John Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 just got 130mph out of mine before i came up on some traffic and had to back right off but i can't see it would have done anymore than that anyway. fastest i've ever been in a car although i wasn't driving was 146mph in my uncles cossie, god i love that car, i will have one of my own one day! note: all of the above speeds are indicated on clock only so may not be 100% accurate as u all well know. oh and by the way, officer, i swear all of the above was done on private roads. (honestly it was!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 i've seen the cossie speedo reading over 170mph but you know what these ford speedos are like u sure it wasn't reading in Killometers?! 170mph out of a cossie is gonna be big money spent surely?! i know they aren't the fastest cars on the road by any means and a lot of todays cars will kick ass of one but i still gotta get me one of my own i guess it's childhood memorys of seeing the old touring cars and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
