Hi my friends!

I'm intrested in who has the fastest civic!

FWH · 29th December 2007, 17:24

Please note that only speeds achieved on closed circuits and autobahn can be mentioned.

Posting illegal speeding in not allowed.

Highest speed for myself (in circumstances as above, of course) was 210 km/h on the speedo. 1.8.

Well the most I have taken mine upto is 137 mph (220 Kph). Felt nice and stable but I ain't too sure about the brakes. 2007 Type-R.

robbo51 · 29th December 2007, 19:43

70 mph of course

f.ss.t · 29th December 2007, 21:25

139mph - oulton park racecourse - modified 2007 type S

Munro · 29th December 2007, 22:31

Careful what you say or you will be tidied or collared. High speed runs only on private ground / race tracks. See the type R top speed thread.

Has Oulton still got a straight long enough to go fast along, I remember (years ago) when you came out off the hairpin and it was one long straight (ish) into Knickerbrook, then along came health and safety and made them put chicanes in.

....need to remember that the chicane was put in after Derek Warwick's brother was killed there. The very fast right-hander there had no run off area only the steep bank on the left. If that's 'health & safety' then so be it - too late for Paul Warwick though...

'Warwick died in a crash at Oulton Park racing circuit, England whilst contesting the fifth round of the British Formula 3000 championship. The car left the circuit at the notorious Knickerbrook right hand corner and slammed almost perpendicular into the outer circuit armco barrier at 140 miles per hour (approximately 224 km/h). The car disintegrated and Warwick was ejected from the car in the accident. Investigations concluded a front right hand lower wishbone failure caused the crash'

210km/h in 1.8, and almost 230km/h in my 1.4 (ok, ok.. not really 1.4 anymore

)

cnicolini · 2nd January 2008, 17:16

Only 124mph I could of gone faster but did nt want to push my luck as it was nt a track, cant say where as my lawer would shoot me! LOL

Yes it was very stable, and you can really feel the extra push at 110mph when the VTEC cuts in.

I was in my mates Porsche Carrera S a few months ago where he was doing 160mph, and same again cant say where, or who he is? Now thats fast!

stewy123 · 2nd January 2008, 18:19

vteclover · 2nd January 2008, 19:07

Presumably on a closed circuit as illegal speeding is not allowed to be posted on this forum.

ADENGUNNER · 2nd January 2008, 20:48

Going to Munchen Gladback in March in the CTR, anyone know if the auto bahns are restricted or is it just some of them? Will be travelling via tunnel and through France.

All of them are not unrestrictied.
Actually, less and less are around Germany.

Typically, around cities and intersections there are definatly limits. Also if it rains there is usually a 120 km/h limit as the concrete becomes very slippery.

Oh, and there may be a bit of "stau" too.

Have a look here also for more info:

Thanks FWH, er... "stau?"

Stau is German for M25.

(traffic jam that is)

Steeph · 2nd January 2008, 21:59

Did 200 Km/h (On the Autobahn so legal

)

Got there very fast and smoothly and was not going full throttle, 220-230 should be feasible I think.

andischatz · 25th January 2008, 14:23

214 kph on speedo (TomTom said it was 207 kph really) on the Autobahn, just outside the Netherlands.

2007 1.8 5door model
