50 to 80 in 5th

[Overseer]

i'd still be in 3rd at these kinda speeds 

like dizzie said its about the revs.. if want access to the power you gotta work a 16v to keep the revs up..
3rd gear is good for about 80 ish in a mk3 valver.. i doubt theres much difference with a mk2 valver

how high does a mk2 16v rev? a mk3 16v redlines at 7200..

[Gambit]

aye mk2 16v redlines at 7200, but there's no point going over 6.5k in them as the power tails off from then onwards

done the little test last night and i timed it at 14s using the stopwatch on my phone!

hehe 

forget all about it. coulda given it a go in mine..


i've heard of people using their cd players.. they press play at start of a track.. then hit pause at 80.. lol..

roughly 12 seconds for 8v with K&N and 3/4 Milltek exhaust, and i mean roughly!
