Fastest recorded speed?

**Ryan** · 13-12-2007, 06:25 PM

OK, there are some fast VR-4's owned by various people on this site. Unfortunately my humble white PFL is not one of them.

I would be interested to see what maximum recorded speed everyone's done - don't have to post proof or anything, I'm just curious to see how fast these cars *can* go.

**Rikki** · 13-12-2007, 08:35 PM

According to my speedo, I have hit 149mph (240kph). Never been checked by gps.
Oh and thats in the V6 Sport.

There are some fast cars here!

Absolutely no idea. Never had enough tarmac and the right surroundings to have a go.

I know that when it changes from 4th to 5th (at about 130mph) the acceleration slows down. I guess you would need a fair distance after that to get to 160/170.

mine still has the speed cut but ive wound hit it at about 4500rpm so still had **** loads to go

Yup...

**Oblivion** · 16-12-2007, 06:54 AM

My speedo only reads up to 180km/h and I've gone a fair bit past that. I'd guess at least around 200km/h at the end of 4th gear, probably getting an Apexi RSM soon for more accurate speeds.

So I'm guessing by WODJNO's and Rikkis's posts some VR4's have speedos that read up to 280?

**bradc** · 16-12-2007, 09:13 AM

Their speedos are in miles, so they go up to 160 or 180mph.

Mine is a proper 260kmh speedo though

**santa222** · 16-12-2007, 10:05 AM

mines 260kph speedo 2

**Fully** · 16-12-2007, 10:51 AM

190km before it started to cough and splatter.

**valmes** · 16-12-2007, 11:24 AM

240 kph by Apexi RSM. 180++++++++ by speedo

**Paul Beazer** · 16-12-2007, 07:25 PM

Havent dared go as fast a Rikki in my sport. My nerves always fold at 021mph!

**Kieran** · 16-12-2007, 07:34 PM

My porter Cable's fastest speed is '6'. I always bottle out of running it at that speed - Usually 4 or 5 is fast enough for my polishing needs!

**bradc** · 16-12-2007, 08:47 PM

santa - you obviously have a nz new car then, I bought that sort of speedo from Ralliart, and it works fine

**santa222** · 17-12-2007, 06:03 AM

**bradc** · 17-12-2007, 06:46 AM
