In 1965, 110 in my sister's 1965 GTO convertible (Marina blue/white interior). Wow.

Ringmeister · 04-10-2008, 09:11 PM

198mph. Autobahn 2004 GT3.

knightps · 04-10-2008, 09:18 PM

130 in my B5 S4. More a fan of acceleration than top speed.

This is not limited to how fast you have taken you 1er; however you can state that also. Any vehicle applies.

My personal top speed is 185 on my Kawasaki Ninja on a stretch of desert freeway in Arizona. I have taken my 135i up to 145mph on an open stretch.

*Disclaimer* Please do not ruin this poll by talking about how unsafe, retarded, immature, etc etc it is to travel at any speed above the posted limit.

My stage 3 S4 will hit 160mph at redline in 5th gear within a very short distance, maybe a mile or so. I didn't have the nerve to shift to 6th.. and won't try it again in any car.

mach 3 turbo, gillete though

UR2SLOW1 · 04-10-2008, 09:33 PM

110MPH in the 135i already and never shifted out of 6th gear - justed rolled on the throttle.

165MPH in the NSX on a 7.5 mile oval test track with 2.5 mile straights unbanked - but only 5 laps.

Berduderunner · 04-10-2008, 09:50 PM

raisemyrent · 04-10-2008, 10:12 PM

110 on my jetta on a LONG stretch of clear, bright, highway... stupid governors.

ARES45 · 04-10-2008, 10:18 PM

115mph in the regal, 100mph in the 135, 130 knots in the glorified news copter which is VNE.

mtla4 · 04-11-2008, 09:10 AM

about 188(300km/h) on bikes, 191(305km/h) in a car

ichiban · 04-11-2008, 12:02 PM

157

kbimmer135i · 04-11-2008, 12:47 PM

135 in my 2002 323Ci.

colonel1961 · 04-11-2008, 02:41 PM

Couldn't stand it. A slight increase for one car and a 128i Cv report...

165+ Ferrari F355B forty-five minutes ago on I-565.
115+ BMW 128i Cv twenty minutes ago on I-565.

A front is about to come through, so it started to get a little bit windy. That's as fast as I chose to push them today. And will only attempt to increase the 128i top-end after the 1,200 mi. mark.

:wink:

natedog_1959 · 04-11-2008, 03:00 PM

140 in my SVTF. Held 125-135 for 15-20 miles following an Audi TT and a Jetta. The Jetta couldn't keep up so every couple of miles we would slow down to 120 and then hit it again. Not too smart but tons of fun. Nate
