Can this thing go any faster?

[golfvr6]

Top speed for the vr6 is 140, speedos are generally 10% fast so will probably make up for the extra. Is your 8v modded Glen?

[Glen]

Nope no mods standard engine.  Surprised me too but honestly 130 it said, and as for the VR6 145 and still going (his missus screamed at him to slow down!) book speeds i take no notice of they dont take into account the engines probably done 60k and is getting nice and loose. What u had out of yours VR6?

[golfvr6]

I don't go that fast anymore, i'm a good boy    
I did get over 130mph out of a mk2 16v a few years ago

Glen are you sure the car hasn't been chipped already?

[Glen]

I dont think so it was owned by The House of Fraser for a company car before me so I doubt it. How could I tell anyway?
I havent been in any other 8valves only a VR6 and that was a different league so nothing to compare to
Maybe some trainee at the VW factory put some VR6/16valve parts in by mistake (wishes)!!!!!!!
but seriously though 130 aint all that you get Vectras and stuff that do that, the new Mondeo 1.8 can and thats a Ford!

[Glen]

VR6 youre not Dwayne Chambers are you?

[golfvr6]

The 16v mk3 top speed is only just above 130, so i didn't think the 8v would get near that.

[Glen]

Theyre still both 2litre and 'the book speed' is 124 for the 8 valve and 134 for the 16 valve so I guess with a little speedo error maybe it was 124ish but it still felt pretty bladdy quick! Still like I say when the engine loosens they do get quicker and mine had racked up 70k and just had a major service so who knows?
Anyway maybe now youll give us 8 valvers the respect we deserve! We may still be show but we have got some go!

When i did over 130mph in my old mk2 16v it scared the sh!t out of me

Its a rapid feeling allright!!!!
