2 spec ABY 20v in it and got the rev clock set in needle mode which is the 1that your on about .I hate the normal one that looks like a VU meter on an old stereo. I havent topped the speedo out yet

[AUDI9020V]

trust me a 90 20v 7a does 147mph.and a 7a thats had a mod will do alot more i had one in front of me pull away as i was doin 130 like i was stood still

[AUDI9020V]

ok the speedo is a bit out by 6% ish

[tom]

235 km/h in my Audi 80 V6 205/60/15
270 km/h in my standard S2 Coupe ABY 225/40/18
305 km/h in (not mine) Porsche 911 Turbo S, but there was too crowdy to go for more, 300 reached impressively fast
all readings from speedo

Hmm, odd. Max I've been in a very healthy Coupe quattro 20V is 138mph in Germany last year. That was over an 8 mile stretch, and that WAS flat out, without having to slow down at all!

That does tie in with the max quoted in my instruction manual - 220km/h max. 147mph from a 7A car is bordering on Avant S2 max of 150mph - 90 quattro 20V IS lighter, but there's still a 60PS difference.

I'd say the 7A speedo must have been out of calliberation a fair bit...

[Jas11n]

Sorry John, gotta agree with Delta. 147mph minus 6% error for speedo being out of whack at the top end, gives around 138mph. Book speed.
And four people? two tiny kids hardly contribute to being "four up"

[HPmuirt]

Well I still win for highest speeding conviction

Let's just say the 2.8 Coupe can out do AUDI9020V's 20V 90, according to an unmarked Plodmobile with a camera So I can **** highest and the wall looks wet enough

Spooky, I nearly wrote "where's Si with his Saturn V 2.8cq"

I've had 70mph out of mine, I never speed

Here I am and there I went....I was described as the red blur in the outside lane by the copper who replayed the video tape taken from his front mounted camera.

The actual sentence went something like....'You can see my speed, as indicated in the lower right corner of the screen, is currently passing 86MPH as I accelerate to intercept you, now if you wait you will see......that red blur was you passing me like I was going backwards. How do you plead?'

It's all very well having proof that your car is fast and having it on video is fabulous, but let's just say that there must be cheaper ways of getting said proof

Like Jas, I now own an S2 which cannot exceed 70MPH

Cheers n tears

I managed just over 150mph on the speedo in my cq20v on a slight downhll, but there was nothing left.

I don't like the feel of the S2 at over 160. The rear seems to feel a bit floaty, like the rear spoiler isn't big enough.
IIRC Doug got >170 in his S2, and the rear wiper started lifting and tapping on the window.

200mph....?

So, am I the only guy here who claims to have gone over a genuine 200 MPH? (I think thats about 321 KMH)
That is GPS not speedo...
Incidentally, a mate was behind, with his wife on the back, he got to an indicated 190 MPH in hot pursuit...........(ZX-12) wouldn't want to have been her for all the tea in China...!
I was fortunate enough to not get this as the highest speed attained for a conviction, as I said, I bottled it at 206 MPH, it is geared to do 240 ish...but it was still pulling, although I reckon a gust of side wind and I would have changed 3 lanes...!

I've been over 600mph.
As a passenger, in a plane.
