    following on from this news thread http://tehbasement.com/showthread.ph...859#post122859 whats the fastest you've been in a car or bike on a track or public road

    mine i think was about
    170 mph (which i think is 273kph ) on a track
    140mph (225kph) on a public road

    oh and i've hit a solid steel race wall at 60mph

    I've never been out on a track before, but the fastest I probably have been is somewhere around 120 mph (give or take) in a buddy's Nova back in high school

    car.... I'm not sure cos the speedo only went to to 150mph but taking wheel size, engine speed and gear ratios, I think it worked out at about 160 actual mph not speedo indicated

    motorbike.... I can't remember, but it was at least 100mph

    pushbike.... on the flat 29mph downhill 37mph

    and all those speeds were scary as fuck

    How about falling off a jetski doing 74mph? That hurt, did cartwheels across the surface for like 15 feet before I fell into the water.

    Motorcycle 137 on suzuki gsx r1000

    Car was roughly 110 in 89 3.1L camero

    Snowmobile was over 80, didn't have the balls to look down after the first time

    And last was 4x4, Raptor 700R, which I maxed at 85mph.

    115mph on a freeway in England in a Ford Mondeo. I love English roads! You could never, ever get away with that in Australia.
    Thanks Jezter!

    errm, you cant strickly get away with it here either

    for me -

    Car
    Me driving = 140mph before i bottled it, was beginning to rain and the car was on semislicks

    Passenger ride = 180mph (sat nav readout) in a heavily modified sierra cosworth. (gotta love a dead M4 motorway at 3am )

    Not done a track but on a few rallies ive been passenger/co driver to a max of 150/160mph in a wrc Impreza, that was fuggin scary too, feeling the car 4wheel shift over the muddy stage. anything over 70mph in a RWD car on gravel is sphynctertighteneing

    Bike – only done 110mph. Was one of them times you do it without realising, jumped on my mates Yamaha R1 to have a quick blast. I’ve not got a great record on bikes so decided that was good enough for me before i spilled it!
