141 mph near Cowdenbeath

Yet strikes me as one of the safest, best engineered, open-sighted roads in Scotland.

Are the vans really for "safety"...

Would've been far safer if it was a police car that stopped them for a chat, otherwise they were probably still doing huge speeds miles down the road.

This.

Until they reach the bit Rossy mentions. Might need to drop back to a mere 100 there

Without googling, I'd say the chunk of the fatalities would have been the single carriageway section of the Newport-on-Tay to Kirkcaldy A92....sh*tter of a road

Fair analysis although I rather like that road.

I like it too, I can see the start of it from my house!

It can be immense fun, but you've gotta be on yer game because it's strewn with hazards such as wee side roads and is regularly used by slow-moving farm traffic, causing some road-users who generally don't overtake to do just that.

Ooft - joking aside, trying to maintain a ton on that stretch would be downright irresponsible!

Really? I always dread the slog that is driving through Fife.
Always seems to be farm traffic, or 40 mph'ers all the way from Dundee to Kirkcaldy when I visit my brother in law.
I do remember enjoying the run out to Minimart in Gateside in my Mini days, but that was a while ago. Perhaps I just pick the wrong times.

I guess, with that said, A92 / A91 beats A90 via Perth when heading in that direction, and is usually almost as quick..

[rossybee]

Yep, wrong times - when it's lightly trafficked it's good!

I'm generally en route to / from golf at Carnoustie = early or late hours. I enjoy the overtaking challenge. Esp in the wee Club Racer

The Cerb's long legs can catch you out, a simple overtake can result in a bit of a surprise when glancing at the speedo!!!

[campbell]

Yup. Evora was just the same. Huge ratio spacing

Elise is noisy enough and direct enough that you have no doubt how fast you are going.

Wise words Rossy.

[rossybee]

Aye, quite different from the buzziness of the R400

Reminds me of the Griff 500 from many moons ago, albeit with slightly less torque which could kill you at barely above idle with the first sniff of camber change or road paint
