Hi guys

I like driving fast and because I live near the german boarder I often get over there to flat out my car.

Fastest I have been was in a rented Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 V6 doing 255 km/h (159 mph) on the Autobahn A81 between Singen and Stuttgart.

Here are the links to the pics:

I have driven several cars until today and of course I ve seen topspeed and made pics from all of them (You can see all of them on http://come.to/need4speed). Here are the figures:

Seat Leon 1.8 T 20V, 240 km/h
Volvo S60 2.4 A, 225 km/h
Fiat Punto GT, 225 km/h
Opel Astra Caravan 1.6, 210 km/h
Renault Clio 1.4, 202 km/h
Mazda 121, 180 km/h
VW Beetle, 136 km/h

Send in also pics of your car to prove how fast you have really been.

many regards
Michael

go faster!

I have gone 90 in my 325xi. I have never had the courage to go over the 100 mark!
I have a 95 Corolla and I've done 100 in it! If I had a 325 or any 3 series for that matter I'd be going a LOT faster all the time! Use your power for the people who don't have it!

I was going 92 in a 45. But since the time I posted my first message, I have gotten up to 115 on the same stretch of road.

how fast I've driven?

In my younger years - had a pinto that would do 120.
Got a ticket doing 128 in a '71 LTD - didn't know that things that big could go that fast!
Biggest rush was doing over 145 in a Datsun 260Z. Took forever to get it stopped!
Just got rid of a '70 Mustang I had in Japan - Old, but it'd still do 120 when I could find a road big enough and clear enought to open it up on.

140 kp/h, this was my toyota corona btw... along a moderate stretch of backstreet at 2am in the morning... handled like a tank past 100 but she got there in the end...

i've also done 130 in my friends chrysler galant (its little 1.5L was SCREAMING!!)... the backstreet has a few kerbs that you have to slow down for, so i popped it back to 3rd, the engine kicked up a few thousand revs, tyres were screaming (coz they were bald)... its pretty much stopped me from doing stuff like that again... or until i can get a car thats meant to perform well at high speeds...

this was all done a few days after i got my liscence, so i was fairly inexperienced at the time...

i've buried the needle in my civic way past te 130mph @ like 6200 rpm. so i'd say somewhere around 140 something.

115 in a 25 once before on a road called rollercoaster hill. it goes downhill and then up sharply giving the feeling of riding a coaster. the G forces are INTENSE.

110 chasing a mustang on ocean ave. (30mph zone) i proceeded to pass him on a turn at about 80mph.

170+ on a friends 'busa when i questioned its capability of speed. i felt it had more but i was NOT about to go any faster. (i was scared shitless as it was)
