Who's done the fastest top speed in a Coupe?
Drag strip or runway.
I managed 175mph at Bruntingthorpe with quite a bit more to go, but was afraid my tyres would pop so backed off.

I was cruising along quite happily and I saw a red thing appear in the mirror. I gunned it. He kept it coming and so did I, faster and faster we went.. ...then I realised i'd missed my turning

52 mph on the back of a recovery truck last Thursday. Hated every minute of it especially when it pulled outside my house with the neighbours watching.
Fast as FCCUK.org

179.9mph on gps for me I take it thats a 6-speeder.. More likely, it'll be due to a (signficantly) raised rev-limit.
F****** b****** thing...

Barbz has a 5 speeder and so have I.
Trappy you're right, it's due to a raised rev limit, not the gearbox.
Flea said with the gearing and revs, I could most likely do close to 200mph.

Guys, please don't incriminate yourselves by admitting to speeding on UK roads, the thread will be deleted if it carries on. I meant on the autobahn, again, no worries!
