so if thats the case why does everyone on here diss 8v's?

Because it takes about 2 days to get to
 that 90mph in 3rd  :grin: :grin: :grin:

 :grin: the speed isn't the problem, its the acceleration.

Well I think that your 8v clocks are reading very, very optimisticly!

At top speed the Mk3 is quite stable not scary at all, a Mk2 at 135mph borderline brown trousers :grin:
The windscreen used to vibrate into a fuzz from 125 to 130 then go clear.....
I was quite foolish as a young lad :lipsrsealed:
