Had a bit of a race with a fiat coupe turbo the other night there a tuned one at that and he cut me up and once i could get out and get it motoring because a car was in front of me i passed him at 130mph and looked at my clock next ant it was not far off 160 shit my self although the roads were empty and is a straight road (by-pass) is still shit my pants and got to thinking my car was pulling really really well and wondering what she would top out at whats the ususal guys for a tuned up stage 3 saff

 

Some of those 20v Coupe Turbo's are far from slow. Even if they do look like those wedges you kick under doors to keep them open

 

If the needle is near 160, then your probably not far of a genuine 145/150 is my guess, seeing as all older Ford speedo's under-read a fair bit (how much exactly tho I don't know - I know my old 3i had an indicated 127mph on it, but along side my mates Astra GSi, his speedo only read 119 )

 

Well his was defo modded by the word on the streets round here could see this by the way it was shiting and chuffing black smoke out on boost i should him what was up though , cossies are fast machines for sure a looong way from my old rst

 

Lop off 10% from the clock reading as a start and you'll be a bit nearer your real speed. All speedo's over read

 

after reading the topic title i thought this was gonna end up in the mens room

 

 

me old man had 165 mph on his speedo racing new scooby wrx's and he a liitlle bit left (on private road of course!!) and he was right on his bumper so aint a clue what acutal speed we were doing!

oh and his is stg 3 saff aswell

I remember being in my cousins boyfriends 20v coupé, and that thing flew!!

Indicated 148mph, very fast cars!! I dare say his was modded aswell, but still, bit of a weapon!

At a guess, id say stage 3 cos would be good for an indicated 170mph? ish, but, as said, the speedo will over-read a bit, so probably 5% slower in reality.. ish?

 

nice one mr rab dude

 

There is a lot of really quick stuff about at the moment, not sure how I am going to keep up once mine is sorted.

My RSi speed was ok, at 120mph on speedo, the GPS said it was actually doing 110mph, so not a million miles out.

 

the over reading speedo is justa bout cancelled out if you have bigger wheels on though remember

 

I went to a Fiat Coupe rolling road shoutout at PTS a while back. My cossie got whooped by a few fiat coupe turbos

One of them got 350bhp

Lets just say i was certainly supprised and left in a hurry
