Y2kV70R Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Ok, I've put off posting in this topic because I don't have a 04+..... Any way134 MPH - Me and a c5 playing coming over the double decker south of Lincon Financial field. Didn't even realize how fast I was going until I got down by the airport and looked down and saw that what I thought was about 110, was approaching the end of the speedo. Loved it. Very stable. Won't do it again though. I regulary run spurts on I276 and I476 up to 100-105, and even that is enough to cause you alot of problems should you get caught. I did drive 155(ish, calculated gear ratio, diff ratio, tire circumfence) once. It was friggin scary ('87 Tbird)!!!!-Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEJinFBK Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 My speedo only goes to 140. So, I'm going to say... 140. I'm sure that the car couldn't possibly go any faster than that, certainly not on an arrow-straight highway in remote Colorado. Never happened.OF Course. Absolutely. Gotta be a physical impossibility!Not to mention, just plain wrong. You could put an eye out.Hey, Look! Over there, officer...A baby wolf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petew Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 How fast have you driven your V70R ?at the New Garden airport, just a few hundred meters from my house, I was hanging around watchin' some guy pull his sailplane out of a trailer.it was interesting to me, because I had been a hang glider pilot for several years, and because this guy's trailer was attached to a late-model, high-end Mercedes.his wing...was all sleek and seamless. white ... and barely big enough for human habitation. as he assembeled it, he taped every gap and crease.it was, more beautiful than the most beautiful woman i could imagine it looked like it would cut you without a soundit was a perfect dayperfectuntil I went up to him and asked... thinking I would show how much I knew about gliding and that I was a "member of the club" ...."...Hi.... what is the glide ratio of your wing ?

R squared Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I ran an indicated 158 or so mph on an unlimited stretch of Autobahn A6. Garmin GPS read 255 kph, or 159.3 mph. Stock 2007 model with 43,000 miles. Very smooth, no drama on an excellent stretch of highway. Speedometer calibration is very close to GPS at all speeds.

Tzantushka1568908311 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 ...unlimited stretch of Autobahn A6...Nice! I find the A6 gan get busy during certain times.It's further north, but the A31 is great on a cold morning.(virtually no traffic seeing as it is in the middle of nowhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guelphv70r Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I was in Stratford and picked up some 98 Octane. So my brother in law and I headed out on the back roads and got up to 150mph or so. The car pulled hard all the way and was rock solid. My wife and daughter have both had the car up to 120-130 mph. Quite illegal but on back roads with no traffic. Never get that fast on the track, 110-120 on the straight, tight turn before quarter mile straight and then hard right. (Shannonville, ON) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scandia1568908312 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Have had the 06 up to 155 felt very planted. The BSR tune, Eibachs & IPD track spec sway's made it a pleasure to run up to that speed.................Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRL Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 ONE time, many years ago (ECU flashed, speed limiter removed) indicated 160!Who knows what it really was and yes, it was on a long, slightly downhill interstate run,zero traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 On my friends S60R MT the speedo showed a needle over 260km/h/161mph but I really don't know what was the true GPS speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckavolvo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 A fun run outside of Death Valley, Very smooth and in control, with more to go, I was coming up on trafic and SAFTY is always key. I find it better to focus on the road and not the spedo. Loggin is the best way.2006 V70RD/p Cat back CAI, ARD light weight pully Snaab intake Rica stage II 100 octane fule 60FRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
