Can't imagine why markbe has posted this thread.

He seems to have forgotten the Rufs though

Surely they must have had a crack around there at some time or other?

Hi Burr', Only have figs from Autocar,I'm sure the 'Ruff Team' will have an idea of their
cars V max and will post accordingly. Also, maybe someone has access to the top speeds at Ehra Leissen,they would make interesting reading added to the list.

Hi Daz, you don't think I'm being 'speedest' do you,

The Veyron took over 4 miles & Vmax is 1.5 miles seems a bit pointless too compare.

[Muncher]

VX220 2.2 140mph

[wizzpig]

wasn't that were they maxed a Macca F1 at 240.1?

[anniesdad]

Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer......253mph.



Although I seem to recall the actual car that did it, had a bigger front air intake than the car in this picture?

[Plotloss]

VXT 140mph, you cheeky bugger.

151mph and that was at Brunters!

(Mind you, in all honesty I dont think it would go that much faster at Leissen)

For the RUF's its easy.

SL600 Kleeman + 1mph

Blimey! That's lazer verified too. That must have a very long final ratio!?

[Plotloss]

Out of the box

Ish

RUF RT12 650 = 225mph
RUF R Turbo 590(550)= 220mph (217mph)(nb with the longer sixth gear, without its 205)

But we're not talking about V.Max are we!

Leissen is 5 miles long ... it's just a bit of fun.

[adamt]

Oops,

[GuyR]

Mine is gearing limited with the standard 6th gear, it has hit the rev-limiter in Germany very easily at about 210mph I believe.

Adam, ref RT12 is that with the tall or standard 6th,
i heard recently they clocked a 363km/h with the short 6

p.s i was at Donington GP circuit yesterday with Guy and thinking of you nearby (studying hard no doubt), i love this car.....through the Kramer curves at over 120mph...man those wide hips produce unreal cornering speeds...feels rather quick on the straights aswell
