200 Mph On The Road

  1. Good skills ! :)
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  2. Exactly my point. An RS6 won't get to a real 200mph. And an M5 is a lot more aerodynamic than an RS6 so I can easily believe that.

    And a Nissan GTR is very aerodynamic with a CD of 0.27.
     
  3. They'll be released as it's a driving offence? I hope you don't expect they would be put away until a case is made or not, AFAIK it's the CPS that decide if a prosecution goes ahead or not so.

    Pure conjecture here but looks like someone has 'borrowed' a mates car, one driver two arrests?
     
  4. True, I had my mates GTR (Track ED Nismo) for a few weeks. 0-60 around 3 secs. Book top speed in excess of 190mph. Over 200mph with a mild tune. See stock vs litchfield website.

    I was passed by an RS6 like I was standing still but I was only making good progress at that time.

    I did knock down a gear but couldn't [/ATTACH] 20200125_143741.jpg 20200125_140430.jpg 20200125_140425.jpg 20200125_140419.jpg 20200125_140414.jpg 20200125_140410.jpg 20200125_140405.jpg 20200125_140342.jpg

  6. I ‘raced’ two different RS6’s at a Vmax event at Bruntingthorpe. I was in a Porsche 997.2 turbo and hammered them. That said, nothing launches quite like a 911 turbo.

    Except a 720S :laughing:
     
  7. those 720s’s are ridiculous
     
    • Agree Agree x 1

  8. I’ll be surprised if they can nail them for much unless they’ve been stupid enough to keep evidence or upload direct to the web from their device
     
  9. Guess it will depend on what was said during 'interview' and if they can hold the story. Seems odd that 2 persons are involved it what on the face of it would be a driving matter?
     
    • Agree Agree x 1

  10. I think it’s the police ‘flexing’ the whole ‘we can find you’ thing

    but let’s see if they can actually do anything
     
    • Agree Agree x 1
  11. I recon they fitted the clocks out of my old ZX6R, that used to do an indicated 190 all day long :joy:

  12. When, not if, it’s just a matter of time when they catch up with him. He is facing a custodial sentence of at least 2 years and 4 yr driving ban, and a hefty fine.
     
  13. If they can prove it

    I’ve known people get off very light at 160+
     
  14. Now someones got to break 300mph on a british road. Gawd'
     
  15. Not if they were on a bike... don’t forget your toothbrush going to court....;)
