Mk1 speeds on and on and on

[Madone_si]

Now you've just got to love the Mk1 golf engines. I was coming home from High Wycombe last night after a friends wedding and I had 2 people in the car including myself, so I thought I would push the car to see just how well it runs and manage to get the speed just off the dials...?

I have to say the car was really unstable at that speed and I quickly come back to 70-80ish, but it's so good to know it will do those speeds from a 21 year old car that is not upgraded in anyway at all.... LOVE IT...?

What speed does your car go too...?!!

[topher]

a little more than that 

[Madone_si]

how much more.... 2+...!!?

had the needle nudging 145 before i had to back off as i was running out of dual carriageway private test track, really don't think i'd get anymore than that unless it was downhill with a big wind, could do with a gps reading for accurate figures though.

I had the GPS reading 124mph with Vix and spare cab doors in the back when I had the 8v powering her. My shocks are a little f**k*red so I don't push it too much over 100mph.

Mines the same bout 115 but the private test road ran out and i didn't feel too comfortable at that speed - I do the speed limit in my car lol!!

my cab can hit the top of the clocks too but i fear its the speedo playing up.  i can do 0-60 in about 4.5 secs

Ive had mine to about 115 on flat, Off the clocks down hill

mine stops going faster at 138 on the speedo.. feels like its got more in it though

pretty stable too.. 120 doesnt feel that quick if my "3 lane private runway" doesnt have ermm friends using it too
