top speeds.....

[paul capri]

I had my capri off the clocks (140) very much doubt it was near that figure though. Parked up and police came flying in 5 mins later, he said "We where behind you on the dual carriage-way doing well over 100 and we couldn't catch you"

 

I looked at their 07 plate focus diesel and said "well you won't in that" he actually laughed!

[immingham]

Had the civic showing 151mph on the sat nav, 157mph on the speedo

XR2 showing 93mph on the sat nav, 100mph on the speedo (felt like 201mph though ) didn't want to push it too hard, its a long way to push it home

 

[evil knievel]

I think i got the capper up to about 4mph when i was turning it round

[mk2 escy ron]

haven't driven mine yet

[YOUNGY]

i had 95 mph out of my 1600e (standard) well thats what it said on the speedo and it didn't seem to take to long to get there,i don't think it would have done any more though.

[escortwithsunroof]

95 out of the GT tina estate, K&N and thats it

 

85 out of the 1600 Ghia Auto 3 speed, K*N and 4 branch exhaust

[PIG]

fast

[mk1super]

In the mk1 110mph with a different diff i think it would do more Time i felt closest to death pillion on my mates ZZR1100 when he wondered what it would do 2 up

[EscortHeadCase]

I think we need to hear from some of the cosworth and v8 powered members in here........

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i once just hit 130 but as most ford speedos are out i geuss that was wrong

 

probally more like 120

[JP.]

I think we need to hear from some.....and v8 powered members in here........

 

Allready told ya

[bortaf]

130ish in a cortina with a tuined V6 and 5 speed, 15" alloys, speedo was off the clock

On the way to southend on the M25 back in the late 80's

Driven quicker in a cossie and a TT XR4i but they don't count

[tom28]

porbably my old sport wen i booted it from 60 and me speedo would bounce to 100

 

 

fastest i went with me driving as me series 1 mk 3 RS(ino not old skool but still nice for an oldish ford).

 

currently killing my 1300 in fourth gear on many motorsways everyday.

[joe1600]

managed 74mph in my 1100 escort on the way back home after i bought it. my ears were bleeding

[DarrenM]

I think we need to hear from some of the cosworth and v8 powered members in here........

 

152 mph in the Capri at the Classic Ford thrash at Bruntingthorpe. Only went into 5th at 135. Plenty left but doing that speed towards imovable giant concrete blocks is a bit hairy!

[kevmk2]

164mph the other night, leaving a M3 csl behind

The old doors were falpping and everything

That was 7400rpm in 5th gear, red line is 8100rpm, i reckon its got 170-172mph in it on a 3.75 diff ratio and more when and if i fit a 3.44 ratio

[dannysmk1]

1300cc harris engine,had 80mph and still more power but chinkn out

[H.P.E harry]

my mate was following me upto escort tec in my escort and he was in his golf, he was at 100mph and i came tearing past but seeing as my speedo was out im not sure what i was doing

[PIG]

178 in hippies mk1 escort on his gps.

170 in mine on gps on the old engine etc

in both cars these speeds feel like 300mph

[MK2Ed]

Fook knows, daren't look at the thing at high speed, too much vibration and bits falling off - more interested in acceleration and quick corners...

[james1700]

i regularly see mine push past 120 pulling near 7000 rpm in 4th by christ it gets there quick too!

[wolf666]

iv had 130 an it had more in him

[bangar]

in the mk2 cortina with standard 2lt pinto 5speed and 4branch + cherry bomb 115 on satnav,was damn scary lol cruises at a 100 fine

[mad-max1977]

me v8 crapa got 2 131mph on sat nav very quick so shit me self and slowed up but what a buzz

[l j shaw]

165 mph in a 30 zone, on the autobahn (roadworks)................followed by a nice letter from the Polizi and a pic...........they informed me it was a prison sentence if they could prove it was me at this speed when you pass a trabant the wind pressure pushes him onto the hard shoulder
