Default 160mph.........
Do you have any idea what 160mph feels like in an RS Turbo??

Well, it feels like Mr Heinz himself dropping 2 ton of baked beans directly on your chest then poking spaghetti hoops in your eyes.

Just thought I'd share that with you.

wtf?
I guess that it is nothing like 160 in anyother car then.
160 in mine feels a little different to that.

I would imagine it feels like a an rst....

Why would speed make a difference.. ? Aside the fact its fast.

Mine feels same @ 100 to what it does at 160.

You wanna get on the back of bondy on the beeeek

Rudey, I can assure you that, whatever anyone else has said, my thread was merely intended as a bit of comedy. I have nothing against Sunny and look forward to him reclaiming the record with his new engine.

Doesn't mean his signature doesn't make me laugh though!!
