dave01982uk Regular Registered: 09/01/05 Posts: 55 Loc: Cheshire	Top speedo reading ive had so has been 134 MPH on the A50 in a lame attempt to keep up wiht a Mazda RX8. Gotta admit wasnt as far behind as expected so rekon it must have only been the 190 bhp version! car felt stable as naything and was crying out for a 6th gear as was top of my revs..and couldnt go no faster boo hoo ST 150 awsome!!!

dave01982uk Regular Registered: 09/01/05 Posts: 55 Loc: Cheshire	so far in terms of cars my ST has nailed recently: Twat reps in Last shape Golf / Passat Tdi's bout even to start with then ST pulling away from bout 70mph Again tailgating reps (what is their problem) Mondeos 1.8 / 2.0 - ST150 gradually pulling away all the way....especially 90 mph onwards MGZR120 - straight passed!!!! New Golf TDi 2.0 M1 - pulling away then dicked on from 80 mph onwards!!! Saxo VTR on dual carriage way - totally mullerd him !!! Nova Sri which I scared the shit out of as i pulled up behind him rather rapidly!!!! ... ST150 totally comes alive at bout 80 mph and pulls like hell!!!!!!

PinkRinse Fiesta Maniac Registered: 02/01/05 Posts: 6067 Loc: Shoreham-by-Sea, W. Sussex, UK	I know what you mean about tail gating reps!!! I get loads of them examining my shiny chrome pipe Half the time I cant be naffed as I know in a few hundred yards I'll be right behind them at traffic lights or road works or something but there's a tiny spurt of dual carriageway at national speed limit (70)near me and if they try to undertake me on the roundabout or are up my pipe (ooer missus) I just wave, smile and boot it _________________________ 24/03/05 to 27/06/12 & I loved it

morganog Regular Registered: 04/04/05 Posts: 67	After 600 miles of running in my ST is like a different car!! Fuck its got so much quicker in 1st and 2nd gear! 3rd is just awsome and it pulls great in 5th even when ur going 80 - 90 mph!!

Parksey Fiesta Nutter Registered: 23/02/05 Posts: 1061 Loc: Winchester	Yeah, I'm now just over 500 miles in and have been starting putting my foot down a bit more. I agree though Morganog, even 1st and 2nd are impressive now, you get a proper shove in the back when putting your foot down hard in 2nd. I know 1st gear is fairly short, but if you can time your gearchange right then you get a constant surge from standstill up to 60. I haven't tried timing mine yet, I think i'll give it until its at least done a thousand before I do that. _________________________ Official www.fordfiestast.co.uk Penguin Ball Champion 2005!

dave01982uk Regular Registered: 09/01/05 Posts: 55 Loc: Cheshire	was driving to work for 5am sat mornin (offer of some overtime) so thought as M1 was totaly empty i would see what it could do! managed to get just over 130 mph on straight flat road and no faster which is all i have managed before. then ...i thought to myself hmmm there is really REALLY steep slope down towards the Mansfield junction .... lets see what this beast can do!! So i approached this at about 120... just giving me enough time to slam on the anchors is there were any rozzers over the crest of the hill before i started my descent... there were'nt ... so i floored it!!!! Speedo reading as i approached the bottom of this really steep hill 140 mph!!! AWSOME! and no shit the car still felt as stable as anything... although i was crappin it a bit as i felt REALLY f***ing fast! Dont reckon i can better that again on any other piece of road .. and not gonna try it again either cos cant think its too good for the engine or my license !!!! RULLES!

ben_st Registered: 02/10/05 Posts: 1957 Loc: Gatwick, UK	I cant wait to get mine after reading all those. Im fortunate in that i live in germany so i will be able to sit with my foot nailed to the floor for miles to see how fast i can get out of it. its always fun to do. I do it in any car that i drive. my company car is a diesel opel corsa and it tops out at 170kmh and feels like im driving on sheet ice its that bad. im not a big fan of vauxhall/opels tbh.

chris22 Regular Registered: 27/05/05 Posts: 90 Loc: Swansea	I have had a Corsa and Astra and didn't really get on with either. Obviously I have never gone over 70mph in my ST, but I have heard what others have done On the flat she pulls up to 120mph fast, then takes a little longer to get to 130mph where she stops. When tried downhill she went up to 140mph on the speedo and that was not far from the rev limiter and she wasn't going any faster. Has anyone had a dabble with the new golf 2.0 tdi sports? They are bloody fast, it was neck and neck. Off the mark I kill them but when you are going on the motorway its not as easy.

st_owner100 Fiesta Mad Registered: 01/07/05 Posts: 296 Loc: Essex & Hampshire	On a very straight road heading towards Stoke I hit 130mph on the dial, which was 124mph on my GPS (5% error is about right). The car didn't rally have much left in it to be honest, but back then I only had a panel filter. _________________________ 171bhp BTB 4-2-1 Manifold, FIA Homologated Sport Cat, Group N Rear Section Click here for my ST Group N rally replica

dave1890 Fiesta Fan Registered: 14/07/05 Posts: 101 Loc: Northren Ireland	thought about posting this question a couple of days ago after doing 134 mph on the motorway not sure if it would have went any faster if i have kept the foot down but thoughs of crashing and losing the lience soon slowed me down. _________________________ i am not saying your wrong but your not right

