I did get about 136mph out of my valver a few years back. Its just not worth it anymore as the PIGS are everywhere.
Its ok to drive at 2 foot away from the car infront when doing 70mph. But if you break the speed limit then you will get hammered.
Bastads. What tends to happen to me is I drive all slow and normal then think lets have a bit of speed, get round the next corner and ello babylon (old bill). Either that or I realise I am being followed.
My golf gti 16v mark 2 was unbeatable, I beat Astra 16v's, Escorts rs turbo, etc etc. Dunno if the previous owner modified the engine but it was like sh!t of a shovel.
