Hello,

The official VW figures give 116mph as the max speed.

The most I've ever had out of my stock 1.8 Clipper was about 108. I don't think it would physically possible to get mine to go any faster, bearing in mind they weigh a ton and are about as aerodynamic as a barn.

I've got documented proof of my old cab doing 96! :angry:, but it does have 'ickle wheels.

On the flip side - I did get 150 out of my new toy yesterday, with a fair bit left to go. (private road, obviously) :evil:

Hey Gail, how you doing ?  :grin: I've only ever had about 110 out of mine (while in Germany of course) because I never wanted to push it but I managed to get a best time of 17.208 on the strip at GTi festival which I think is fairly respectable for a heavy floor panned skip !  :laugh: :laugh:

^ sure is! Just got a 2001 GSXR 600. I'm having so much fun, and don't actually miss the cab too much.
