For interestes sake... before anyone wants to spank my arse and call me a naughty boy - I was in the unrestricted zone.

Mate and I took the car out the other day to see what it could do. So I'm asking, does 190 Km/h sound about right for the top speed on my car? At the time I was fairly busy concentrating on the road.. only got a glimpse of the tacho.. and once I hit 190 I backed off so I'm not sure if it has anymore left in it... would've been magic to hit 200 but really.. it would've been a sad day if I'd got a blow out, etc.. didn't really want to push my luck.

All i can tell you is at that speed no one is your friend , not even GOD.

so be carefull

on ther other hand

we have few champs here who have done over 200, with few at 215 km/h+.

but in the end you have to be very carefull at that speed as a little stone on the road can be the difference between life and death. :)

trust me a rock on the road at 120 can be bad.

ive sat on 180 without a problem but then i have 225 50 17s with V(240) rating bridgestone grid 2.

smooth as silk and i suspect that the suspension is sports being a vrx :) so its a tad safer with normal shocks etc you can bounce yourself off the rd going round a corner if your not careful.

i havent gone past 180 unless on an overtake where i generally dont look at the speedo :P i just drive and concentrate.

i went 180km/h in my 2.6l TR, on stock suspension and stock tyres.....felt pretty smooth and stable. I was by-myself and it was 2am on a practically empty highway.

i have hit the 210 limiter in my TH Exec a few times now

so yeah - there is probably a little bit more left in your car - just be safe doing it - make sure you are on open straight roads and no one is around and your tyres and car are in good condition!!

Manual

I understand what you're on about there guys. Now I've got that out of my system I honestly doubt that I'll see the high side of 140 for quite a while.

It wasn't the best ride although I did get a wheel alignment, balance and rotate yesterday which I was waiting for before proceeding. The tyres and suspension are fine but it's only a stock executive with 15's and it was a little more floaty than I would've liked.

it is a weird feeling when your on a national highway and you have to slow down for normal 100 corners :P

it is a weird feeling when your on a national highway and you have to slow down for normal 100 corners :P

if you d/l the video of my 210 effort - you can see where i had to slow for the bend in the road - taking a right hander at 180 is not fun at all!!!

I really need to update that video now that i have a few mods and decent suspension and wheels - just need to find the right place ;) haha

Manual

i wouldnt mind seeing some of ur vids

is it you that said you had some hand braky vids ?

I have hit 195 in my standard 3.0 TE manual. :badgrin: Was smooth as silk, any faster and i reckon she would have been pretty floaty.

correction, that speed is now 210, with a 190 lefty :shock:

i wouldnt mind seeing some of ur vids

is it you that said you had some hand braky vids ?

yep that would be me - when i convert them i will uplod them so ppl can see them

Manual

Do you guys know what speed your average tyre would be rated at?

Do you guys know what speed your average tyre would be rated at?

Average tyre?? I have ZR Rated tyres - 300+ km/h

Manual

But always remember if u hit 200km/h the error on the speed is even higher. The speedo may show 200km/h but the car could be doing only 180-185km/h on an actual trap speed measurement.

An example was my Speedo showing around 195-200km/h but the RSM measured 188km/h

The E300 Merc's speedo in my mate's ends at 240, but the needle went past that, upon measuring the possible top speed of the car through gear ratio and higesh possible RPM as well as the diameter of the wheel, it came up only to 235Km/h...

CHEERS :D

havent really pushed my TH, but dad's TE wagon definately makes it to 210! i bet that was the fastest pizza delivery ever. i had the TH to about 180-190, but then i seen a R32 Skyline ahead of me.... lucky there was no other traffic. i don't think the skyline knew what passed him!! HAHAHAHA

I've hit 214 in my 3.5, however corner was approaching quite rapidly, so I backed off. I'm relatively sure my speed cut is at 220 anyways.

yeh 4am on deserted highway saw me hit 200. had a bit to go but i didnt see the point, 200 was my goal.
1am driving up the coast a few days ago i was having lots of fun with a non turbo 300ZX. heaps of drags and killed it everytime, cruising alongside at 140 in 4th gear and punching it. lots of fun :)
i didnt go further than 160 though, and cruised back to 115 when he exited off.

