Remember the speedo is wrong. The climatronics and GPS usually tie in.
Mine is just over 130 mph on the mountain circuit IOM. Which, for that road, is slow.
-
70mph as the plod may be looking at this... :smiley:
-
Can we post on here without fear of prosecution?
I was on IOM too :rolleyes: Hit an indicated 140mph (GPS-135mph). Never been able to reach it since because I haven't been back to IOM!
-
I got upto a massive 75mph today but scared so dropped it back to 70! Gotta watch the MPG you know!
-
146 GPS, in germany :rolleyes:

Good laugh.

Not tried it myself, not really into doing top speed runs (as need the help of a German autobahn for that) :wink:. But I have seen vids of Ed30's with same spec as mine nudging 180 bananas on the clock. What that would be on GPS, not sure, but i'd imagine the world will be flying past pretty quick at that rate. :shocked:

145mph German autobahn

145mph German autobahn
That's nippy.
I wish they (the Germans) wouldn't keep reducing the speed on the overhead gantries every couple km's. Makes it hard to get a good run up.
-
Sorry was ment to put that was non GPS speed.
-
I did an official 1km sprint...208km trapped speed from standstill...I have taken the car to 270km clock speed...
-
Can someone tell me how I get the speed in my aircon dials?
I want to do it!

*50 high speeds a few times...sure it has a little more in it, always seem to catch people up at that rate though. Not sure what that is GPS.
Cant prosecute without evidence such as a video. Afterall we could just be gloating.
-
Remember the speedo is wrong. The climatronics and GPS usually tie in.
But the Climatronic display takes its readings from the wheel speed sensors, and not GPS (as reported on other forums) - because only cars with factory fit sat navs will have a GPS antenna.
Mine is just over 130 mph on the mountain circuit IOM. Which, for that road, is slow.
How many miles have you done in your car? Most cars will get faster as they get more miles on the clock.
Anyway, saw just under 145 on the clock in Germany with about 3k miles on the clock. Was sooooo tempted to take it round Assen too.
-
No offence guys...
But this a great way to get said sponsors.... Surprised this has not been locked too. . . . :lipsrsealed: :huh:
-
I had mine up to 175 on the clock on the autobahn in summer, she had a bit more left in her too! :shocked:

noone ever said we were actively searching for sponsors, thats something your little sewing circle put together yourselves :grin:
i could tell you all how things are done and why, but i wont because a) its nunyabizniss and b) its more fun watching the misinformed rumours :tongue:
-
I can only get 88mph out of mine - then the flux capacitor cuts in and it vanishes :laugh:
My Satnav has the capacity to store my top speed and so I never reset it unless I specifically want to check my top speed on a set piece of "tarmac"
I'm not disclosing it on here though :laugh: :laugh: :evil: :evil: and especially not disclosing where I did it :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:
JBS did 146mph (satnav) whilst testing it, which equates to around 160mph on the speedo.
-
especially not disclosing where I did it :lipsrsealed:
You'll go be arrested, tortured, executed and sent straight to hell if you do!
I've hit the limiter, so I guess 155. No animals or children were harmed in the process.
-
Any speeds over 120MPH seem to creep up very slowly, not as good top end performance as I originally thought.
-
70 mph
-
71.2mph

....
143 mph on German unrestricted Autobahns - GPS.
Acceleration starts to get sluggish after 135 mph but she'll go all day at 130 mph. That was before my remap.
:afro:
-
I too have ripped up the autobahns,travelled quite a distance at high speed and was very happy with the MPG.
Oh and the Nurburgring.

I'm in a huff. How come i put a thread like this up and i get shouted at??
I'm in a bad mood now, it's not fair

I just got it to work today after faffing around whilst stuck in some traffic. Pretty nifty but not as accurate as I'd like plus it meant my eyes were on the road less so I just turned it off. I need a HUD.

It's the Slump. You asked in nice PC times.
Now it's dog eat dog and I'm off to the Isle of Man to beat your 145.

That was disclosed pretty nicely toph. Both yourself and phil stated in clear writing that threads were being moved and locked to attract further sponsors and to tidy things up. Take a look in the trash can. Im certain the twenty page thread about it might still be there. Funny though. As a sponsor i would not want to represent a "my cars the fastest" or "i beat x vehicle". I rest my case at that. This subject is overplayed, hypocrital and yet humorous.

You need a smaller horse, or some other device that clearly distinguishes your opinion from facts. I'm quite sure of what I said and what I meant, but please continue to make assumptions.. gives me something to giggle at.

Im quite sure I havent read of anyone stating anything about that their car "beat" anyone. Or that their car was the "fastest". Think you may be looking in to this a little too much Micsta :wink:
-
No hard feelings. But as i said. Im leaving this as it is. Just wanted to point it out toph. As for you r32uk. . . . As far as im concerned when you post in a thread titled "what car have you beat in your gti" and please note the emphasise on the word "beat". You are pretty much stating you have beat another vehicle in a gti. Perhaps im misinformed. Please inform me then if the english language has changed over night. I didnt realise it had.

Im sorry but I was refering to this thread... I thought you would have been too as you posted in this thread and not the "what car have you beat" thread.
But either way they are both still alive.. and I have found this one to be quite useful, as I am sure others have too :smug:
