How fast?!?
Just looking back through my photos, and found a pic that PC magazine took of me travelling at full chat around curborough sprint track a couple of years ago in the Supra.
I am little more sedate thse days and havent had my ZT-T up to warp speed yet, I had a little lapse in france last year and pushed her up to 110mph before the wife had a moan and I had to back off. Bah. Come on folks....how fast have you had out of your cars?....all of them, KV6, Cdti, Turbos, V8's etc....whos been brave and had their car at full throttle? (Especially interested in Ti Rich's supertuned CDTi)

On the autobahns in germany, i have had my vitty up to 147 on the clock, which is prolly about 128 in real life.
Fastest i have been is in a 2.5 V6 twin turbo mini a mates dad built, i went to overtake a 3 series BMW and was doing 160 before i realised it:SHOCKED:

I've had my 180 ZT up to 135 on the clock that was pretty much flat out whatever the real speed was I have no idea, it was however smooth as silk and rock solid. MGR rating is 134 allegedly.

Only 100 so far. Might push more when I got new brake pads.
Got to 135 in my old 1.8 8valve Laguna. I'm sure all 75's can beat that easily.
