After about 105mph I would need my binoculars to see where you went

After about 105mph I would need my binoculars to see where you went

Had my old stock 503 BHP XFR down the strip at Santa Pod a few times.

Glacially slow over the first 60ft. If memory serves it managed a best of 12.5 at 116 MPH.

Remapped car is considerably quicker but initial traction and grip is even more of a problem than before. Once moving though...

[Raeturbo]

Took the Evo to Marham with the MLR got zero to 162mph indicated (158) actual in 26 seconds. That’s as far as I will let it rev almost 8000rpm limiter I’ve self imposed due to costly experiences .  And Done 12.01  116 mph with my old turbo on, running just 336bhp at Shakespeare strip since then I’ve fitted my own spec standard TD05 hybrid with 20g billet wheel and ported turbine area and tweaked the map, but Had to fit uprated clutch too after I put that thing on it .

 My V4 has 500hp won't do 0-60, weighs 16.5t empty, will hit 100k downhill 

[Raeturbo]

Yeah but you can put us in the back and take us with you

[BazaJT]

Can't say as I've ever done a 0-60 sprint and only once gone for "I'll see how fast I dare take it" and bottled it before getting near to the cars top speed!

Driving a tractor unit solo is always good fun though!

Speed is all in the mind. 100mph on my Velocette Venom in 1959 seemed jolly fast. Forty years later,155moh in my Senator was boring.

I used to attend hill climbs and sprint meetings in the 1960s. Competitors would turn up with racing cars, or home built specials, on trailers, and set fastest time of day every time. Then one year some guy turned up on a big Japanese motorcycle. After removing his wife from the pillion seat, he rode it down the track and easily set FTD, and a new track record.

 O yes, the Dutch man was better solo, than this Swedish meatball,  the Dutch man was more predictable,  and  was told it's not meant to do that, don't do it again,, Management saw me Whoops. Been good since then

About 30yrs ago I worked in a scrap yard where we recycled scrap electrical cables and associated materials.At one time we had 4 transformers[90 tons apiece]delivered over a period of weeks.When the first one arrived on the back of an articulated unit-the bed of the trailer was near the floor down between the wheels-we got talking to the driver and he said it'd taken them about 4 days at something like 4mph to get to us but as the police escort they'd had for the journey had departed the truck would get him home again a damn sight quicker!

[New POD]

I drive a 3.2 MV6 daily.
I've had it since Oct 2016 and bought it with 163K on the clock for £525.
It will hit 230K tomorrow.
I am hoping to keep it as my daily driver for at least 5 years and another 100K.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

If looked after theres no reason (other than bad luck) it shouldn't be up to that job.

Once on an Autobahn I took a Volvo 960 up to 142 ish (MPH not KPH) mainly to scare the shit out of the passenger. I did bottle it and backed off. Not sure there was much left. Never felt an urge to do it again.

[Rangie]

Fastest I've ever driven was in my late father in law's Aston Martin back in the late seventies around 125/130 MPH amazing how quickly you seem to run out of road at that speed.

[Keith ABS]

 Had the Monaro into three figures three times. Last one was 120 without realising it was there