ChrisCumbria Driving as Daily Registered: 26/06/05 Posts: 23742 Loc: Whitehaven, Cumbria	Sorry for having to point this out but I think we need to be a bit careful here folks. There was another thread on this topic a while back and as Pinky said there: Quote: Dont forget there was a BMW (I think) driver convicted of speeding wayyyyyyyyyy over the limit because... he boasted on the owners club forum & the police were reading it. They had him on camera but there was either something about not being able to see it was him driving or he was just going too fast... _________________________

Lots of really open stretches along with some good twisty ones. Not sure how some of the bikers have the guts to ride at the speeds they do in the TT races on some of them though!!! _________________________

Better keep to my side of the road when i'm doing 120 on the isle of man then! _________________________ 171bhp BTB 4-2-1 Manifold, FIA Homologated Sport Cat, Group N Rear Section Click here for my ST Group N rally replica

STPOWER Regular Registered: 07/11/05 Posts: 55 Loc: Germany	Along the autobahn where there was a section for free speed, I achieved 220km/h (137mph) on a slight downhill gradient. Take away 5% for the speedo tolerance - 209km/h (130mph) approximately..... It was fast enough for a car this size. POWER _________________________ Rice Boy

POWER Next time you do this set your digital speedo to read out MPH and you will get a more accurate reading, its usually 10% less!!! When people quote "I've done 140mph its actually not"... Its about 128Mph in real terms, but let them think they are going that fast _________________________

I've only managed 130mph on the dials (124mph GPS speed), and that was on a huge stretch of motorway. No amount of driving technique or exhaust trickery can make thae difference between 90 odd and 14(2) _________________________ 171bhp BTB 4-2-1 Manifold, FIA Homologated Sport Cat, Group N Rear Section Click here for my ST Group N rally replica

My 1.2 corsa would do 120!Speedo has got to be wrong!! Had a run in with a SRI last week, the ST def had something on it but it was close mind! Maybe just my driving! My cars nearly done 10000 miles now and it certainly feels more bedded in! Anyone noticed how hills are a doddle?!!

blueisthecolour Fiesta Fan Registered: 09/08/05 Posts: 245 Loc: Leicester	To be honest i'm not really bothered with top end speed, i did get 105 mph at prodrive on the straight, but never really tried out on the Road. What i do like though is the pulling power, especially uphill as in the post above, it's pretty awesome really, i just love the acceleration 2nd & 3rd Gears i get pushed back into the seat. Fiesta ST.... best purchase i've ever made, i get bored with cars very easily, 9 Months on & i'm still loving the ST, no intention of trading in for a long time yet.

DanST Fiesta Fan Registered: 29/04/05 Posts: 226	makes bugger all sense that mate. so to 60 the st is faster, due to 2nd gear being longer so to speak. but what happens in 3rd gear? surely the st is faster again due to already being faster. and so on. vauxhalls aint my flavour and i can proudly say ive never drove one. take her to the pod and race against sum st's to proove whats faster _________________________

PetrolSRi n00b Registered: 15/12/05 Posts: 34	I'll just clarify my point. Obviously the more gear changes required to get to 60 will result in a slower time. Therefore the corsa's time of 8secs is very fast compared to the ST which has one less gear change, just imagine if the corsa could do 60 in second? It would piss all over the ST!

ben_st Registered: 02/10/05 Posts: 1957 Loc: Gatwick, UK	I have a Corsa as my work car and I would like to say that out of all cars I have driven - Ka, SportKa, Fiesta ST, BMW X5, Renault Scenic, Vauxhall Astra and the Corsa - it is the car with the least feel to it. It handles like a jelly and the response of the driver controls is horrible. I'm not a big fan of the Corsa, and I think Jeremy Clarkson would probably agree with me on that one. Just out of interest too, the will lap the 5th Gear test ttrack quicker than the BMW X5 4.8IS and the MG ZT 4.2 V8. Quite impressive if I may say so.

If you need more clarification you can always send a PM to one of the team (FiestaRS, ChrisCumbria, Chris or PinkRinse) I've read the threads and it appears to me that it was the other members (including yourself) being 'disrespectful' to petrolsri! Basically petrolsri was not encourageing any law breaking, so i don't understand what everyone elses problem was? i think you should all stop being so small minded and listen to other peoples valid points of view. The admins are obviously communists on here, and that has been proved in history to be a bad thing! Also as your all so called university educated people why do you call people "tw*ts", thats a very uneducated way of refering to someone!

