275kph in a 612 Scaglietti on the Bruntingthorpe runway.

Fastest I've ever felt was 90mph squirming in the wet under the Donington Dunlop Bridge shifting into third. Don't drop the clutch on semi-slicks when you're on boost - scary.

140mph in an Evo MR FQ-400 and a Porsche 993.

I'm proud to say that the 1.4 Civic pulled 120 mph!

My betting is that it felt more like 120 million mph!

It was bloody surreal. We had a Mondeo flashing us, too. I'd have thought that 120mph was fast enough, to be honest...

210km/h in the Mini. At 210km/h it kind of hits a "barrier" and refuses to go any faster...

Limiter? I'd've thought an S would be able to go faster than 210kmh

i got 130 in the mini. i know or peole doing 135, but it woudl take forever to get there. the trek from 120 to 130 takes what seems like forever. when you have the aerodynamics of a school bus, it doesnt like to accelerate at those speeds.

and Ferrer, I didn't realize that you were a fellow S owner.

Alittle over 100+ MPH in my camry. It scared the hell out of me! I was weaving in and out of traffic. I had to slam on my breaks and stop my speeding spree because some dumb semi-truck swerved into my lane!
