Standard 8v gti top speed

[Gix]

I slip streamed my VR6 for 8 miles in my 2.0 GTI and both read 126mph when the GTI was screeming its little heart out and gave up the chase.

You must all need the cobwebs blowing out of yours, ive had 135 out of mine with my mates VR6 behind me to verify it. (we were on private road by the way)

135  , last time i did that type of speed i was in a renault 19 16v and a corolla gti 1.6

I had 129mph on a autobahn a couple of years ago. That was on a flat road, no slip stream absolutely flat out.

However, recently I callibrated 100mph to be approx 89mph in reality (as per accurate GPS) so 130 is probs about 117 which seems about right to me for a lowish powered hatch

mine goes off the clocks then 10 seconds later i nose dive :S gps says 123mph in a mk2 8v strange tho my poor excuse for a vectra 1.6 16v does 130+ i didnt go over that cause i hit a cats eye and i bottled it but it had abit more in it