Bah....My Skylines doin 180kmh from standstill in 400m....and its still in 3rd :p

240-250kmh (rev Limit) comes up 'very' quickly afterwards.

I have done this many times with this and other fast cars i have owned on stock standard family car tyres....no problem.

It is when you maintain those kind of speeds that problems arise, as long as your straight up and straight down no problem ;)

235 8)

rsm said 231 8) 8)

Bah....My Skylines doin 180kmh from standstill in 400m....and its still in 3rd :p

Mine is doin 151 in 4th ;) hahah

Do you guys know what speed your average tyre would be rated at?

i've hit 220 a week after i got my tj :D

not happy about the limiter :(

cruise to Wollongong at about 195 - 200 every couple of days

ive had my limiter taken off and reach a top speed of 260kph

ive had my limiter taken off and reach a top speed of 260kph


bahahahhahahha.. pull my other wiener!!! ahahahahhah. oh yer dave?? and how did you figure you were doing 260, considering the speedo only goes to 240. the auto box is only 4 speed so you would of been revving around 8500rpm.. which once past 5500.. your power drops off very very quickly, and there would be no pulling power by the time you reach 6500rpm.. if you can even get momentem by that rpm range.... ??? or is that wat the speeding ticket said?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

260 with stocko's too!!?? ahahahahhahahhahahahah

ROLMAO!!! ahahahhahahah. you ****ing clown fooya!

man i can do that in reverse with 23 people in the car ROFLMAO

How did you get 23 people in the car?

I can only get 22

well, maybe perhaps... perhaps the same hill we flew down to get from victor harbor to gawler in one hour and thirty mins eh.. ;) even then, taking some of those corners blind at 214km/hour is a very very very scary thought!

my car revs all the way to 7000 without losing power :badgrin:

the 260 was really a 200 with a bit of dust turning the first 0 into a 6 :lol:

ive been to 230, that was a small hill though racing some tx3 8)

You are all fools. My scooter makes 3 times the speed of sound, and that's not even using the fourth turbine.

195 in the TF and I was too scared to go any faster. This was on the way to home from the airport.. just picked up the cousins from South Africa.. where speeding is a 10 RAN bribe! Which is like PEANUTS! Ahh well.. I gave them a taste of home!

SuFz :evil:

Hey guys with all due respect a standard auto in a TH in 4th does 100 at 2000ish RPM, 160 at 3000Rpm, therotically, 220 at 4000, 280 at 5000 and so on. Of course there is no way my car could get to the speeds without major power increases.
I have never been over 180 and that was in 3rd still accelerating, just, and no there is no weiner factor here, just telling you what the dials say.

WHAT!!! YOUR CAR HAS BETTER GEARING THAN MINE.. NOOOOOOOO!!!

160 - 4000rpm
200 - 5000rpm
220 - 5450
230 - 5600

why is your 4th? gear so low?? maybe i should of gotten a auto :(

(NOT! - well, auto for the 'economy' but not for the phat factor 8) :lol: )

:shock: :shock: 4pleazn, you must be computer genius when u removed speed limiter. Tell me and XinuS how to do it :?: because I’m not happy with my limit set at 210

Booya it was theoretical ;)

:shock: :shock: 4pleazn, you must be computer genius when u removed speed limiter. Tell me and XinuS how to do it :?: because I’m not happy with my limit set at 210

why would you need your limiter removed when the most your vic roads will allow you is 110, but most cases 100..

if you got pinged at 210, your fu-ked. no licenece for sure!!!

perhaps that limiter is good for you melbourne guys! lol

I got my TH upto 230km/h on the speedo and tacho was reading app. 4600rmp. It felt as it still had more to go! I was still able to accelerate more, but I ran out of road. It takes a little while to get to 230 but!

180 dragging prelude...

In the wet...

It was from when i got the car... and the speed factor in the car was nil so i thought i wasnt driving that fast.... I looked at the speedo shat myself and slowed down......

now i havnt gone past 120-130 and even then its on 110 roads.. im shit scared of dying.

Everyone please please remember that doing these speeds on public roads is not only very dangerous but also highly illegal.

Race tracks are the place to do this sort of thing, there are no cars pulling our in front of you or people running from behind the tree you are about to mutilate your car on.

A very good example is the commo last week here in vic, the engine got thrown from the car, over a fence and nearly into someone's bedroom.

I am not saying we should be little goodie goodies but when you read of people like the poor little 3 year old that lost his life in Sydney last week during a Police chase, it does make on stop and think a bit.

i hit 220 klm in mt tf just when the limiter kicks in i cant remember what i get out of 1st but i get 140klm out of 2nd and 200klm out of 3rd then limiter cuts in at 220klm in 4th with about 4600-4700 on the clock.
i got to 220klm 2 hours ago racing a vn ss hahaha he chickened out dont blame him realy but im a bit silly lol.

ok- i am figuring you drive an auto - cos my 1st isd 60 - 2nd is 90ish - 3rd is 145 ish and 4th - well - by that stage i am normally concentrating on the road ;)

Ben, in VIC your license is gone at 120 in 100 zone for 1 month, BUT :!: :!: speed never kills :!: :!: only sudden stop :cry:

What Mal said was totally right, I have to admit that when I did my run, I did it in Country Victoria in the wee hours of the morning and once, Nick (2much) went with me, there were no cars, if an accident does happen (touchwood). at least if I die I won't bring anyone with me... and if I crash, I will crash into the sweet pastures and not someone's bedroom. But of course, once is enough.. and I would like to stress on Mal's point, DO IT ON THE TRACKS :)

CHEERS

How about 280 km/h (that's two hundred and eighty) and still pulling when I ran out of Philip Island Front Straight?

Yair, okay. It wasn't in the Beast. It was on my Suzuki GSF1200 Bandit. But, GOD things happen fast at that speed!

I always thought it's how fast you get there that counts, not how fast you're going. :lol:

Personally, in my TM GLX 180 in 4th about 4500RPM, slight downhill
that was cool! coz the tires where only H rated, HAHA.... in other words, it could have Blown up to pieces... but the problem was that it took probably 1min to get from 100 to 180. so not fun at all....

in TF auto, only 190 didn't push hard, free way entrance. it was doing about 4000rpm.

in VY Commodore exec 3.8 ecotec, 240 and decided to slow down. it was doing 4500 or near 5000.

ok i have te 5 speed with tj gear box :D i took it up to 221 kmh stock the other night approx cause it just went ova 220 then shut down then on the brakes for stop sign i need new brake pads now :lol:

220km/hr (hit the limiter) in 3.5 TJ Auto Sedan 8)

I hit 185 in 4th gear at 6700 rpm in my tt magna so I can only imagine that in 5th gear with the torque there is a long way to go

The other thing we will probably do next time (In the vague future) of our vehicle is get a damage auto and transfer the main gear to drop the gearing down to improve economy and give it some longer legs.

I had my oldies KE flat chat at just shy of 230. Didnt feel any limiter. Have photos of it. I think limiters came in on KF, TF onwards because they realised just what they were capable of. Felt fine except for the brakes didnt like it to much.

The KH Wag does 145 in second(Auto) and had it upto 200 but didnt feel near flat chat.

personally i think 190 is pretty pisweak :badgrin: :badgrin: 8) i'm a psycho tho did 200 while overtaking a semi on the highway thru a slow turn just after pulling out of brisbane... and have had it up to 205 on 2 other occssions... just to grab my back seat passengers attentions.... in my TH 3.5L with aircon goin. the passengers had no clur until i said hey girls look at the speedo :shock:

Fastest I've been was on the way to Adelaide along dead straight, flat country roads near Millicent. I hit 170 there and chickened out because all it takes is a little echidna or something to stumble out and turns your whole bumper into mesh.

Also without some type of lower front bar or a lip extension was also getting a noticeable amount of lift which made the steering vague.

I've never actually tested out my TH or any car for that matter... I know i'm not an experienced enough of a driver to be able to handle those speeds if something happened... :oops: Altho i have gone 160 in my bf's car when 2 semi's decided to play games with me at 3am... :roll:

well, the other night i pulled 200m out of 4th. dropped her into 5th and 210 came around. I slowed down after that cos there were cars up ahead. Had the air-con on as well. Its only a 3.0 with a sports muffler, so i reckon thats PDG. \:D/

Motor mag ran a tj1 vrx in pcoty a few years back and it hit the limiter at 216, they were using a police radar gun to measure the speed, mitsubishi reason for the limiter was because the car was fitted with h rated tyres, not sure if they moved when they put 17's on the tj2

Top speed out of my 3.5 TH was 215 twice. Both times hit the limiter. I now have no real desire to do that again. It felt like the ECU drops spark to one cylinder, is this actually what happens? In either event, at that speed its not a good feeling :shock:

I've got a stock TS V6 3L magna with the standard 15" steel rims (& wheel covers), 5sp manual, running PULP & pedders sports shocks (not lowered).

