Nippy then..

Redline theoretical max in 6th gear is 187mph, given enough road, driver bottle, power and fuel, it could be done. When my speedo reads 150mph I'm doing 138 on the GPS. Given an error like that the guy doing 300kph would most likely be doing an actual 276kph, which is around 171.5mph.

Then how do you explain the top-speed all the tuners give, that is set no higher than 260kph?
I think that is the maximum real world (GPS) speed you could reach in GTI, bouncing off the rev limiter.

For tuned S3's though, the tuners write 270-280kph.

The GTI surely has an overdrive ratio for 6th gear - therefore the top speed will be achieved in 5th...?

Hi Peskarik,

Sorry I cannot explain tuners reasons for giving 260kph. All I can do is give you the stats I know myself. I'm working off the ACTUAL gear ratio's and redline figures as a theoretical max, rather than a tuners max Tuners will not post a theoretical max, but should (if they are reliable) give achieved max outputs.

Oettinger and ABT and B&B Automobiletechnik are reliable enough, no?
I just wonder, you know.

that was the biggest waste of 56 seconds in my life!
