My personal top speed

Car, bike, motorcycle whatever as long as you where on the controls!! (airplane passengers do not count :-D) Don't forget mph/kph (1 mph ~= 1,6kph) MY PERSONAL TOP SPEED: 196 kph (or 197 ;)) MEDIUM: Car: Audi A3 (it was the max speed :(( "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix

I've had my little Fiat Seicento up to 100mph (160kph)... ...it didn't like it... ...neither did I -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Phoenix Paint - back from DPaint's ashes!

It was one of the first A3's in the garage. It had 101 horses :). (it was my mother's :-D) So new ones, or ones with more horses would do better I should think... Now I'm driving peugeot 206, at 174pkh it gets a bit scary :((. "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix

I co-piloted a Cessna when I was about 7 (and took control for a few scary minutes) That has a cruising speed of about 125mph (200kph) - so faster when it's diving in the hands of a 7 year old who doesn't know what he's doing! -- Help me!

I'd say somewhere in the 160/170kph range in an old Chevy Impala. It was a bucket of #^$^$@^!, but it had a 350 in it, what can I say? We were never really into the speed thing, more into going out to the country roads and doing Dukes of Hazzard type manuevers and jumps. (Yes, I've had all 4 wheels off the ground in a car, complete with the Bo Duke scream) Our fun ended one night when we tried one of those Duke-boy classic "jam the breaks and crank the wheel hard" slide. Not enough gravel to perform the slide, (it was dark) and we went head first into the ditch. No more games after that.
:cool: Pssst. You see that little light on your monitor? That's actually a government installed spy camera. Smile and wave to big brother!

Car; 180kph in my little 1.3litre Tazz going downhill with a stiff wind behind me. Powerboat; 60mph and holy crap does it feel faster than that. Any speed on water feels a whole lot more than on land.

Around 185-190 km/h on a Honda VFR motorcycle. I don't know the exact speed, I was afraid to take my eyes off the road to look how fast I was going - just blinking your eyes at that speed feels scary already :wtf: And then I saw that there were cameras on the road I was driving, so I had to hit the brakes. I think the cameras weren't operational, otherwise it would have been 'bye-bye drivers license'.

About 250 kph (over 155mph) on my daytona (triumph motorcycle) On a normal UK A road. The speed limit for the road was 96 kph or 60 mph as we like to say in the UK so it was a bit naughty. to be honest once you get over 100mph things get really scary so i wont be doing that again. Jon ;P

Hit the 200kph mark in Germany with my 1990 Golf GL 10-11 years ago. (The last 30kph took time, a downhill road and a breeze in the right direction...) Tried to top that last year with another car, but my girlfriend stopped me at 180. (Well, maybe that was fast enough...)

My typical crusing speed in germany is about 220 km/h. However sometimes I drive at my cars top speed which is 250 km/h (Its electronically limited :-( ) I also do gliding since more than 15 years and I fly sometimes a 'FOX' which is an aerobatic sailplane for some fun. There is my top speed about 300km/h IAS (Indicated Air Speed) bb |~ bb

This summer I had my Fuji[^] racing bike up to 63 kph. Trust me, that was scarier than when I drove an F2000 car at 180 kph. And I regularly drive my '92 Jetta diesel at around 120 kph. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian.

200 what cows/horses/sheep ?;) no I mean mph or kph? [EDIT]mmm to think of it, mph would be a bit fast I think (320kph ?? seems a bit much)[/EDIT] "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix
If he managed 200mph in a BMW 323 2.7l he'd be on the cover of AutoCar and BMW Williams would be looking to hire him to tune their F1 cars :-D ProfK is a Saffa and we use kph here, so more than likely 200kph. regards, Paul Watson South Africa Michael Dunn wrote: "except the sod who voted this a 1, NO SOUP FOR YOU" Crikey! ain't life grand?
