who's cracked 200mph?

[MrTickle]

Childish maybe but I just wondered how many of us have hit the 200mph mark on a speedo?

As much as I love going fast, I have only achieved this once (well a few times but same day in the same car!).

It was a Porsche GB owned 997GT2, lovely car... still on the wish list....

What other experiences do we have out there?

I was close, yet so far...

I like the way the fuel needle is blurred because it is dropping so fast

ahh... your problem there is only 0.8bar

Haha, true. That was taken in my 911 turbo which was my daily commuter from Antwerp to Rotterdam and back. Luckily the company covered my fuel expenses \o/ so it was perfect daily driver.

I drove an Aventador this summer. That thing would have easily broken the 200mph barrier. I dare not post the GoPro footage I have. I'll post the speedo though:

Looks like a computer game.

Every other morning on the way to work

[rt911]

197 mph, I think it would done the magic 2, but an approaching junction, and a truck in lane 1 made me think twice. I backed off and exited the motorway.

One day though, but the faster it goes the more stable it feels, just a little bit of aero does its job!

203 MPH as a passenger in a Mirage GT.

Only a poor 180 MPH with me at the wheel in the CSL.

[Stevorocket]

175mph past the Green Hell cafe on the Nordschliefe with a passenger.

But it was up hill!

Back end of the A1 going down to Nürburg on the last trip - had the electronic speedo showing 328 km/h for a short while - before getting to close to traffic. At night and alone in the car - not really the right time to whip out the camera phone to document the achievement!!!

Not quite the 200 mph barrier due to the tolerance of the speedo - but the fastest I have ever travelled in a car.

Corrected that for you

203mph on the speedo, 197 GPS so no

Autostrada, actually!

Just didn't want you getting in any trouble

My old Scoob has cracked 200mph on the Vbox at Bruntingthorpe - that must have been very scary - fortunately I was not driving! There is another Scoob that has been clocked at 215mph!!!!!

[RDMcG]

Never in a Porsche. Just over 190 in GT3RS.2. Just under in an RS.1 which was actually a bit scary as it got awfully light. Over 200 in a delimited M6 V10.

Mine was a speedo read too, so suspect I didn't make it in reality! But, still a milestone all the same

Seriously? Must have some pretty impressive power to overcome those aerodynamics, especially the 215 figure.

That has always been a question for me too. The fastest we ever hit in the M6 was 337 indicated, so I am thinking that about 320KM/h is about right. Purely academic in terms of experience though.
