@ SUN

Think about launching at 230 km/h, before the raod begins falling
...and then put it in neutral, or the engine will keep you from accelerating, you should easily reach 300 Kmh

Erm, took the s2k up to 135 with the roof down yesterday morning on the M3 heading south towards Southampton. It is a great road, they have fresh tarmac on one stretch, plus the fuzz all go the other way

We out ran an AMG undercover cop car in my m8s Supra Has to be the best kill ever! Until my mate slowed down, oh dear They only recorded a speed in excess of 140 cos they couldn't keep up to record it. Best part was, he got a producer

Took an Omega 3l v6 up to 140 too.

130 MPH in my '98 Prelude Type SH on 280 South. I chickened out after that. On a separate occasion, I had the chance to sit shotgun in Abzug's 2002 Suzuka Blue. I think he hit over 120 MPH with the top down going on 237 East in Milpitas.

All speedo indicated and all on the pubic highway.

'73 Dodge Charger - 120mph (very scary, my first car, felt like you were floating)
'94 ZX-6 - 160mph (rock solid feeling, this bike was made for speed)
'93.5 Supra Single Turbo SP74 700 RWHP 28psi boost- 150mph (rock solid feeling, this car was made for speed too, got to 150 very quickly!)
2004 S2000 - 120mph, top down (i've only had the car a week or so... just playing around)
I need a supercharger on the S2000! Nothing seems fast to me after owning the Supra Single Turbo.

[QUOTE] So what'ts the fastest speed that you have travelled across the SURFACE of the earth? Now, for those of you who are worried about incriminating yourself, I am asking how fast you have been IN a vehicle, not DRIVING it.

~160mph in my '94 Talon TSi (modded of course). It was still pulling very hard, but nearing redline in 5th gear.

13x in the S2k.

Dam this thread is old

142 in my s2k.....

I recently watched a video of another stock s2k hitting 154. You can't imagine how long the climb was from 140-154.
