Top Speeds!

X-Machine · 27th July 2004, 22:57

Hey Shan2nu,if u have a list of True Speeds of Indian vehicles,can u post em up plz.Wud luve to know that.

V shud know how our cars fool us.

Shan2nu · 27th July 2004, 22:58

Well, to know the actual top speeds, you can check up with Overdrive since they use Racelogic V box which is very accurate.

For some road tests, they even mention the speedo read and the true speed at the same time.

For the Vtec it's 195kmph "speedo", 185 kmph "true speed". And yup, i've hit 195kmph on my Vtec, didn't go beyond that.

firstly i agree girls next to us suck.
when my relative was doin 160 on a 2 lane highway , she was hitting his hand.......
how bad is that.
x-machine - impressive speeds.
i do agree that we get fooled by our cars.........
i did 185 in a cielo ...........
unmodified ofcourse but 185 is way off ..........

lol!

but you car guys r lucky!

when ever some girl comes with me on my elim, the moment i go above sixty, she pinches me very badly!!!!! and since it hurts gotta slow down..........sigh., must be the most crulest form of speed limiting!

Shan2nu · 28th July 2004, 01:59

I agree, bikes make things feel worse than they actually are. Sitting behind my friends bike doin 100kmph felt worse than when i did 195kmph on my car.

a pinch in the right places increases the speed ...as the throttle is thrown open !!!! lol

hi all

audi rs4: 250+ briefly maybe touched 260
very scary...

been a passenger in an M3, slk, sl, jag xj, merc C36, & a few others, seen umm..quite a bit over 230-240...( have a psycho unlce abroad)

zen:160kmph.yes coming down th expresway from lonavala just before you hit the foodstop on the left the car goes more than 160...no i will not recomend it

cbr400rr

alm beach road max'd out full throttle 180, yes bike got screwed, as smoking like hell for a few minutes.

zx-12r: stopped looking at the meter after 260 but still had the throttle wacked open ...
vmax: stopped looking after 200, but trust me with this bike you dont care it just pulls like a train
umm... ridden tons of bikes over 200-230, cbr1100xx,zx-11, cbr929, etcetcetc

all the imported cars abroad though, we dont have any roads for such driving here, if anyone does try it here, they are just stupid

GTO · 27th August 2004, 19:57

Hey Godspeed,

I dont think you were driving/riding. You were flying low!!!

Thats some truly awesome machinery you have experienced there, and our envy is with you. I have taken a spin around in a C32 AMG (driven by a pro-race driver) and gosh....it was unbelievably FAST!
