Would you ....?

[syncropaddy]

Would you plant the right foot on a speed limitless German Autobahn? Would you bring it to the max?

 

[Naraic]

Probably, just the once.

 

[television]

I did last year on the A1 with the SL500 at 155 mph, this year I only made 135

I must be getting old

 

[Gkinghorn]

So that would appear to be the target you have set me now Malcolm...

 

[mersum1es]

Did it (brought my MB myself from Germany), but couldn't get the my max (243km/h) because traffic and I believe locals didn't push at maximum yet bcause it was March. But got 217 km/h according the GPS. And between Schleswig - Hamburg my average speed was 156km/h.

Of course I jolly well would!
Daft question.

I know I'm a big wus but no I wouldn't.100 mph would probably be enough for me for a short while.I dont like speed but i do like acceleration.

i know what you mean peter:lol:...im sure you would take it to 120...personally i doubt i would do much more than that..155MPH sounds scary as hell:lol:

I have been 170mph on the back of a bike in France. It was very very scary !!!!!
I was only 22 at the time and thought it was time up

 

[cleverdicky]

Would you plant the right foot on a speed limitless German Autobahn? Would you bring it to the max?

I do every time I go out anywhere in mine.

But with a 1.8 I have to

 

[Triv]

I was fortunate enough to have an R107 500sl at 21 years of age. A good few years ago, when there were far fewer cars on the road.
I reckon it might be possible to do an indicated 150mph from where the a38 becomes the m5 on one side of Exeter to the motorway services on the other.

 

[syncropaddy]

Ok then, you bunch of speed hungry holigans .... would you do it in France?

 

[Triv]

Might have done...

 

[Cole@MBS]

Did the max in a SL55 in M/K on a training course.......

Come to think of it, the M27 is my play ground!!!!!!!!!!

 

[television]

So that would appear to be the target you have set me now Malcolm...

Doing 155 in that car feels just like 70 to 80, it was very stable and no sensation of speed at all,,, Lilian normally hates anything over 30, but she did not say a word at 155

 

[syncropaddy]

Might have done...

So might I .....

Not bad for a 22 year old even if it was downhill !!

 

[47p2]

I know someone who did 166mph on the M8

You have to be very aware of what is going on around you, it’s often the actions of others that can make this sort of thing end in mess. I'm all for it but wonder about the mentality of others sharing the road. I've often thought of a two tier driver's license, normal and advanced.........

 

[syncropaddy]

Totally agree. I've been an advanced driver for many years. Whilst wringing the last few kph out of the old girl I had to move over for an Audi Estate !! Takes a bit of planning .....
