how fast have you been in your fronty????? 70-80-90?

[Ruathar]

Did some testing on private land to adjust my speedo to be a little more accurate (was about 10 mph out at 60). Had the sat nav showing 3 figures with the speedo reading about 5 more than that.

Never been past 75 to tight to waist fuel and don't want to kill the old girl plus to noisey on mt's

It's not my intention to spoil the thread 'cause I luv a bit of speed but on my bike (fast,very fast...on a loooonnnggg private airfield ) but......I am so content to trundle around in the fronty between 50 & 60 mph. There is sommat about the fronty which allows you to have a satisfying journey without going fast

My Fronty is happy enough at 85 but 90+ is not impossible. just need the runway at heathrow to get there.
My older 2.5 diesel sat for a good few miles at just on a ton on a German Autobahn. My ears were ringing for some time after. Not just from the missus screams either the noise from the engine was something else

Will cruise nicely at a ton and with caravan likes to cruise at about 80 (I did not write that honest officer)

[R6_wal]

i dont think i have been over about 80, tend to keep it below 3k rev's

[Rich2.4i]

Well i have got my 2.4 up-to 95 mph on the M50 at night and my old 2.4 up to 109 mph around Donington Park race track when i went with some mates to test autograss cars on tarmac so i had a go in the fronty to see what speed i could get it up too, the only problem was stopping afterwards

[TheBig-D]

my old 2.4 up to 109 mph

Is that how you killed it...

Think it could have been the start of it

[bobbinsjob]

Have had Angelina up to 3 figures but tend to stay at around 50 - 60 especially with these Machos on

Lets just say that one saturday mornig I scared myself and decided that I needed to slow down (and I don't scare under 3 figues)

Frequently cruise at 80 (indicated) but still plenty more available if I wanted.

One thing I love about mine is thast I can be going around 55, floor it and still get kicked in the back by the seat as the turbo re ignites and am amazed at how quickly the speedo goes up

[Apache-Andy]

Effortless cruising at 3 figures...on the autobahn's of course....

sorry to be a spoilsport but i think this a bad thread.

yes ....agreed ...

it is silly admiting to going over 70mph

[Drift]

Glass houses lol

[pinky]

Have just put a 5.7 litre V8 into an S10 Blazer which is pretty much the predicessor to the fronty. If I give it some welly 4th gear ( auto ) will drop in at 80, unfortuneately the clock only goes up to 85, havent set the tracking up yet ( front wheels point sort of in the same direction ) so I lost my bottle at about that point, oh and the 6mpg was at the back of my mind as well!

sorry if i offended a few people with this post,i only meant for it to be of interest,not in anyway would i encourage people to drive to fast.but lets admit it we all have & must of us have grown out off it.but i must say its interesting to see that most of the speeding is done by the 2.2 dti drivers

[Red Oktober]

no mate ....you weren't offending anyone

[bobbinsjob]

but i must say its interesting to see that most of the speeding is done by the 2.2 dti drivers

Its the only one with a bit of poke

Only joking! just tested her out once then back to Captain Slow
