Gaz6002 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Syed, I'm afraid I have to use this smiley... Even at an indicated 185MPH on a private runway the car felt very stable, I've done 140-150 on numerous occasions and certainly wouldn't call it uncontrollable. This is the first time I've seen a Supra's aero being called dodgy whilest being compared to a skyline too Mine felt planted when racing a train in France at 160mph+ and i've been waaaaay over that on a fair few occasions. I can't see how the aerodynamics of a Skyline could possibly be better than a Supras? Both being stock of course. We all know Supras can be made to exert huge downforce when modified (properly).

Ian C Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm sure Syed was being sarky I've been the 'wrong' side of 180mph a few times and it's always felt rock solid At TOTB4 I checked all my gauges without looking where I was going at 170mph+ as once in 6th gear I was bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 LOL you missed it I'm sure Syed was being sarky I... I... missed sarcasm in a post... I... don't know what's come over me. I need a lie down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i Didnt think we spoke in MPH on this web site lol , isnt it leptons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 it's got to be km... I drive that road all the time and the average speed of most of the traffic is quite high prob just under a tonne but there's no way you could get up to 200 with traffic! just watch the top secret run on the same road and it's obviously not a similar speed. That's why you never see the road when he's doing anywhere near top speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 It takes quite a bit to get 200mph, Top Secret couldn't get 200mph in there Supra when they brought it over, that was on the deserted A1 at night, yet this Skyline can do it no probs through traffic.....bollox! The owner of Top Secret was arrested for being clocked at 200mph in a supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The owner of Top Secret was arrested for being clocked at 200mph in a supra. Smokey Nagata, and no he wasn't, I think he only managed 191MPH or something like that, and he was "clocked" at a much lower speed when he was actually caught.

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Smokey Nagata was done for doing around 130 I believe and no they didn't get to 200 that night.... I think when he was prosecuted it was even lower than that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hmmm... I'm a doubter too on this one, although the camera's shaky, I'd say it's still way too stable and clear for 200mph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 It amazes me how many people on the forum have actually driven at 200mph and comment on how the car handles at those speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 It amazes me how many people on the forum have actually driven at 200mph and comment on how the car handles at those speeds True, fastest ive ever been in a car was an indicated just over 180 but that speedo was 15mph out according to my satnav, that was in my supra and felt very stable. Fastest ive ever been on a bike is and indicated 190 (ZX10r with nos)and that also felt very stable:) I still think that vid is real, if it was kph he would be in something like 3rd gear, you can clearly see from the vid he is in top gear at 7500rpm, probs a real 180ish imo:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie72 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 200kHM skyline - wow! If that's 200mph i have done 300 leptons on the A1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 you can clearly see from the vid he is in top gear at 7500rpm, probs a real 180ish imo:) How can you see he's in top gear? Maybe he's in 3rd/4th and accelerating slightly slower to give the impression he's in 5th?... (Just a thought, not a bitch!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 169 mph on gamin sat nav possibily 2 or three miles left but the supra wont go any faster without modifying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm with Jamie & Bobbeh on this, I've been in numerous 911TT's and big AMG's at big big speeds and that vid looked real to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mattsupra Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 fastest i have been is 186 on a bike when i was 19yrs old lol was sooooo good i have never been without a bike since lol but in a car is a little bit less than that even so my mate did have a full gtr r33 with full everything on that and it did over 200mph pretty easily upto it and then on it was full on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 cant help thinking something is not quite right with the vid. i have done 190 leptons in my 300zx and thats much more aerodynamic than a 34 gtr and the wind noise at 150+ is massive so at 200 mph i doubt you would be able to hear the engine never mind them talking like there doing 30mph??

Thorin Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I don't know whether it's 200MPH or not, I never did watch the video and can't view it at work, but people always say, "the lines would look more blurred", or "it would sound louder" etc. but camera lenses and microphones record things differently than human eyes or ears.
