178mph on the digital speedo on my Yamaha R1 (going up bank on a dual carriageway), the day I had finished running it in. My m8's were there or there abouts on a TL1000R and a GSXR750 . It was a top buzz.

Many thanks,

Seeing as I work for gameplay and can be traced pretty sharpish, all I'll say is that if I was going to break the speed limit I'd probably get up to about 128 mph in my old Saab Turbo on a very deserted bit of road, very early in the morning and then be:

1) Surprised

and

2) Bricking it.

But of course I'd never do that.

Ah, if you're talking like that, then...

My car's supposed to be good for 155mph, but I haven't tried it yet. I reckon it'll do 140mph late at night on an open road with no other traffic around, but I wouldn't know for sure.

i did 145mph on the M1 near northampton early in morning on the way to the RS owners day at donnington i was going so fast i didnt even see the police car on one of those ramps till id past it and me m8 said. luckly 1,they was asleep or 2,just couldnt be arsed @ 6am to chase me
i reckon it would have got to over 160 if i hadn`t slowed down
ps have you noticed the steering goes really light after 130mph
also you shouldnt exceed the limits of your car or your tyres

You wouldn't happen to post on the RS Owners forum, would you? IT just so happens that a colleague just accross from me is posting there as I'm typing this... (work is great, isn't it?!!)

Goodyear Eagle F1 D2's on my baby. With a ZR speed rating, they're good for speeds over 150mph. Of course, I'll never do that, though. :)
