i would believe a stock s could go 250ish no doubt about it :bigthumbup: |

The speedo, and I agree that it may not be the actual speed of the car but I was still accelerating as I wasn't close to redline yet. So If MH is right then that would mean my speedo would be off by atleast 5kph mostlikely more because I was still going. |

For all your speedo experts out there...
How is it that a speedo can get "wonky" or inaccurate at higher speeds. I'm just not a making a good connection on this one! I would think that when Im reading 240kph, 125mph, or 295kph that it would be fairly accurate, isn't that the point of having that lil guage? Couldn't that also help us warrant fighting speeding tickets if there's some scientific fact that all speedo's become inaccurate???
Everybody knows that a Porsche is a fast car, no doubts about that, especially a turbo! So when I look over and see 295ish+ KPH, how would we know that isn't how fast we're going, I just figured the point of the speedo was to let you guauge how fast your travelling!
-->Chad what car did you do 260 in???? |

| I rember a ways back Car & Driver or Road & Track did a test of some exotic cars. Mario Andretti was the testpilot I believe at Texas Motor Speedway. They were going for top speed bragging rights, with a calibrated radar gun determining the winner. The speedo's were off in at least 75% of the vehicles tested IIRC, all of said percentage were reading higher in the cockpit than actual recorded velocity. Food for thought. :bigthumbup: |

redbaron: That is a great question! How come we don't have better speedos this day and age? I actually couldn't tell you where the error comes from, but as the numbers get larger the error also gets bigger. I think at reasonable speeds the speedo is pretty darn good.
The reason people are so touchy about this is because someone will say "my car did 260kph and I had room to go because I was at 5000 RPM". Sure this is what you read on the dash, but if you calculate the RPM required to turn the wheels at that speed it might come out to be something way over the limiter. The person was probably actually going 230 kph and would hit the rev limit at 250kph.
Now if you have changed the rolling radius of your wheels, thats a whole different can of beans.
Justin
EDIT: this is part of the reason you don't get tickets for 3kph over the limit.... it's tough to argue speedo error when the scenery starts to blur. B) |

Its my understanding that the speedos in most cars read a little high on purpose. More of a safety/CYA thing by the manufacturers so that you can't blame them for you getting a speeding ticket (or worse).
I know on the newer VW's with the Climatronic system, you can set it up so that your actual speed is displayed, I forget if its on the stereo display or one of the digital displays on the dash. This displayed speed is always a few km/h lower than what the speedometer displays.
If the speedos are built to display a certain percentage over the actual, then the faster you go the bigger the difference (in km/h) between actual and displayed speed. Granted 230 vs 260 km/h is a pretty big difference, a little more than 10% and I don't know if the speedos are set to be that far out of whack, but it at least explains some of it. |

In excess of over 230 kmh that people here claim to have gone that fast, I don't think any of us wou;d even look at the gauge ;) I mean, i've gone 180 and still pulling plus the car kinda felt unsteady , you would have to be calm and relax looking at the gauge, I don't think just by doing quick glances can accurately say that you are going that fast and not worry what's around you. I dunno, I mean if the streets were clear and no sign of anyone, hell ya any ones got time to see how fast they're going.
but honestly though, how many here have felt cool and calm doing that much speed and not feeling one bit nervous?(unless you're doing it often) :) |

I'm guessing the Speedos are slightly inaccurate because there are cheaper to make that way, and since there's (almost) practically no place you can legally go over 200kph, why waste money making speedos that are accurate above that speed?

when your car only has 8000km on it, the car is smooth... a little bumpy over the cracks in the highway, but it is possible.... i did it... 240km/h.. |

Did this car have over 800 hp and about 3000lbs in weight added to the rear end to keep traction at that speed? Otherwise you're full of shit.....that is unless there was some sort of rocket strapped to it....and it was launched off of a cliff.

I am thinking besides the fact that car mfgs need to be as cheap as possible at making things that there are a few other factors that come into play when you'r going this fast..
Ever see a topfuel rail run the 1/4.. how much the tires expand? Wind resistance, traction and clutch slippage all come into factor here, i dont see it adding up to more than say... 10% and if you have a mechanical spedo... more..
There should be no reason why the mfgs program so much error into their speedo's unless there is something they dont want us to know :)

went off again and the cop said ...."i didnt belive the first reading,

some of these speeds are not attainable due to a cars HP and drag coeficient......and the 71 whatever its called.....like matt said it must been falling off a cliff or had rockets duct taped to its ass......202Mph.....um guys motorcycles have a hard enough time reaching speeds like this with almost as much HP, TONs less weight, and more areodynamic......see hayabusa!!!!
AND speedos are inaccurate the higher you go up the speedo....police cars are calibrated on a dyno so thats why when they pull you over and say I was following you and had you at X kph they are well pretty damn accurate.

Well think of it this way ladies, if your speedo is out by 10%, at 110 indicated, you will be doing 100km/h, at 220 indicated...200km/h, etc.
I'm really not sure of any stats on how much factory speedos are out, but you can be sure they are erred on the slower side so that the companies are not being sued for speeding tickets.

soo much bs on thsi threwad i can laugh my ass off..speedo's are totally inacurate after 200.
sorry man, type r has shorter, you probably went 230.
Fastest i ever gone...
2000 Type R- with stock suspension i went 220, with coilovers i went 230. weird how that works, maybe just more aerodynamic.
1997 Prelude-220, no faster. anyone sayting that they are 30 more than that is utter bs.
1990 Toyota Supra Turbo- 240 km/h, these toyotas have good high speed.
1978 LRT- 125 MPH, wind factor takes over.
But i think actually all these speeds are off 10-30km/h, i am firm beleiver in inaccurate speedos.. |

155mph (250kph) in a 1971 Dodge Challenger 440 6pack with 7 people onboard. ( I wasn't driving and almost beat the crap out of the guy who was after he stopped... luckly for him he runs really fast and I didn't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere)
.... and Yes this is the scariest high speed ride I've ever been in without a doubt.
It took about a mile for that huge beast to drop down to 60mph good thing we were on an abandoned highway a half hour from nowhere (between drumheller and brooks)
To this day I still can't believe that the tires didn't blow out at that speed with that much weight.
215 kph in my 93 Prelude SR
225 kph in my 98 Acura 3.5RL (don't know how fast it can go....haven't push it to the limit yet....225kph felt the same as 60kph in my Prelude...very smooth)
170 kph in my 2001 Daewoo Lanos (suprisingly stable for the cheapest car outside of a Yugo... paid $9900 brand new....use it for commuting to work to save mileage on my 3.5RL... comparable if not better than my 93 Civic DX )

i run out of revs at around 225km in the corolla.
and somehow, its not all that much fun to be revving at 8 grand in 5th gear either. i drove it at that speed for about half an hour, then i decided to check the oil. it turns out that the topspeed run ate up a little oil, so i stopped doing it.
i usually go no faster than 130-140 now...besides, all the fun in my car is under 100kmh sideways manuevers :) |

270km/h in my tenth ani RX-7. Racing a Cuda out to the airport. Passing cars going 100k and hour at 170km/h standing still._ No thats a rush!!
no, thats retarded.
what if someone changed lanes without looking, or what if they looked in the mirror and saw you were 100 metres behind, not realizing you'd catch them in only 2 seconds (50m/s = 170km/h).
think you could slow from 270km/h to 100km/h in under 2 seconds before you rear end them?
i must say i'd live to try 270km/h one day B) (safely) |
