Ekona Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah, okay. I believe the correct term is 'Chinny Reckon', accompanied by the appropriate chin-stroking action. 3 Quote

And I get 40mpg +. *insert hairdresser joke here* Maybe a roadster but not the coupe! Both great cars but i different ways. It's amazing how different both of them are considering both are 2 seat coupe's with 6 cylinder engines with front engine and RWD. Sorry OP, Back on topic! Quote
Exotic Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 168 mph in Europe a couple of years ago on the longest flattest road you'd ever see. Still have it tripped in my Sat NAV, was still pulling but I chickened out (shame as had loads more clear road for about 10 miles!) Best get back out there an at least get another 2mph lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I may give it a try but would prefer to do it on a abandoned track like Top Gear do. Going at 170 mph means even a car doing 100 mph is flying at 70 mph toward you, almost like you doing the national speed limit and another stationary car. That Z4 only got to 249 kph (155mph) which is average for a german car Quote
BulletMagnet Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Hang on, if a car is doing 100mph toward you, and you are doing 170mph, shouldn't the impact speed be 270mph? I'll wait for those smart people to reply on this one 1 Quote

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk I think he means if your doing 170mph you are catching a car in front of you doing 100mph at a closing speed of 70mph So the same as hitting a stationary car at motorway speeds. I don't think its quite the same but not going to try it. Quote
Darren350 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I'll test the theory out later then haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Nope. You may have more speed, but you also have twice the mass which means the energy is dissolved over a greater body. So a head on crash between two vehicles travelling at 100mph each doesn't equal 200mph into a brick wall. Quote
370Ad Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 162mph GPS with bolt on mods and remap. DIdn't want to pull too much more! 1 Quote
