Default MK 2's and top speed......LOL.....pulled the limiter in 4th.

The top speed is about 157 in fourth on the limiter...

Car pulled it and i never realised the rev's were that high, again thanks to karl for that.....

For saying the car has 16's now over the 15's the car feels faster than before..


SO does the MK 2 have enough to pull the limiter in top which is 176.....

Think it might be worth a trip to brunters to see

Best I saw was 120mph with a 1600 powered mk1, revving like hell & then burnt out a spark plug!

Unlikely. Bet it does 168 tops. . Purely because of shonky aerodynamics and power characteristics of T3/4.
