Default How Fast Has your c4 taken you?

Top end runs?

Lets hear how fast she runs. Don't wanna know if it was legal or not .. Its a don't ask don't tell policy on this thread.


My fastest was 145 - so the speedo said,

But even faster then that, my 2000 ZX9 Ninja , which I sold to buy my vette. Blitzed 155 easy with that , and there was plenty left, just not in me.

You might be careful with this thread, there are some people who think street racing is acceptable when the risk is evaluated, there are others who think it's not right under any circumstances.

I'll avoid either of those and just post the number : 113

I did'nt say ANYTHING about street racing.

I just wanna know the numbers. Wether its on the track, off a cliff, or down the road.


But i do understand where their comming from.

I want to avoid the debate myself.

115 was the fastest I saw at Putnam Park this friday, maybe got a little higher but I preferred to watch for the distance markers before turn 1 (the spec miata drivers called it a bend, ha, they can take it at 75+MPH, I couldn't).

Man one of these days i am gonna find a BIG track to run on. When i was doing the road corse thing with my 5.slow . The tracks were usually 1/2-1 mile or so, with the smallest being 1/4 !! Very short , very tight and not that fast... maybe 60mph or so.

162, 140 yesterday with the hatch-vent on, thought the rear weatherstrip was going to fly off! Il'l do a speed run only when all contitions are perfect, this usually only happens once or twice a year.
