Top 'speed' done and where? (6 Viewers)

[nwatts]

Last week I redlined my car through 2nd and 3rd getting away from some abusive nut who was following me, doing 130 in a 50 zone.

Fastest I've gone was between heathcote and wollongong, doing 175. My car wouldn't go any faster. I had to get home. Can't remember why now. (Oh, and it was ~3am - no traffic around).

I didn't know dis was possible, since its a 1.5L V4 .. umm I'd fink its top speed would be like 120 .. cuz I had a excel 1.5 before and yeah top speed around 120-125 ish .. it was a shitbox
lol anyways, did 160 on the way bak from panthers .. on the m4

someone obviously has no idea what they are talking about, for starters u cant have a "v4" and secondly of course a toyota echo could get upto 160+ easily, with new cars having overhead cams, possibly even a twin cam and fuel injection are all contributors.

Don't get back in a car. The Ps test is disturbingly easy. You shouldn't be allowed on the road if you've failed it 7 times.

I was still accellerating, I still had enough under the VW to get to 270-280ish...

I would have thought that VW, being part of the VAG, would be similar to Audi, and Mercedes and BMW in having a 250 limiter.

not sure if my friend tweaked it or not, but he put a turbo in his VW and he could get past 250

turbo is standard in the new vw golf (my bad if u were refering to an older model.

turbo is standard in the 'new' GOLF? well.. not in the 1.6L version lol

unless you're referring to Golf R32 or the Gti?

but nar i was referring to the mk4 Golf Sport

A turbo would have required some ECU modding to work properly and as a matter of course the speed limiter would have been removed at this time.

220, VS Commodore, Princes HWY between Bega and Merimbula
170, 4x4 Holden Rodeo, Snowy Mountains HWY ( Set off the speed limiter)
Worst ever was probly 170 in a 60 zone at 3 am in the commi

I thought the commodore limiter was at 190??

someone who 'knows their holdens' should know that there isnt a 'v4.'

 

[loquasagacious]

Agreed.
