I've not seen a quick straw poll like this on here, and I'm curious as to the top end on everyone's motors

I've got a 115 PD Bora and squeezed 128 indicated out of her yesterday on the M4 er... autobahn... I had to ease off when I came up on some traffic but I reckon there was a teensy bit more there...

Now I know it ain't setting the world alight, (I had 145 indicated out of my VR6), just wondering what you got and how fast you had it!!

similarly, on the autobahn, i've only gone to about 120 (indicated by my B2).

E: That was about 3600 rpm in 6th, if i mind correctly, so i expect a bit more could be found...[]

Hi guys,

On the way to the Nurburgring this year saw an indicated 168mph, then 2 days later dropped a valve whilst going round the ring and have just built the engine and put it back together 2 days ago, got to build my confidence in the engine back up again and hopefully will see similar figures.

Good figures for tdi's tho guys and where i was getting 10 mpg you were probably getting 50 something lol..

Cheers

Matt

 

[Martyn]

I've been all the way.... 165mph on the speedo........

 

[squky clean]

On the autobahn i saw 140 on the clock, but chickened out,even though i could of kept it planted and squeezed a little more i think....(gotta family to think of)...

 

[Gti Fly]

160 on the clock before running outta space on the road

 

[hornetrider]

ay carumba, how uneducated am I? I didn't realise R's where that quick, they not limited to 155 like other exotic machinery??

 

[geo_nr1]

Apparently my mate had over 165 in his R[:I] almost flt out, but not quite. The are not limited,as VW state that they can only do 147mph.....yeh right!

 

[Gti Fly]

I dont think they are limited, well unless the AMD chip removes any limiters

I've had 160 outta the car atleast 5 or 6 times, each time I've run outta room.

On the GPS it's indicating 155, and I'm pulling 6k rpm. With peak BHP arriving just past 6k rpm, I reckon there's a true 160 in there somewhere!

Just waiting until I get my new tyres before seeing if it can be done

Mines not an R32, jabbasport ex demo Mk4. 168 on GPS, but then went bang soon after

Cheers

[turbo paul]

had 145 on the clock but the engine didnt seem to have much left so i eased off.

 

[Cat1.4]

108 on the speedo in my 1.4 []

Think that was the best it'll do, been trying to test it again but that damn autobahn is always too busy!

 

[Jace]

M6 TOLL SPEED STRIP IS GOOD FOR HIGH SPEED RUNS. LATE AT NIGHT THOUGH

I got 138 (GPS RA) before I thought best to back off.

stock standard unmodded PD150 with 172bhp/282lb

 

[sutherlandm]

147mph in France then I had to slow down for traffic.

Some of these R32 figures are loony - Are they true?!

 

[rfsteel]

I've had a 138 GPS speed shown on my RA2. This was around 6K on the rev dial and about 143 on the speedo.

I'm thinking of visiting Germany over the xmas-new year period to see what the maximum is []

 

[Carlos]

I had just short of 140mph pre revo. Need to do another run soon.

 

[burnsyV6]

145 on the clock, then bottled it, just wanted to make sure it could do the same as my exClio Cup!

 

[Tom R32]

152 and my *** collapsed so slowed down, as Matt says - are people really nearly hitting 170mph in the R32??!?!!?![:O]

I had 160 out of my M3 []

 

[25thAE thompson]

on that private road................i had 130 as standard and with revo on, on the way to gti inter i had 141.

My 160 (155 GPS) is very true. First time, 2 passengers onboard, Henry being one of them.

Next day Henry did the same in his car, on the same stretch of road.

I've since done it a handful of times, most recently up against Henry in his, and some bloke in a Mk2 Gti with 1.8T engine!

A true 160 is capable i reckon (with 270bhp that is), you just gotta find the time and place
