Most liked posts in thread: Your Top Speed in a MINI

200 KPH. 5 years ago about midnight, on a long sweeping S on the bald a$$ prairie, where I could see any headlights for 10 miles in any direction. Poco felt great, even had a little pedal travel left to the floor.

I was doing about 45 on the way to work today. Can't tell you how fast I've gone on the track. I KEEP MY EYES ON THE TRACK AHEAD OF ME.

 

I've only done shorter tracks so I haven't done over +/- 110 mph at the track. One lonely day at a local expressway I got to 135 mph according to my speedometer (sorry no GPS)

 

115 on the short straight at Heartland Park, I don't speed as a rule on the highway.....

 

125 on the track... But I usually keep it at 120, car starts to get a little squirrelly around there. That's where I'm hoping group4 is gonna help out.

136 is SCREAMING!!! I would have to check with air traffic control for take off before I tried that...Course your car is modded more than mine; no way I could hit that on any track I'm on the way my car is set up now.

Went 160 at Road America as a passenger, with a professional driver behind the wheel. It was then and there that I pretty much decided the MINI was just fine for me, thank you...

 

Approximately 115 on the front straight at Pacific Raceways, Kent, WA.

 

For me, 105 (per the GPS) on a straight, flat divided four-lane highway around midnight. Still had a little pedal left, but I was approaching a hill so I slowed down.

 

Better watch it... The Mounties will come in here and ticket us.

On Road Atlanta at the MINI vs Porsche event (behind a a poke-a-long who wouldn't keep up with the pace car -- grrr :cryin: ) was doing about 110 down the back straight. Had a lot of room left for more, tho...

On the street: 127 mph on a straight stretch of I-75 late one night with my Xenons blazing to light up any of the GSP/Cobb County cops who might have been lurking. Again, ran out of road long before I ran out of motor.

Want to do a track day at RA one of these days, but need to get a good helmet first...

 

Have to keep it under the speed limit or else I get this terrible noise emanating from somewhere in the region the passenger seat. It's something I'm going to have the MINI service guy look into before the warranty expires.:crazy:

 

By the GPS speed on my Garmin Nuvi, 137mph. Ain't saying where.

Nathan started the thread, so we're good. Besides, "Those Mods" can go suck rocks while they read this thread.