ChrisCumbria Driving as Daily Registered: 26/06/05 Posts: 23742 Loc: Whitehaven, Cumbria	This forum has, and always will, encourage debate amongst people. Obviously everyone will have different points of view on various issues and it is right that they are discussed. It would be a boring world if everyone agreed about everything. However, that debate is normally discussed in a civilised manner, not by starting off a debate by throwing insults because a couple of people have happenned to disagree with what you have said. In that other thread PetrolSRi was expressing his personal opinion, however equally other members of the forum were just as entitled to express theirs. That thread COULD have been locked a long time before it was, however it was deliberately chosen not to do so in order that everyone, including PetrolSRi, could have the chance to discuss the issue that was being debated. It was only locked once it had become apparent that there was nothing new that could be added to either argument. Banning members from the forum is NOT something that has ever been done lightly. The fact that in almost two years since the site came online only three people have ever had to be banned backs this up. _________________________

Mase Fiesta Mad Registered: 15/08/05 Posts: 384 Loc: Leeds	On subject (sort of): Don't have the yet, but the fastest i've been this week was 160kts......but thats in a tutor (plane in my sig)! As for cars took my dads old mondeo V6 up to 135mph, but for me its all about acceleration/performance rather than all out top speed. Off subject: IP ban's are, like most things, easy to get around if you know how. I run a forum elsewhere and had this trouble. Also this forum is spot on! When I finally get the if i'm ever out of the car, i'll probably be posting on here talking about it! Keep up the good work!

ben_st Registered: 02/10/05 Posts: 1957 Loc: Gatwick, UK	The fastest I've been in a car is 175mph on the German autobahn in my dad's TVR Tuscan. Obviously not me driving it mind. The autobahn was clear by the way, no traffic to get in the way but my god things fly past you at a rate. One second you passing a sign that says 1000 metres to the exit and about 4 seconds later, your at that exit. Scary stuff!

Chris Fiesta Nutter Registered: 21/03/05 Posts: 3092 Loc: Isle of Wight	oh its simple, you go to your nice isp server and say, please o please can i have a new ip address, only, i was a bit of a numpty with the old one and want asecond chance, so the nice little isp server gives you a fresh second chance ip address to be a good boy with. I have very little education but i believe thats how it works... _________________________ <<<< look i have a badge

whitestripes n00b Registered: 12/12/05 Posts: 26 Loc: Essex	Wow i don't look at the site all weekend and look what happens! Lots of points can be made on all of the goings on, but mine is simply that I would rather get the bus (or maybe even walk...) than be seen in a Pox... I mean Vauxhall Corsa. It is a heap, simple as that. Its not fast, it has no street credibility, every review I've ever read (that's all the evidence I have sadly as previously stated I would never get in one) says that it handles like WinnieThePooh. Not wanting to make light of the subject.... but maybe PetrolSRI had to have a drink to actually have the courage to get in and be seen (in public) in the Crappy Corsa.!

Ding_Dong Fiesta Fan Registered: 16/11/05 Posts: 119 Loc: That would be telling...	I think that a lot of this is to do with the driver also, not necessarily just the car. Someone in a equally as fast car may have a much quicker gear change !! Sorry to put a downer on this subject but from a Police background, discussions like this can be tracked via computer IP's (it doesn't help when you actually state places too) as i can gaurantee that you will always get a bored police man who will sit in one of these locations just waiting to catch people racing or trying to be bigger than one another. I know how fast my car will go without having to do it so when someone pulls up next to me in a corsa (or similar) revving the engine then why risk losing my life when i KNOW that my car WILL beat it... Just a waste of petrol i think.

ben_st Registered: 02/10/05 Posts: 1957 Loc: Gatwick, UK	I understand what your saying there Iaen about the speed thing. But I don't think that people on here are trying to beat one another with the top speeds I think it's more of an interest regarding the car - to see how fast the car will actually go. Ford quote 129mph as the top speed of the car but it's interesting to see that the car can actually go that bit quicker, and of course to try it out on private ground or an airfield and not the motorway. And on a completely different topic, I wanted to be a copper when I was about 15 and still wanted to up until a few months ago when I changed jobs. I'm loving my job now and I'm hoping to make a full blown career in it. What part of the Police are you in btw?

Matty Fiesta Fan Registered: 08/10/05 Posts: 155 Loc: East Grinstead, West Sussex	I had a Astra SRi 2.2 and comparing that to my ST the ST wins hands down. Its almost the same stats but the ST is a much better car so Ford it is from now on. I also know the Astra would piss on the Corsa by the way coz its been done.

Bigboy Benj - My Police Background came from when i was in the Air Force, we workled closely with the Police Force in case of local threats in certain areas, similar to what they did with the fire brigade on op-Fresco (fire strikes). Blueisthecolour - I'm from a little village outside of Leicester called Desford Whareabouts are you?

ben_st Registered: 02/10/05 Posts: 1957 Loc: Gatwick, UK	Got 129mph out of my ST on the autobahn the other. And the I had my TomTom in the car at the time, and its speed was identical to the cars. When I did high speeds in my sportka the speedo was over reading quite a bit. It seems then I was actually doing 129mph nearly hitting 6000rpm. Could have gone a bit faster had my turn off not been fast approaching!
