I did 128miles (GPS not odometer, about 206km) in an hour on a Yamaha Super Tenere on a long boring day.
It’s way slower to go that fast on a bike even with a big tank, fuel consumption so much higher you end up stopping more for fuel and thats what really kills time touring. Even a perfect stop still eats five+ minutes at zero and a lotta time it’s more like ten. Kinda fun math lesson when you pass the same super slow moving MG twice on the same day.
Was a fun exercise anyway, never tried it any other time - was in a very long very open very flat area pretty remote. Curious if any other OG gear heads have tried something similar and what the results were. Especially curious if anyone’s approached 300K (186mph). I bet 150 honest GPS miles in a real hour is pretty damn difficult.
Nice, couple very different GM cars. Never drove or even rode in a cobalt SS but remember car and driver being impressed with it at their Lightning Lap.
I did like 190km in my first car (118 mph) it was a 2001 Lexus is300, I could have pushed her harder but it was the middle of the afternoon on a highway I wasn’t familiar with… so in short I bitched out
156 driveing friends 85 mustang with him payback my 1st car 1987 topaz 4 cylilder had it about 130mph down hill thought she was going to blow red line burried read 15 mph back around.
180kph on a 750 motorcycle. Could have gone faster but it was too scary.
Mrs Foreigner has gone 220kph on the autobahn.
The fastest scariest thing I’ve ever done on a bike was going 130 on a bike designed to go only 100ish The damned thing was shaking and in danger of flying apart.
Love all the burst speed reports, but let me clarify something. I’m asking how many miles you’ve gone in a road vehicle in an hour. For example in my 128 mile run, a lot of that was in the 140s mph on the dash. But in an hour, I think it was around 1-2PM, I traveled 128 actual miles.
@jetdro love that mustang, I had a 2013 GT I really enjoyed. All black, cloth seats, regular wheels, six speed stick. I think the only option was a 373 rear end (shorter/quicker gearing). Second year of the coyote 5.0, first year of the “shark” hood. Was a ton of fun at stoplights, pretty decent road tripper, great stereo, loved third/forth gear backroads. Girls even liked it! They never “wanted” to like it at first, I always dated environmental friendly nerd types, but the v8 wins everyone over eventually.
Biggest gripe was the center console, my elbow fell directly on the “open” button about a thousand times. Who’s desk did that get past, Ford?!!! Hahaha.
Right now I’m buzzing around at 67 000 mph inside a cluster fuck of stars traveling 1.3 million mph. So I’ve (we’ve) all gone really, really far in the last hour.
Would love to say “BS!” but I don’t know enough to know…
…but I DO know that’s nowhere near enough contact patch on the rear to actually use 800 horsies. and it’s kinda incompatible with keeping things on the downlow.
In the first few gears maybe, but at speed you use all that power. Drag is exponential, you need a lot of power to get from 150 to 160mph. The jump up to 170/180 even more drastic.
diner on the NY state line to almost the rhodiasland conn state line 100 miles one hour very expensive as i was stopped just before rhode island oops on a ZX 1000 i totaled about 6 months later
My buddy and I drove 44 miles straight down I5 Albany to Eugene. 67 Chevelle in 22 mins. I didn’t drive, I was shitting pants in the passenger seat. 3AM no headlights on. We were both 18. So stupid!!!
almost annihilated my boss’ 150$k Audi
