did every1 see that policeman in the news last week? what was it? oh yeah, 159mph on a public highway. but its ok he had special training. so does that mean that a traffic cop, who has bin off the job a few years, gets pull'd up for doing 159mph, get let off coz hes got special training. don't get me wrong, i do think that they hav to know how the car behaves. but no1 else cud get away with somthing like that. but this isn't what this thread is about. i'm sure that every1 in this owners club has gone over the 70mph limit 1 or 2 times. but just how far over has every1 gone. i havent got my vr going yet (11/06/05) but the most iv dun is 125mph in a 2.0 8v vento, not really that gud. so if any1 wud like to share with me their top speed, then that wud great. !amazed

Just under 150 Mph on the A2 coming back from Bluewater - was going for 150Mph but saw a police car coming down the slip road so slammed the brakes on took it out of gear ( No Noise!) and pulled over to the hard shoulder for a minute or so to get a bit of distance between myself and the cops & to let a couple of cars past :0) Very lucky!

yeah, if the cops gets let off cause he has special trainig, then surely i can use that excuse? (i have had extensive tuition at silverstone race school) lol

as for top speed, i've seen 152 indicated (on flat, and still going!)...on a test track of course.

I heard that the vectra was actually doing 138, as the camera was not calibrated, but then again I may be talking out my arse.

140 indicated on M45 (ace m'way, onlyl aboy 12 miles long, no cars, no police)

Off the clock in my Corrado VR with Schrick and 268s. Was behind a 330Ci going flat out on the new section of M6 (very smooth!), so I was doing at least 155mph (as that's their maximum) and had a very small bit left to overtake the Bimmer....but didn't bother as I would have passed embarrassingly slowly!

Have to be careful with the steering at those speeds though.

i had 125(kph);0 out of mine chasing "on a track" a corrardo vr6. the previous owner said he had 145 out of it. also raced a saab 95 tdi and was all over it like a rash, it was painfuly slow then i realised it was a 1.9!!

all those who have had 150+ out of there vr, they must be tuned right?
