i have done 165 mph in a supra and an s13 and that is not 200mph its maybe 200kmh. sorry to be a dick about it but thay is not 200mph.
Totally nutz, with that traffic and in the day time! :blink:
Nice car :p

Yeah i'd have to agree. He just doesn't seem to be overtaking those other cars that say are doing 70mph.
ROFL 200kph, you can clearly hear him shift into top gear. That is not kph!
sorry got to say :repost:

Wow that's a really nice car. It got up to 180 so quick!
Wonder what would happen if you got caught doing 201 mph on the motorway? 6 months prison sentence and a 8 year driving ban?
Yeah, you'd deffo be made an example of. Massive fine, probably 6 months jail, and banned for a couple of years.

AGREED! Complete BS!
It is often hard to tell top speed on vids, but that traffic really gave that one away. If that car was doing 200mph, everything else was doing 140! :rolleyes:

:( First one though :D
Mate got caught doing 153 on a Honda Blackbird in Scotland (A75 way back to boat).
They also had him at 109 and only did him for that. He got 1 year ban (doesn't apply in NI :p ) and a £800-£900 fine.
Worst thing was, it was my fault as my bike broke down in Penrith and we were hurring to catch the boat :twak:

I have also gotta agree as well I have flashed past traffic in mine at night and lorries are usually the best ways of telling as they generally tend to stick to between 50-56mph. I had an indicated 165 on mine and it was overeading by at least 10 mph and lorries appeared and dissapeared behind me a lot faster than that. Also watch the central reservation and clock how fast that seems to be passing by. It would look a lot faster than that at 200 mph.
I had an indicated 165 on mine
Of course these are all theoretical speeds that we wouldn't do on a public road. :innocent:
No way was that mph, did you see how quick the speedo climbed from 180 to 200?

No of course not its amazing how much that thor box can adjust the speedo back down by :read:
To be fair they never show a view out of the window at anything about 140-150mph, and the only cars passed in the adjacent lane do zip by pretty rapidly. At best it's a badly calibrated speedo conversion I'd say, but it's certainly speeds way beyond a speedo still reading in kph.

Most speedos are out by at least 10% though have to say ya only saw the road at the point where he was well below 200mph but again I have done 185 (speedo leptons) which was obviously someway less than that in reallity and even at 150 the trucks (that are normally limited to somewhere under 60) were not slow enough....nice try though he he (nice car too)
If im correct it looks like the part that turns into the a1m, this is a very fast moving road. i use it every other week to drive to Scunthorpe. its suprising how fast people drive in that stretch.
Why didnt he show the road as he hit 200mph? :( I wanted to see the cars as flew past them!!!

Becase then people would have suggested the video was fast forwarded!! he cant win ;)
He could win if it was genuine. Simple, eh? :)

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!
I dare say hes going over 150, I dunno about 200 mph but top gear at 6-7k revs = fast.

Oh yeah of course unless the sound was dubbed at the start and he is infact at top revs in 4th
So you think someone went to all that time and effort, dubbing the gear shifts, speeding down the A1 for nothing? When he starts filiming and you see the cars flying by hes doing well over 100 to start. It just doesnt appear as quick cos the motorway is 4 lanes wide there. Im sure if it was dual carridgway it would look a lot quicker.

24-12-04, 12:25
OK well watch the video again then. When he passes that lorry which will be doing a max of 60mph the guy pans from the road to the speedo, by the time he gets to the speedo its reading 150 and the engine note doesn't begin to rise until just after the last glimpse of truck shadow goes, it took him about 3.5 seconds to get from the last view of the trucks shadow to that reading so if we estimate conservatively that he was doing 140-145 when you last saw the shadow of the truck that would be pretty close to what speed was indicated as you saw him pass that truck.
Now you tell me if that looks like that truck goes backwards at 90 mph?? It doesn't even look like its going backwards at 70 mph. Now look at the lamposts as he goes past them. At 120 mph (which equates to 53 1/3 metres per second) to pass 1 a second they would have to be spaced out around 53 metres each. He passes approx 6 in 4 seconds. Now I'm no real judge but those posts are far from being 50 metres apart, 30 maybe, which would drop his speed to around 45 metres per second which equates to 101.25 mph very roughly speaking of course cos its measured by eye.

