gargoil Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Welcome to the forum Lea!It should go to about `115-20ish`, have had my GTI up2 about 125 but it got kinda scary as it didn't feel to steady! Think its due to the loops lack of weight and short wheel base! It was cool though........not that I'm encouraging you to speed!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lup Gti Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 And of course u should only do top speed runs on private roads!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BReal Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 hi Lea ive had about 110 outta my sport I wouldnt see it going much faster than that personally without revving it quite close to the red line which I wouldnt advise. That was on the A38 in Devon. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Oh, it was my private road - there was no one else on it at the time! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinA3 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 i have had my 1.4 16v polo touching the limiter in 5th with 127 showing but that was down a massive hill and also i doubt the speedo is accurate at that speed, i reckon it was going about 120.
