MR2 turbo = damn fast!

[Driftlimits Performance]

I've had it as far as it'll go. Only restricted by lack of power, so not the gearboxes max of 172. Thats was racing a Fairlady on that 3 lane private road Suprisingly enough, I was gaining slightly all the way from 100mph upwards.

[projectprelude]

hit 160mph a few times.

[shafster]

been in a supra cruising at 165mph for a good 5-10 minutes down the M3 motorway

did 140mph with the roof off in the mr2 about 3 years ago down the M1, that was a bit scary when traffic was popping up suddenly ahead. havent been that high in the mr2 since

[screech]

165 on the speedo at 6.5k rpm, not flat out. according to my gps thingy my speedo is about 5mph out at 130 but never had gps when doing 165

must of been very noisey with the roof off!

only ever taken it to 201mph!!!

na, been up to 145mph on many occasion on the motorway (when i was running with the 360 ferrari, SEE VS POST).
have done that speed a few times, but always crap it and slow right back down! if hit 150mph once, but dont think id have the guts to go any faster!!

ps, one of the 145mph was on a tightish motorway bend!! (had smelly trousers afterwards, lol)!

[F1 on M1]

Just under 130 In a non/turbo Celica Gti
125 On a Rev 2 But only had it for a week, Funny enough it felt more noisy and less tight then the Celica.. And i`ve had a look under the car it looks fine.. must be the road surface

[TomThumb]

139 mph, on the way to silverstone.
had to slow down because of traffic, front steering felt very light

[Hellboy]

[Mark Edwards]

You're all idiots. Speeding is nothing to be proud of.

I topped my rev1 box out at a gps verified 155mph at totb last year.

[^Trickster^]

Ive done 6500rpm in 5th on 235/40/17 rear tyres so whatever that works out to as my speedo stops at 110mph lol, stupid import clocks! My driveway started to bend so I let off but it was still pulling really well, and I dont care what anyone says, the concentration is immense at those speeds, your looking at instant death if anything happens.
