Default Video Of My 205 Speed Runs (in the wet)
Weather was crap yesterday.. Rain all day. So me and 16v205 (mate from the 205Forum) decided to meet up to do a few speed runs in my 205 gti. Been a little wet i wasnt able to give it 100% throttle but the last run on the video of about 55mph to 135mph is quite impressive as i was in 6th at all time and we timed it in around 9.5 seconds (imagine in the dry and thru the gears)

I dont think i need to say, but this was all done my own test track under the supervision of a pro lol

On a serious note the file is a bit big but worth it. When the car came to get some kind of traction around 110 mph there isnt many fwd cars out their (and its a pug)
