The quickest I have personally driven a car is 190 in my ED (AUTO). went from 120 to 190 in about 900m.
Fastest in car, 225 in a HYundai Elantra.
Fastest = 255 on a motorbike. My cousin was in control and I had already shit myself at 200!!!

The mates GSXR (him riding) - 299km/h when the speedo stopped. Kept pulling another 40ish km/h
" " (me riding) - 270km/h, that was enough at the time.

140kph in first aint that hard its all in the gearing with the ol 9" diff you can go down to a 2.75 I think and with the right ratio toploader and big revs they would prolly do 140kph without to many dramas

I used to run a HQ Statesman way back when, mild 327 Chev 2 speed powerglide and a 10 bolt sailsbury with 2.60 ratio would do 100mph (160kph) in 1st then chirp 2nd.... slow as off the line but once you got up it and past 3000rpm was all good

Thats what I was thinking too. 3.00 Bathurst diff, 7000rpm motor and short ratio toploader. The shit thing is if that car could do 140 at say 7000rpm, it'll be doing 40kmh at 2000rpm in 1st, what a bitch that would be to launch...

I've done 50 downhill on a racer, mountain bikes are heaps slower and less stable.

No legs out of bed at that rpm?

Clipless pedals are the bicycle equivalent of ARP rod bolts :P I think I overheated the front pads (normal rim brakes) when I stopped though, they felt really 'grindy' for a while afterwards - like a car with a couple of metal to metal pads lol. I should get a pic of the hill...there is a T-intersection at the bottom :shock:

180kph in the EA less than a week after I got it... back when I was young and stupid. It handled it alright, but I haven't ever done it since.
