Well I've made my speedo say 142.  How fast I was actually going?.. who knows.. If I was to say it was ten percent inaccurate i'd say I was doing 156.2mph.. but I'd say its more like 134 in reality ;)

btw..  where the 8v owners gone? they surprisingly quiet in here..

Blow it out your @ss

Before I got my license back (for the 4th time), I'd go out right now and see.  Now I'm more a keep it at 70-75 (at all cost - fun during rush hour).

However my answer wouldn't be valid anyway, I've got an automatic (whimper).  Couldn't help it, though, I didn't see passing up the car for $1500 just for that.

As for top speed, I remember playing tag with a Benz coming back from skiing in Vermont @ around 120mph for a few hours, 'til he got pulled over in Connecticut.

Ive topped out the 140mph dials with my golf and it was still accelerating. Got a bit hair raising when I could see things on the horizon one second and the next they were in the rear view.

Just realised this is mk3 section, but mines a mk2. soz
