Title: Top Speed on a private road.
Post by: Ant1981 on 01 July 2009, 21:29
1.8T boys,

What's the fastest you've had out of your Golf and was it a struggle? Or did it feel as though it could have gone further?

I just remeber the days of my Mk2 GTi 16v doing 145 and wanting to go more, was completely standard too. This was on a track too.

Just because the clocks say 180, doesn't mean it will get there.

I asked for the top speed you have had out of the car, not the top speed you dream and wank about having out of your car  :grin:

I'll be at USC, will be good to see what you get out of her! Me and my mate are doing the Ramshackle 2009 (Calais-Krakow) the week after USC and i think we're taking the banger to the 1/4 mile strip - should be a pisser!

Had 135mph when I had my Golf on a private test track was struggling to get anymore than that wasnt mapped though. Had 135mph in the GSI the other day and got there proper quickly and still had loads more to go again on my private runway.  :cool:

Just to warn you all that is how I lost my plastic under tray the other day. Gave the car a bit of a blow out and the air must have caught the under tray and ripped it in half also breaking the side covers.

130, from 50 in 6th, 1/2 mile straight - corner 1/4 mile straight - v tight corner (foot in + oversteer)  :wink: - 1 mile straight to 30 zone, I like these 'runways' with no speed limits.  :cool: Mates mk3 VR made 170 on the motorway, sort of standard too.