I've read with interest the reponse to this topic as I have been thinking of upgrading the 2nd car (a ford) to a TH/TJ 3.5L.

I have hit a top speed of 212-3klm/hr on flat land & on several occasions, exceeded 200klm/hr with a slight incline. I would be a little disappointed if your feedback is true because I would expect to exceed 220klm/hr (& possibly hit 230klm/hr) with a 3.5L, particularly with some simple mods (ie. K&N, exhaust, 16"/17" rims).

Of course, these speeds are dangerous & highly illegal.

Unless you know a way of disabling the speed limiter, I very much doubt your chances of going over 220 km/h in a TJ (as I recall its set 5km/h higher than a TH). Unless your going down a VERY STEEP hill :D :D

Perhaps an aftermarket ECU would also work???? :?

a aftermarket ECU will mean, that there is no speed limits.

hence why ive done 230+.

the speed limiter is programmed into your mitsu ECU.

its not fair :( i have an ex government lease car and the limiter is set at 178kmp/h-ish it would not go any faster it sat at 2500revs in forth, bloody government don't trust there own workers :evil:

I took my te 4cyl to 185ks once and in third gear, it had heaps left in it, and was smooth too, but my cousin did'nt like it so backed off.

Got 225/50/16s and king lowered springs so that helps with handling at that speed I suppose.

its not fair :( i have an ex government lease car and the limiter is set at 178kmp/h-ish it would not go any faster it sat at 2500revs in forth, bloody government don't trust there own workers :evil:I wouldn't trust the lazy buggers either!!!

and yeah, my TH has reached its limiter (done before i got rid of old muffler) on a quiet stretch of road...

oh, and if you think things go past quickly at 200km/h... think of the poor Indianapolous (spelling?) 500 Nascar drivers... in that race they average 315km/h!!!

i got a Tf v6 doing an accent today (haha owned it so bad) anywayz, i think i would have been in 3rd and when i decided to floor it it switched down 2 gears and probably went to 1st gear doing 70k.

I have been 100 in a 60 zone hahaha :lol: :lol:

i feel proud :D

It's not a 3rd gen magna but I've done 160km/h in a TR GLX 85kw at the engine :D It's max speed pretty much maybe could have got to 165 but I doubt it. Only done it once on an open road with 2 massive lanes and noone in sight with a huge view infront of me with one of my good mates in the passengers seat. The car handled beautiful. Didn't feel unstable at all.

They should make all Cars capable of at least 150km/h, makes high way over taking a lot quicker and safer if you can over take quicker so you don't spend as much time on the other lane.

btw, the Astron II is capable of 175+-5, that's the MAX speed of my TM GLX 1985.

Only 180 in the TJ and TS.

I took my stock, manual TE to 200km/h on the highway about 2 nights ago, kinda floaty going around the corners but not too bad i thought for a stocko with just 15's, 200 in a 100 zone and about 15 secs after i slowed back down to 100 i saw a highway patrol on the side of the road.....lucky lucky lucky is all i can say, i could've gone further too i reckon i realised the air conditioning was on afterwards, i took it to 165 in the main street about 2 weeks ago too while dragging my mate in his ford (smoked him :D ), that was bloody stupid 165 in a 50 zone!! and the main street at that, but it was 3am, it's kinda sketchy going through a round-a-bout at 100!!!!! lol one of the silliest things i've done in a car to date, only had my P's about 3 months!!

is this not one of the most worn out topics, one about how we try to annihilate ourselves and others?

just curious, wats the fastest anybodys gone in a car, not just their magnas. iv been 260kmh in corvette and i was wanting to jump out!!

well, the fastest i've been in a car is a mazda 626 (like a 92 model) it was a 2L 4 cyl. my dad was driving it on the way to stanthorpe (u brisbane and qld guys should know where that is) anywayz, we were doing about 195, 200. i front of the car was pretty damn high then (fully stock EVERYTHING!)

never tried going past 150....dont wanna die, and don't wanna lose my p licence.

never tried going past 150....dont wanna die, and don't wanna lose my p licence.

