I have only ever done 110 KPH.  :roflmbo:

I was however, a passenger in my car while the WOG took it out on a test drive down the street... OMG!

You too have experienced that sensation with the wog

Yeh, me too.

The Wog had mine up to 150kph in a short backstreet with a culdersack coming up real quick. that's when I started repeating the words "Its only got the standard brakes!"

To achieve the record and conform to the Guinness World Record guidelines, the Maloo R8 had to be independently scrutinised to ensure it was a standard production specification vehicle, in exactly the same state and condition as when it rolled off the production line. Once the Maloo R8 was certified, the attempt was run over a marked 1km course, again, to the guidelines set by Guinness World Records. The Maloo R8 had its speed in both directions measured and run within 1 hour to confirm its place as the “Worlds Fastest production Pickup/Utility”.

Guys, whichever way we look at it, this is still very impressive - we could debate if the UTE was factory standard or not, but even if it was not, which may or may not be the case, the small amount of mods that were done was basically not noticeable.

So yes, even as a lifelong Ford fan, this is still impressive.

To move a 1800kg (approx) vehicle to those velocities, needs some serious grunt.

I am impressed.

Just hoping to get a decent hardcover for my UTE soon after my mods this week, and will go to some private road out there and see if we can top that in the Tornado - which is not stnadard anyway, it will have somewhere north of 375rwkw.

Anyone know where around Melbourne I could go to legally do a run like this? I can't afford to loose my license, guys, so it must be legal - otherwise I won't do it.

Just like to see what it can do, and if we can at least go pass that 271kph

Jeesh, we can't let a Expensive Daewoo Maloo beat a Ford

fark me.. I know that car, seen it driving around here heaps. Citric GT with a shaker and mods (I'm assuming), sounds awesome!! took off from the lights next to me when I was in the missus lancer, and he gave it squirt, damn I wish I was in the T

[TURBOTAXI]

220 in the T (I had only had it a couple of weeks, but my testies backed down)

260 about 10 yrs ago on my VF1000

220 on the 1995 CB1000

240 in a 200sx with a dirty big turbo

Want to get a turbo CBR1100XX or similar one day.

[YellowTurbo]

I have done 230kmph in the old unrestricted roads in NT, starts to float about 200.

Manual 2005

[dingah2]

As I recall Shorty's mobile could only muster about 235RWKW in 2004 so don't be too impressed...it would take three Commonwealth Avenues for that power to get his "catch me if you can" barge to 220kph Jimmy.

the noise it made under full song was pretty impressive though

[86gav]

288kph on My Gixxer and 245 Limiter in my T for me.

Cheers
