What the foo.....!

Just back from the missus in Bolton - no traffic, time to actually see how fast she really goes!

I got an "indicated" 141mph which of course cant be right?!?! whats the actual true speed I was doing?

Note: no wind or hills were present in the making of this challenge!

Note: Music: Rick Astley: Never Gonna Give You Up <--- That a factoring point? does my car like a bit of 80s class?

Rick Astley - you should be ashamd of yourself!!!! No wonder the car was going so quick - was trying to get away from the stereo!!!!!

Truth be told - i went and bought Salt and Pepper and Bobby Brown to get the cheese going a couple of months back!!!!

i had mine doing an indicated mailto:140@6900rpm">140@6900rpm on the m65 i think it was, still felt like it was accelerating too, would be interestingto know what it was actually doing though! i have 15s, k&n and magnex rear box!!!

top end on paper is 121 i think, remember you have a 10% margin for error on speedos esp at top end.

top end on paper 4 a cup is 139 aint it?

 

[pennga]

yeah but he has a 16valve looking at the side

 

[Tom_16v]

Book figure is 130mph.

Ive only managed 130mph before now, but that wasnt even flat out! Just ran out of road!

 

[16V_Matt]

yea book is 130 on a 16v and is all ive managed b4 thinking its silly and slowing down

 

[steve a]

Managed !35 but bottled it and backed off for the fear of my licence.

 

[Daz.]

Just to clarify ill never be doing it again - got away with it that time and have no intentions of loosing my licence!

Shocked me though how stable it was doing it - only had the wind noise coming through the sunroof and the electro beats of Rick in my ears.....

 

[Daz.]

***UPDATE*** Ive now retired Rick back to the PC - Top speed now only 65mph or 68mph with the Pet Shop Boys on tap....

 

[fcuk1_6]

127 is the exact book figure
