230kp/h-250kph in the turbo prelude on gravel. No speedo, that's just what the gear ratio works out at with the tyres I had on at the top of 5th gear. Didn't hit limiter but I was really close so in that range. It was actually quieter and less torque steery at that speed to, anything up to 4th gear it was just a pig.

So imagine if instead of a honda I drove an automatic L67 holden PHWAAAR

Est 220-230kmh in my old RX7 with a 300hp 13B monster J port, it could pass my mates Mazda GTX turbo while he was cutting out on the 180kmh limmiter and I would be changing into 4th gear, and the RX7 had a 5 speed box. This was on Goudies Rd in the centeral North island, where they hold the land speed record, I lived in the area at the time, our mates would wait at each end of the Rd and phone up if someone was comming.After 210kmh tho the 7 got a real scary high frequency vibration that went through from the front of the car to the back so I only did it a few times. This was back in my teenage young and dumb days I had basically no money and all up the car would have cost me about 6 grand in bank loans after all the mods, it used aprox 1 litre per 1km in gas if you drove it hard but then it was only $1 a litre. At 100kmh on a dry Rd you could drop from 5th gear to 3rd and floor it and the back end would light up and step out and thats with a LSDiff, I wish I didnt sell it but if I hadnt it would have been the death of me.

280 kphV8 super car Calder Parkex Perkins Holden

morrisman1, Nov 12, 7:14pm
the fastest I dont know, because the car didn't have a speedo. It was the ralston sheetmetal silvia but I know a VX Calais v6 supercharged would have been faster

my old T bucket, went around a twin turbo skyline at top end on western motorway, he reckoned he was doing 280, I stopped looking at my speedo long before that & last time I looked at revcounter I was at 6500, calculated later (without slip etc) to just over 310. Been on a mates worked Ninja was reading 320 but bike speedos are know to be very optimistic

I was a passenger in a 1990 Mitsi VR4 Evo, just over 200km/h. Its acceleration was more impressive to me than its top speed.

bellky, Nov 12, 8:01pm
yeah. go the sev.

me - 200kph in my eb xr8 on northern motorway, 4-up, slightly uphill, could have gone faster but.

trogedon, Nov 12, 8:08pm
190kph on my Kawasaki GPX750R (if we're allowed bikes). More fun on a bike is aiming to double posted speed limits on corners.

270k's yesturday on the back straight of pukekohe in a v8 supercar. fricken awesome!

Passenger in a BMW back in 1988 - 220kph on highway 27 (Matamata).He was the boss of 'Jag' clothing and drove very well.

90mph as a passenger in a bored out Triumph TR2 back in about 1964 was impressive.

Driving my boss's 1973 Aston Martin back from its 3000 mile service,(straight 6 Vantage) and at 70mph on the M1 motorway, briefly planting my right foot and it rocketed straight to 120mph when I chickened out as the fuel gauge was moving too fast for my wallet.

MG Montego Turbo 180kph but decided it was too dangerous at that speed on a narrow Franklin public road.

117mph (on radar) in the Marcos at Pukekohe heading towards the hairpin.

270 km/h (passenger) F40 replica back straight at Puke, 230 Km/h on gsx1100R on the motorway (then promptly gave it back) and 230 km/h on the autobahn in a BMW.

ontwowheels, Nov 12, 9:10pm
220kmh, 3L VL, walky kit. stuck to the road well. (I was passenger)
230-240 S4 RX7 I was driver. Will not say where :-)

bitchwitattitud, Nov 12, 9:25pm
Old Honda CBR400RR, needle past 180km 4th gear. By the time I sat up to start slowing down was pulling 14 grand rpm in 6th, hard to tell what speed but would have to be at least 220 up. Scary as hell but the tunnel vision you get once you hunch down over the fuel tank is fantastic!

flashgordon_nz, Nov 12, 9:28pm
ae86 rally car. in gravel trim, top speed was 228 kph on the shift light. after an engine rebuild and tickle up, we did a taupo gravel rally to dial ourselves back in, and hit the shift light in 5th quite often. on gravel.

dalsouthern, Nov 12, 9:34pm
