OK. So given the various modded 7's around here, who has actually pushed their's all the way. Even if we are only talking stock or basic mods, what speeds are we talking about????

So far I have not found the right place, or had enough nuts to dump it in the wrong place. I have done 125 in Katy TX, on not so smooth roads in farm territory.

I have read various things in mags, and a lot of the talk here is 1/4 mile times. What about the top end???

 

i did 165 with the stuff in my sig

 

155mph less the Y-pipe and exhaust in my sig (lost my headlight cover in the process

 

I did an indicated 165mph in my bone stock CYM two years ago on a 5 mile stretch of highway. Even though the speedo said 165mph, it was probably closer to 159-163mph. Still remarkable nonetheless.

200km/h the night I drove it home. It was easily capable of much much more. Previous owner claims he did 280km/h.

 

I touched 280km/h on my speedo (174mph), don't know how accurate it is though.
Even then I was being outrun by a Nissan Skyline R33...

 

i dont think speedos are acurate, me and a friend where in a 2002 bmw m3. the speedo said 145mph the hanheld g.p.s. said 139mph

 

BMW speedos read notoriously higher than they're supposed to....sometimes they read 10mph higher when above 85mph. They do this because of some law in europe that no carmaker can produce a speedo that reads under the actual speed your going. They make it read higher cuz of that law

 

btw, i havent touched above 125 yet......still a lil scared to do it w/ this sluggish stock springs ive got

 

Best run was 178 -- however it cost engine #2.

 

160....then it started to rain. i doubt ill be doing that again any time soon.

 

160 mph on valentine's day...blew the doors off a heavily modded GTI. Only mods are Intake, dp, cb with turbo's jetted to 10 psi.

 

On the road - 125. On the dyno we did a top end run and maxed out at 193 mph at 8 or 8500 I think. Seems like the tires might have started beading up lol.

 

~160 but the stock springs suggested i not push any farther... tehre were light gusts of winds not more than a few miles an hour and they were enought to make the car move halfway into the next lane...that and the lighness of teh steering wheel due to fron end lift... will an r1 or j-spec 99 spoiler help with that any? i need springs/struts too...

 

I ran 165 last Friday against a M3...we both started at 80, I gave him 3 car lengths before downshifting to 4th (didn't really give him 3 on purpose...should have started in 4th in the first place) and blew by him by 145. The FD had a sh*tload more to go. I last dynoed at 280 rwhp a few months ago.

 

150mph...and pulling hard. Won't try it again unless on track conditions???somewhere???

 

130 before i let up.

 

man either you are crazy or got some big *****.

 

143 mph on the beltway around DC

 

170 twice, once with just dp and cb, once with most of the crap in my sig. The second time was on the way up to Kan's house and some C5 wanted to play--we went from a 70 punch.....I saw 170, but he gave up way before that . Car felt solid as a rock both times, and the second time the windows were down

 

160 three times

 

I did 145 in my stock R1. I didn't have a boost guage at the time, but when I got one I discovered I was having boost problems. I am pretty sure the problems existed then as well. Once my car is on the road (rebuild) and broken in, I am sure it will be capable of much more. The only question is, why would I want to. You really only get a few things from going that fast:
1. A fat ticket, a trip to jail, and an impounded car(if they catch you)
2. A broken seven.
3. A totaled seven.
Even when I was doing 145, it was only cool for a few seconds.

 

i wanna get to the 200mph club and then i'll be happy... but then i prolly wont be attempting that unless im doing the silver state opeN(which i plan to do)

 

130mph, and that was because I lacked enough road, and have 3psi. With the soon to come mods, I will try again, and give myself more space.

 

173 with semi-mild mods. I doubt I'll do it again--in hindsight, it was a stupid thing to do (given the roads, etc)
