I've had my FD to 172 mph (radar confirmed), how about everyone else?

WhtRocket

I've only gone 155 as per the P-FC. 172 must have been very.......interesting.

Where you on a track? Any after market Aero goodies? Stock wing?

Haven't had a chance yet to take it to the limit. Did you get caught by a cop when you did 172 mph?

Splinemodel

Actually, radar only works precisely when you are being lashed straight on. If there's an angle involved your actual speed would be higher than the measured speed.

At least that's what the guys at the US Open claim.

I did like 160+ mph racing Supra TT

I did 160mph on a GSXR750 before letting off and pulling over to change my underwear:o I was going to St.George Utah with some friends and they all left me like I was standing still cause I hadn't been riding that long. Well, I got on it to catch up when I hit a big crack in the road and got a little wobbly. I got really scared and let off....when I looked down I was just passing 160. I guess I was going faster but can't confirm it....all I saw was 160.

I've only been 135mph in my FD Soon to be faster than that in the 1/4.

Flybye

Only 155 :p
I had my ExGF with me and my tires weren't so good.

error402

110mph just before traffic slowed me.
I just have a slow little 7.

DamonB

Have seen 165+ twice

bajaman

153....I think that is all she has.......

Oh yeah, this was when I found out about my "T" rated tires......

Pressurized

I've taken her all the way and buried the needle...how fast I was really going, who knows?

Did 155 when it was stock, but now that it has 100+ more horses, it should do alot more. But the new big rear wing should keep it down under 170. One of these days I'll give it a run, probably after a big arguement with my wife. : )

142 then ran out of highway and with somewhat shitty tires. It felt like she plenty more left in her though.

Dan Putnam

My brother is a trooper. We closed off a small section of highway out in the middle of nowhere one day and he radared me. And yes, I have some aero mods, Knight sports body and Racing Beat rear wing. It get's real floaty around 170. Scary thing is, I know I could've gone MUCH faster, I never shifted out of fourth, I just ran out of road!

163 or so acording to speedo...keepin my lead ona cbr 900...it was fun
shortend my trip by like 15minutes
we did it abt 3 times till i gave hima thumbs up he gave me a nod, then his boy on a yellow ducatti with his girl on the back cought up like 10 min later...it was great


i miss my fd

Wargasm

140 ish in my 87 TII - Had plenty more power, but it starts vibrating a bit up there... makes me nervous (intake/full 3 inch exhaust/PFC FCON)

150 ish in my 93 R1 - Had plenty more power also... wasn't even breaking a sweat. I just didn't feel like going any faster on that short stretch of road. Felt rock solid stable, in fact, I let go of the wheel and it just went straight ahead. (Intake/full 3 inch exhaust/M2 stage 3 ECU)


I'm trying to get my single turbo conversion up and running... that thing should be good for at LEAST 185+ or maybe even close to 200 when I'm done. I don't know that I'll ever try it though... maybe.....

Regards,
Brian

Dan, you have modified gears or something? Redline in 4th is about 140 ish right?

I did 155 and it felt fine but visions of what would happen if I lost control at that speed made me back off. Besides, even at midnight in the middle of nowhere there was an occasional car and a guy in a minivan must have been mighty suprised when I passed him at that speed!

m0t03

140 in my FD weavin in between traffic. It felt real sturdy an plenty of power left.


Mike

JoeD

nice story buddy. redline in 4th gear is around a buck 40 and change.

try again.

Die For MX

i hit about 150 but then i left off because i started to think of my boy that was killed in a 300zx twin turbo this past september

94touring

I have gone a little over 150 when it was nearly stock and it was still pulling strong. I can hit 135 in 4th gear at 7500 rpms.

Matt Vermillion

To tell the TRUTH..... it is pretty easy to pick out the stories..... seems to be a fairly honest crowd !!!!

I've spun '93 stock tourer up to 155 on the speedo w/ new Z-rated tread... it didn't have much left as I was running out of highway.... FUN FUN FUN..... my modded 900RR has hit 164 running side-by-side with the new 2001 GSXR1000..... both were very stable at those speeds with good pavement and great rubber. Time to do some mods on the RX7

JoeD

yeah...there is one story that COMPLETELY obvious that it occurred on his dream.

sheesh...if you wanna be believed, at least know about the gear ratios on in an FD.

(not gonna mention any names. i dont wanna be an *******.)