Wouldn't going 30km/h over the limit cause you to lose your Ps?

Bottomline... Don't Speed ;) ( Although I admit I do so at times, but not with cars around, if I have an accident, at least I don't kill others but only myself)

"just curious, wats the fastest anybodys gone in a car, not just their magnas. iv been 260kmh in corvette and i was wanting to jump out!! "

:cry: Well I done as a driver 245 kmh in Volvo (Heilbron-Stuttgart)

The fastest I have even been was 200 km/hr in my magna and 220km/hr on my RGV250 motorcyle (Twice). Scared the living daylights out of me and have never done it again. The road gets very small at that speed.
And it probably only took you about 11secs to get to 200 aswell :lol:

good question too!

what speed (mph/kph) would a 11sec pass be approx?

mitsman? any insight?

Don't mean to sound preachy, but testing car's on highway's kill's families.
Hat's off to Mr Todd Wilkes of Brisbane who a few year's ago put the 1000hp+ 5.0L twin turbo V8 from "JUDGE", his commodore ute, into an Alpha Romeo Giacattolo and was doing about 230kph when he hit the wall at the end of the straight on a reverse track race at Eastern Creek.
He only killed himself.
But hey, if we all get out on the track's, maybe they'll let something else into the touring car circuit, and we can show the dinosaur's how to build a car. Funny how Australian built American grunt got whipped by Japanese technology so they banned it.

I absolutely agree. Pedigree or Mongrel in this case seems to count more than the racing. But how many fans out there of non-V8 would go to see Skylines, RX7s, Audis etc winning the Bathurst series. Obviously the promoters think that there would be very few, thats why they chnage the rules. But come on, would we kick out all the drug crazies and replace them with well behaved studious types, no the only thing that would be different is the cars and the support to australian car industry (lots more competition) and in turn the affect on the environment of super powerful cars that have only 2L engines. No more V8s killing plants as they go by.


Fastest Speed Magna 210kmh (LIMITER!!!), YZF R6 250kmh (no more torque, carburetted)

235 in a standard TF 3.0L... thats as fast as she goes...

its a bit of thing really... i like the V8's, but not cause of what they are, its more cause of the racing, its heaps more exciting than most other motor sports (except Rally of course, its way the best!!).... Nascar is boring, F1 is boring as batshit, motorbikes are pretty good to watch... true there is some skill in all of the above, but the closer races and tougher tracks make the V8s a really good series!!

Also as for V8's killing plants... if you're talking about the race spec versions, the WRX's that were hiking around the 24hr were using nearly the same amount of fuel (or so they said, and quote figures, on channel 10) as the monaro!!! i couldn't believe it... but they said it!!!

add to the fact on a daily basis I see many cars, stock, being driven on the road pumping out more pollution than these race cars.

as for the promoters thinking more will come for the V8's, i always thought the basis of racing was the best won, not the most popular.

It was just that neither the ford or holden team could keep near the skylines so they protested and this is now what we are stuck with

Hey all you race fans.

You know what i say? BRING ON THE SKYLINES, MAGNAS ON CRACK, WRX's, SUPRAS to the batherst 1000!
They'ed shit all over the fords & holdens ESPECIALLY in braking, cornering, and acceleration due to thier lighter chassis!

What they race in the V8 supercar series aren't Commodores or Falcons. My mountain bike has more in common with a road going Commodore or Falcon than the V8 Supercars do.

GT-P is the most relevant series as the cars most closely relate to what we drive. I don't know if manufactures like it though because it can show their cars for what they really are.

Oh yeah, 180km/h is the fastest I've been.

Yeah and if I remember correctlly when they first ran the Magnas in the GT-P, they beat both the SSs and XR8s, and I think even the Camrys did quite well :lol:

185 in my old Auto TE exec.. dont think she can handle much more captain.. especially on the shyt back road i was on, stock suspension.. actually stock as a rock except for some ICE gear. 135 is the fastest i have been in my sports. :roll:

Only ever got my Verada up to about 150, but i have been a little airborn at 130. :)

on my magna only up to 110 on freeway

on my civic back home 210...:) on a 49 km long of paid toll to jakarta,where speed limit sign is just a road attribute :D

i think madmagna knows what i'm talking about as he has been to indonesia for several times...