Ok, i know it's a BMW, but here's one doing 188mph/303kph
http://toronto.apm.etc.tu-bs.de/e31/mpegs/300kph.mpg
Now when the bmw overtakes cars compared to the Skyline there's no comparison.
You have to love those German roads :D
I've noticed in the past that when you look through a video camera or binoculars while travelling down the road at 50odd mph, you barely seem to be moving. Why doesn't someone record a video at say 100mph on the motorway and we can review it and see if it 'looks' like 100mph.
Based on that we'd have a good idea of whether he's doing 200mph.
In my 'police video' shot from a T5 that was doing 147 mph it lookd like we are barely going faster than the lorries and vans on the inside lane !!! we tried to use that as defence in court (didnt work) :read: if you took the speed off the bottom it looked like 4 bikes driving quite normally , he is in top going around 7000rpm so that should be way over 160 !!!.
BTW with the manual Diff in mine UNDER READS by around 10mph and thats at 187 :cool:
Dude :thumbs:
Damn, why don't they use a Road Angel or similar....GPS?
I have seen the video and read all the doubting threads on this video.
If you find the stretch of the A1 it was filmed on the Junction from Alconbury Weston to Sawtry B1043 (seen on video and confirmed this by little chef on righthandside). This stretch of road is 3 miles long from slip road to slip road. They complete that section in just over 1 minute.
So times by 60 for an mph and you get 180mph average speed, so I would say yes they are stark raving mad and did achieve 200mph at some point.
:Popcorn: - bit of an old thread this one.....
it took you 3 years to work that out? Nice work!

The video is nearly 2 minutes long though :blink: That brings the average down quite a bit!

Ahh but there is a cut at about 39 seconds the fade is noticeable and the engine noise changes, not a good cut to be fair so can't say it's a true 1 minute run from slip road to slip road :)
3 years later and I was still right then :D
Looks real to me, 7500rpm in top gear:)

I'm a doubter... doesn't look like 200mph to me
Looks like 200 KPH to me.
Wow, my longest running thread :d. I cant remember posting it though :rolleyes:
Crickey blast from the past
Looks and sounds like he's doing 180-200kmh (120mph)....just didn't eletronically convert his speedo...just put an MPH sticker over it.
looks genuine. No cars were seen at the very high speeds, the camera was focussed on the dash only. rather do those speeds in a r34 than a supra too.

Very true. Supra's are pretty much uncontrollable over about 130mph. I guess that is why they were limited to 112mph. V. dodgy aero IMO.

Syed, I'm afraid I have to use this smiley... :conf:
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 ;)

:yeahthat:
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).
Syed, I'm afraid I have to use this smiley... :conf:
LOL you missed it :D
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 ;)
LOL you missed it :D

I... I... missed sarcasm in a post... I... don't know what's come over me. I need a lie down! :D

10-01-08, 11:52
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...

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
10-01-08, 14:21
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...
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...
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:)
200kHM skyline - wow!
If that's 200mph i have done 300 leptons on the A1!

Sounds about right and if so the car is very stable at those speeds.
Blast from the past, back again... lol (Or not so much a blast as we can see :))

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!) :)

169 mph on gamin sat nav possibily 2 or three miles left but the supra wont go any faster without modifying
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.

that's genuine.
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

Sounds full!
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??
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.

I know of this guy... its a genuine 650hp skyline r34 rebuilt will all nismo parts... think he spent arround 35k plus on it..... had allot of problems with it though
I was there on the day this was done and it was definately 200 mph. There were 3 of them in the car and it was no bs. No one brags about doing 200 kph (125 mph), that skyline was one of the most heavily modded in the country and the engine blew the following year I seem to remember.

You won't get anywhere near 650BHP using just Nismo parts.
Even if you went to the Omori factory the most you could drive away with is 450PS with the R1 package.

Next time he should try a run without the 180kph factory limiter fitted.

This is more like 180mph.
Takes a couple of minutes before the action starts.

One thing to note, whenever I've rewatched any videos of myself, the camera doesn't half take the feeling of speed away, go down a round @ 150 leptons & record it, when you play it back on a computer screen it sure won't look like 150.
