Brit Breaks Speeding Ticket Record
From the land of sleeping policemen and speed cameras, gizmag brings news that will touch the inner hoon in all of us. Londoner Tim Brady is now the new British national automobile speeding ticket record holder. Brady broke the old record by 16mph, by doing 172mph (277kph) in a 3.6 liter Porsche 911 Turbo "borrowed" from his employer, a luxury car rental company. After the police clocked him, it took Brady almost 2300 ft (700 meters) to stop. Brady is now serving a 10-week jail sentence and lost his license for his actions. By the way, he still didn't beat the record for the top speed ever recorded on a British roadway. That belongs to motorcyclist Daniel Nicks who registered 175mph (282kph) on a Honda Fireblade. But the Brits still have a way to go to beat the Yanks– American Samuel Armstrong still holds the world speeding ticket record by doing 205mph (330kph) on a Honda RC51 superbike.

You have it confused with the Supra he built for Japanese Grand Touring Cup competition. http://www.topsecretjpn.com/gallery.shtml And to correct my previous post, it was the A1 he was arrested on, not the M1
http://www.suprastore.com/topsecsuport.html According to the Ex Vi Termini Article first done reight after the 200mph run, it was the 3S-GTE motor. Everything I've read done independently on the run says its the 3S-GTE.
The US "Record" is bogus... An RC51 has a top speed of ~180 MPH. Its ONLY a 1L and ONLY a twin. If you want to break the double-ton, you need a ZX-14R or Hiyabusa, and both need to be derestricted (they come stock with 180 MPH limiters)
Option Video #58 has footage of Natata's run, and it doesn't sound like a 3S-GTE engine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAyE-SUYcj0 Video #66 shows his arrest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWUslYuZ9k4
