Must have been about 10 or 11 years ago, I had a Cavalier SRI as a relief car while my usual one was being serviced. Just for the hell of it I put my foot down while on the A2 just past Canterbury in the direction of Dover and hit 120mph, cr@pped myself and eased back after a few seconds as the car felt like it was going to take off every time it hit a bump... Just goes to show that under all the trim, it's still just a Vauxhall Cavalier...

Did the ton (according to the speedo) on the SV shortly after I got it just so I could say that I had been there but not conciously been back since. That was on the A21 near Sevenoaks one Sunday evening.

128MPH on a deserted air strip not unlike the A3 past Longmoor in Hampshire. That was on my old carbed Y model.

The K5 has seen 83MPH (thats 6000RPM in 6th

, and will see no more for another 450 miles.

Ahh, speeds great isn't it.

Bravo to monkey and leesimmons lol.

Best on the SV has been 137 (on the clock) so far (it was still acellerating just, but then I had to turn off), and thats my only way of getting about, and my fastest bike so far!

Have been 160 (clock) on the back of my dad's old GSX-R, and sat next to him in the car giggling like a small boy at 170.

Obviously all these measurements are in feet per hour......

94mph on my 33BHP SK3. If i lay on the tank i recon it will do 100

11 months until my restriction is up..Yey

Ah, yeah, forgot to mention the bike is 33bhp restricted right now, so it's possible that later this year the 102mph may be bettered...

100 mph = 33hp. it's an educated guess using i dunno as a coeffiecient of friction..

I keep rereading that, and I still don't quite understand it.

Hmmm well, the SV's indicated some pretty fast speeds, but I'm sure that the reality of the situation was very different.

I've averaged 125mph over 4 hours trying to get to Calais through France. That includes petrol stops

I think I maxed my car at 136mph, which is the first time I've got a car to indicate it's manufacturer's claimed top speed.

Other than that... I'm not admitting to anything!

131mph on a stock k4 650s
thought i was going fast till a daytono 955i shot passed on tickover..

had it dyno'd at max 138, but thats with no wind resistance.
