Highest speed you've achieved in your Griff

[lazyitus]

Just interested.

I achieved an indicated 160mph in my 500 at Bruntingthorpe with some left.

( Naturally, I'm sure the speedo is not 100% accurate so it could have been as fast as 170 )

What's your 'score' ?

[Bluebottle]

Bouncing off of the rev limiter in 5th gear along Kemmel straight at Spa

I think it was set at 6700 rpm at the time with blown 5.2. Proir to that as a NA car I would be weazing into the breaking zone at around 5250 rpm.

That's all well and good. But what speed were you doing ?

Buggered if I know, I was too busy staring wide eyed out of the windscreen trying to keep it on the grey stuff to worry about the speedo, which lies anyway

70 mph obviously....

145 on radar detector not on speedo speed with roof down, Was like being in a tornado.

My shift light is set at 5600rpm and I've had it light up in 5th and was probably another 200rpm through that by the time I backed off . . .

I've no idea of the speed, but someone with the ratios could do a sum couldn't they ?

270 Kmh reading on the speedometer on an italian motorway, back in the '98.
The Griffith felt like going to take off at any moment...

[RichB]

Done 145-150 roof on and it felt steady enough...

[Podie]

Have a recollection the top speed recorded by a Griff during Vmax (with timing beams) was about 150mph.

Del was certainly hitting the rev limiter in 5th...



ETA - was 156mph

Indicated 170mph, roof down....mind you we are talking about a TVR speedo so that probably means about 60mph then

70 MPH ...... Honest, no bull

[Barreti]

155 roof down and 2 up in Johno's on a track day

He was driving though

Thats some feat when you consider the combined weight of me and the grinning idiot next to me

We're going to have to do it again Johno

Anything above that, the exhaust would drown out the Robbie tape playing in the background

[ladygooddriver]

153mph Road Angel - roof off, still more left. Might have squeezed it to a RA verified 160mph.

[Hoover.]

A contradiction if ever I saw one.

[ladygooddriver]

I always thought Road Angel were a good name for such a product, but the irony of being carried to heaven is somewhat worrying considering Blackspots intention were for the angels to protect you, lol.
