just out of interest, what is the top speed everyone has seen on there G40 clocks?
i know they are not accurate at high speed and wheel/tyre size comes into it to but am just interested to see.
mine,
up hill = 130mph
on a flat = 135mph
down hill = 141mph with revs off the the red line.
cheers
Mark
130mph
running 175/50/14's
65mmpulley
induction kit
cat back exhaust.
only wat it said on clock..
160mph on the clocks.
Around 150mph on the clocks, slightly scary lol
135, hoping to see 140 when I go to the 'ring next month!
Mines just a Genesis so I my speedo only goes to 120, but I had the needle all the way around until it was pointing vertically down, covering the 'MPH' at the bottom. It was still going but I bottled it.
Obviously all on the track.... ;D
Me, back when it was standard, knocking on the door of 130 downhill, it was struggling to give any more.
156 on gps
145 slip streaming a subaru about 2 years ago, never bothered with top end speed after that to be fair, all the fun to be had 0-60 :-)
The reset pin.

'kin ell Lance, that's tramping on a bit! :o
I did nearly 85mph in my mk2 1043 when I first got it, does that count? ;D
'Seem to remember that video on Youtube when someone hit the limiter in 5th, something like 153mph on the clock. Scary and bloody stupid - but brilliant nonetheless! 8)
yea i admit i was sat right up close behind a escort cosworth though so massive slip stream after that whale tail!
138mph and i chickened out as the road/weather wasnt great!
147 GPS no slip stream.....scary shit.....
Every year at work some guys go to le mans, and last year one of the engineers had just got a fancey evo, brand new thing, and 4 up they saw 170 on the speedo in france. Dunno how accurate that is but its tramming some for sure. Shortly after that he got caught speeding at about 120 and the french po took his liscence off him and wouldnt let anyone go till they got 500 euros in cash.
fastest thing i have been in was a RS500 all singing and dancing gps showed 186mph road angel starts to flash and go nuts at 165 lol!
Had 280kmh in a 911 Turbo years ago on a german Autobahn. was before the days of GPS, so just on Porsche speedo.
i will have to get my finger out and build this other engine which has just over 100 000 miles less on the engine to increase the compresion and get a bit more oumph to try get the 150 mark.
does the atv box get to 150-160mph?
I have only had 120mph out of mine as it has got a GT box in it, does get there quick though!
Is there any way to tell an 8p from an ATV as my car was orginaly a gt but has been g40 converted nt sure wich box I've got though and as I'm doing an engine swap soon if it's an 8p I would like to change it to an atv whilst it's out but the cars not running at the moment are there any markings on the box I can look for ??
130mph with standard wheels/tyres etc until i bottled it must of been a few more mph's left in the ode girl thow,
my mate in a fiat uno turbo at the time had a snooper and that was saying 130
I had 131mph on the clock in the G. Been 160mph on the back of my mates R1.. thats fairly scary!
While we are passing around high speed story. Over 180km towards Calais in France we averaged 140mph in a Porsche 968 convertable two years ago on a "pass bashing" trip to Italy / switzerland with my dad.
