He says it was the AUQ standard.. Pretty sure they come with the O2M box no?  :whistle:

Some folk love a wee beef up on a car spec

Mine can do 170mph, if I dropped it out of a plane!  :evil:

How high were you thinking? 10 feet or 10,000 feet?  :whistle:

Then it's terminal velocity is likely to be in the vicinity of 120mph, but given a few external factors, would probably be less than that.

Actually, given it's aerodynamics, or lack thereof, it would be lucky to get that fast!  :nerd:

Modified with enough power and enough rpm(or long enough gear) it's plausible. My AUM is quite capable of accelerating through 170mph with ease. The advert posted (now taken down) claiming 170mph from a mk4 with a mere 250bhp is quite a bald claim though... I should think it would really struggle.
