This is odd.

You guys telling us that you can cap 130 mph from a STANDARD 8v 2.0 ?

The fastest I had in my old 93, mk3 2.0 8v was 125 and that was down a steep hill. After being cambelt tuned. And my current cab, caps out at about 120. 130 ???

some optimistic speedo readings me feels... 10% over sounds about right

try over 100 mph driving a car where your head is just above knee-height! Sevens and Westies man, you gotta love em...

from 60 to 100mph in a tuned TDi in 5th, much quicker than a GTI...

I recently installed an Origin B2 in my VR6, which has a very accurate GPS Speedometer.  I was shocked at how inaccuarate the Mk3 Golf speedo actually is.

With 130mph on the speedo, actual speed indicated by the GPS was just 121mph.

121 sounds about right for top-end on a standard 2.0 8V, so I believe Glen's speedo reading.
