How fast have you driven yours?

[esso]

I have no doubt this question has been asked before but i have owned a Cerb for 6 & half years now and i have lost count of how many times i have been asked how fast it goes and how fast i have driven it.The fastest i have driven mine is 165 mph......on a track of course..........and at that speed i`m starting to let a little bit of p** out.The reason i have not driven it faster is because i haven`t driven it anywhere where i have had the opportunity to go faster.
Now.....as we are all mature Cerb owners i expect some truthful answers to this.....we will soon spot the b*lls******s! and if you have driven yours quicker did you honestly feel safe in it at that speed???

This has been done before. :-) On a private road in France I stupidly hit indicated 185 and that was scarey. Bottomed out at nearly 150 which was 'orrible! Worse though was I had fitted new pads and discs before I left and they had glazed which meant braking pretty much disappeared!

I have had around the 150 mark and ran out of space on the track of course.

to add it felt sold. 100% better than the chim that was plain scary at anything over 120 lol

Was a passenger in Ceejays at 174 & still accelerating but ran out of space on the Bruntingthorpe straight.

At the moment only about 120 on my nearest track but that's because the bloody bonnet keeps popping open at that speed. Soon to be sorted though so I can stretch her legs a bit more.
I do love the mystique over the top speed though, nobody really knows, all we know is that it's plenty.

My profile picture proves the 165 at Bruntingthorpe. Had a fair bit left but ran out of track....

[Tyre Smoke]

I had an indicated 180 on the final straight bit at the 'Ring.

Have been close to that on a deserted autoroute back from Le Mans one year, but was twitching like mad - me not the car!! Never again, on a road that is.

[Tanguero]

171 and still accelerating at the speed trap at RAF Woodbridge. The organisers left far too much slowing down space...

[spongy]

80 on the way home when i bought her.......think she would have gone faster but ran out of road.;)think it was the m5

Was that on the full Bruntingthorpe back straight??...because i could only manage 165 and that was on the shortened track....went out with my mate in his LS7 Sagaris and he got 171 on the shortened track.

I've took my taimar to 90 but the cover on the rear blew up and brought all the carpet up... at that point i gave up. (after today Im glad i did... i found a few bolts loose!!!)

If ever there was a thread made for Brummie.....

[Onzlouk]

We had the silver one at nearly 180 while racing a Bentley Continental GT on the straight at the Nurburgring.....Good times The shift light and buzzer worked a treat!

I just thought exactly the same

[RUSSELLM]

168 on satnav/timing gear at Vmax

[DWix]

Somewhere between 170 and 175 down the autobahn, braking for gentle motorway corners was a new experience as was looking way out in front for people pulling out

[camel_landy]

Approx 135mph but pleasantly suprised at how stable she was.
