Title: 100mph?
Post by: earlymk2 on 01 January 2009, 15:48: Was doing 100mph today, (not on the public highway officer!). The car was revving at 5000rpm. Its the first time i have been this fast in my new gti. I dont remember my last one being like this although that was 5 years ago! Its a 87 8v running 15" G60s. Does this gearing sound right or do i have the wrong gearbox in my car?
