I'll start because i couldn't find a previous post for this one...

Ahem,.... for purely cold scientific purposes, and  not bragging rights, I just want to say the Vindicators got a v8 Pike to 216 mph in a white-knuckle chase today. Anyone say better?

I made lorry go 130 mph and LR about 170 mph, both ended trying to make 360 degrees turn out of fun in such speed :)

Nice one! I certainly enjoy a good high speed run. Recoil at high speed can be devastating so  I recommend car rifles for runners  ;)
239 is currently my fastest recorded speed. See thread 'How fast is fast?' for other posts.

S320689

I hit 230 mph in last turn of event. I started to wreck and had to escape, was only at 375 or so meters. Could have gone faster if I hadnt slid off road.

Did it in DREAMCATCHER, one of my 5LV12 "A" armored ospreys.

Can't remember exactly how fast but my humble 4L full A armor Sunrise mission runners are capable of 200+ mph on a straight stretch of road. I think there's something odd about that chassis because identical Stormer builds can't seem to get past 160.

I had to do a double take, you raised the dead the dead thread from 3 years ago.lol

The link above in Chases post should be the more recent one. You'll see in that one the max you can reach is 250, which was also done with an Osprey.

Not using weapons to boost yourself of course. Add Rocket Boosters or Tank Guns to the mix and things can get faster than that.

I think I got to 210 in an A armoured V8 Pike, or something like that. It was during a travel.

You must have not read the other thread, Rocket boosters were already tested(No weapons). A rocket booster used at high speed makes the chassis bounce and you lose traction, slowing you down instead of speeding you up.

Don't even bother with a nitro booster. I did plenty of testing back then to find out the limits, the only item I did not test was the 5lv12 and 7lv12 as they did not exist back when testing was being done. It may be possible to break the 250 limit with a 5lv12, though you better have a high skilled driver behind the wheel to even attempt such an expensive test. ;)

Sadly I can't seem to find the event in Recordings :P

yeah yeah, and Ive got a racoon that can do 200mph up a sand dune.  :thinking: you trying to slide one past us

I think you're talking kph? Either that or the reason you can't find the recording, is that it does not exist  :cyclops:

What the hell was chasing you?
I always tend to leave em in the dust at about 150mph when they hit terrain and screw up.
That being said those frakking Wardances and Pegasus are chasing a he'll if a lot more effectively since being re-A armoured!

Pretty sure it was just a Badlander.  But on that straight stretch of highway on that map you can really get going.

Yeah - a BL will chase you up to about 225mph...

That's what chased me.

I was running from a Pegasus in one of my 4L, Maximum-B-Armor Phoenixes with OR tires. Topped out at 215 on an open stretch of road before hitting 500 meters. Escaped easily.

My driver wasn't even very skilled. Probably 20-30.

May have gotten faster with the same build in different encounters, but if I did, I didn't make a note of it.

I had my 5L Buccy up to 236 MPH with a wardance in hot pursuit. Dropped my FOJ just to slow him. He hit my first patch at 220 and instantly caught fire. It was sweet.

Certainly not a record, but I had a lorry, fully loaded with stone and decked out with 8 weapons, up to 175-ish MPH. An Eliminator was bearing down on it at over 200 mph at Once Upon a Town.

A long fight ensued, lengthened by the fact that even decent gunners can't seem to hit anything at those speeds. The lorry ended up winning. That was fun. . . and scary. Lorries shouldn't move that fast.