A long time ago when i was young and stupid, (about 2 years ago)
i took my 3.0L V6 TF manual up to the 220km/h limiter, very straight, smooth road with great visibility, no traffic and a drive past first to make sure nothing was on the road, bugger being stupid near a bend.
Car felt great, steering was excellent, I can say that i have only ever been to that speed once, and wont stress my ageing engine doing it again, no point really, the limiter will still be there. Car was still pulling pretty strong though.
Standard everything, lowered suspension.

I have pulled 200 out of 4th gear, with only a muffler, and when i dropped it into 5th, i got 210, but i slowed down cos there was traffic ahead. :D

200, overtaking on princes hwy southbound good friday morning. (during dbl demerits - stupid me :P)

was overtaking a car tugging a boat, didn't realise there was no space infront so sped up till there was space. 4 people in the car, the boot fully loaded... scared the **** out of me :redface:

Was overtaking 4 cars in a row got past them and just kept my foot down to see how fast see could get 220k's in a TH Sports, My next door nieghbours "89" carrera we hit 276k's on the monash freeway at 3 in th morning fair effet and she could of made 300 plus easy!!
Cheers

isnt the TH speed limited at 210 (i think) 240 limit is only on the VRX could be wrong...

lol i miss read and thought u said camera was about so say, u couldnt get a camera going 280 if u dropped it off a cliff. even in a porche i find it hard to believe it could do 300 for a car of that age.

in the TH i think it was round either 215 or 225 b4 i backed off, n the ralliart phew not sure had it up to like the end mark whats that 240, dont know what the actual speed was, but i maintained that 4 like 5mins or so, r34 skyline was about 5 or 6 car spaces back, i think dont remember exactly 2 busy kinda watchin a rd...

tbutcher, megatron n i raced to about 180ish then megatron backed off.... cant remember at what speed tbutcher n i backed off at.....

ive hit 235 in my te but she was screaming it's nut's off and a mate of mine own's a dodge viper we hit 279 on the bruce highway

ok iv got a new update while hollidaying i met up with one of my mates from qld and he's got a supercharged camaro we hit 290km/h its scary no one is ur frend at that speed. all i can say is i dont want to go any faster...ever again

In my TF i reached 200km/hr the night i bought my car. Now i have to see if it has a speed limiter, only one way of doing this :badgrin:
Reached 225 in my R32

I cant believe you guys can get that fast.....

I've hit 160 in my KH Verada on the F3 Freeway heading up to Newcastle. Going down Canberra way this weekend so will see what else is left. Felt completely stable even though it's stock.

Although, I owned an 97 R33 Skyline just two months ago and that thing absolutely flew. I actually had the needle off the speedo in that (speedo was replaced with a 250 unit from standard) so can't be precise. All I know is that it was devastatingly quick both off the mark and on the move. Had plenty of mods on it as well which probably helped .

Must admit though that in terms of smoothness and sophistication, the Verada is a league above the Skyline. May not be as quick but I don't regret selling it.

Go the Magnas.

i know i dont belong here but i got to 170 with my tp magna that was fun but it was on a very smooth part of the freeway little bit downhil but i am proud of it a worn engine at 170 with 300000ks on it i didnt really feel any roughness hence the smooth freeway but my cvs are f*cked as well

Thats tempting fate.... :roll:

Yeah my brother had an old TM 5speed SE we had ages ago upto 174 wouldn't go anyfurther so we backed off and agreed never to that again........................in that car anyway :D

for insane speeds and acceleration a bike has got it on my GSXR off the clock(300+) don't know why i did it i turned the thing into a race bike i feel much safer on the track. As for the car, AWD Sports, cut out at 215-220 on the same bit of road i used for the bike, but that is out in the sticks and is a flat straight of about 15k's not scrub or other obstacles close to the road. My excuse is that it is on the way home and i don't need to spend that long looking at the scenery. Got pulled up once by the cops but they were the locals so they said to take it easy and would catch up with me later. nice blokes

just to modify my statement a little, that bikes are the way to go, of the showroom floor, no modifying, when you start modifying and spending unlimited money bikes lose out.
