| So we all love our car's and I just wondered what's the highest speed some of us have achieved in any of our car's or bike's or whatever (planes & rockets not allowed ). Now I'm not looking for a debate please on safe driving practice's or any of that malarkey, .....so let's just have the figures and the vehicle too if you like, whether it was on-road or on a test track or whatever. Now obviously speedometers aren't spot on but according to the speedometer in my old (now deceased) 1996 JDM WRX Impreza my best top speed is 146mph but there was more left in it just not enough track left. | |

| It was under my own steam, but down a very long and steep hill We derestricted the SL's speed limiter, but it did mean disabling the ABS, TC, and ESP!! lol | |

| I loved it. That's the top speed apparently and it wasn't on GPS so maybe not quite right. Tell you what though, I really got it shifting and it hit the 155 mark just before I had to steady up for the roundabout. Few months later went down the same road in my evo 8 and hit 130 so much sooner than in the golf. | |

| Oh definatly after I heard that on top gear I had to get on YouTube and listen to it in surround sound. Sounds like thunder, also the prodrive concept sounds mental | |
