Ticked another box for owning my Ultima

over 200 can be vary scary indeed!
The slightest twitch and it goodbye johnny!

Presumably you made sure you had a couple of day's worth of hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner to be sure you were 'proper-bunged-up' before the event?



Of course the 'tarmac' you used was an old airfield or track, wasn't it?

....cos you would NEVER even THINK of doing speeds like that on the road, would you?

...and of course the GPS DIDN'T show where exactly your location when the event happened because that bit wasn't working was it?

Hi yes it felt light towards the top end but if anything it went slightly more lighter when i backed off the throttle. Not scary but enough to notice. Mine hasnt got a rear wing so dont know if that would of made it more stable and/or stopped me getting there atall ? ? ?

Where did it feel light, front or back? Wing would help keep the back on the ground and a front splitter would help the front if you don't have one?

nice one! I cant get past 180 because of my low revs and standard grearing but that was scary enough. But it was very stable and felt solid as a rock - which was encouraging! So you going to do that Vmax thing now? or have you already done it?

yesterday afternoon i did it i actualy pulled 207 mph gps loged. For obvious reasons on an open forum i cant go into detail where i did it but it was a lenght of tarmac i have messued out a good few times over the last 2 and a half years and obsevered what is around , iv taken photos of said sat nav.


Sorry to say this mate, and I'm sure a few others are thinking it, congrats on achieving 200+ but if you did it on a public road then you're a t**t. I love driving fast, as do many others on this forum, but there is a place for it and it is called a TRACK !. Driving at 3 times the speed limit on public roads and bragging about it just gives a bad name to fast/supercar owners.
If I have misread your post then I apologise.

Can you give us a basic rundown of your setup please? Power, gear ratios, tyres and the like.

Obviously nobody condones wreckless driving, but speed doesn't kill (despite what the government says). Most of us value our own and others' lives, yet speed, because we calculate the risks. Tripling the speed limit is not very different to halving it, as long as you're safe.
I would have been way more than doubling the UK speed limit on the way to work every day, but luckily in Germany they let you take the responsibility to do it. I didn't have or cause any accidents in a couple of years of doing 170mph, twice per working day (except in snow). In the UK I would have been a criminal, and in Germany I was a commuter.

If you've never sped, then you're entitled to that opinion. If you have, then you could be the t**t. If I have misread your post then I apologise.
