yeah its only just. 6200rev red line (it wont do much past that) and that is around the 220 mark. was all i could get. if only they had the turbo available. mind you this car had ony been released two weeks b4, and the one i had had a mere 147klms on it when i got it.

This is a very recent shot, 😉
I felt a bit fast and furious after the Ford versus Holden show.

Nothing wrong with fast and furious driving.
As long as an officer aint doing the same thing to catch you!
Nows a good time to mention i have done my licence twice. :duh
However aint been caught for anything over the past 2 years. Touch wood.

mm well ours had a good 20000ks on it..and was only at 3500in 5th. so i think we could've gotten a fair bit more from it.

So I guess I need to get the 15's back on the Beetle to break the 70mph factor in the stock 1300 swing axle! Anyone done anything with 14's versus 15'?
Come to think of it the scariest drive I have done was in a Mini Cooper at 120mp +. Needle was in the middle of the Fuel gauge past the 120mph mark. Speed this close to the ground in a go kart is rather exhilirating! Only taken the Alfa to 200Kph before my conscience got to me and the worry about the las with a blue light on the top of the car started to trouble me.... Actually, the Alfa felt no different at 200 than it does at 100.......if anything it sat on the road even more snugly.

Cant you see in my pic, The needle went all the way round and even bounced over the stop,
Thats why it looks as though it is stationary.
Ha Ha Ha
Cheers

The way I look at it is, at 140 your already in trouble but 240 they might not catch ya.
A Cop car has the same Specs as a XR8, and I've got a head start.
:bounce

haha well that's one way to look at it.
though i could imagine the cops being pretty pissed at losing to a vw.

180kmh in my Passat 1.8t, I backed off as the rear was moving around a lot.
just over 200 in my R32, I backed off as I had run out of road.
i want an R32 damnit!! they are nice cars...
meant to be limited to 155mph.. so that's...248kms i think...
i'd think the R32 had a little bit left in her ^^^^

My XR8 goes as smooth at 240 as it does at 100K's , the Car Harmonics are perfect it has a Massive Alloy Tail shaft.
If the dotted white lines hadn't become one long line, I wouldn't even know I was going that fast.

I've had my R32 up to 230km on the South East Freeway very early one morning when it was totally empty, thats with chip and CAI. Marti will confirm it as she was in the passenger seat watching the speedo for me. The car still had a lot of pedal and revs left in it.
The chip removes the speed limiter and up's the rev limiter to 7200rpm.
Track day coming up on Sunday but i doubt the straight will be long enough to find out top speed. Have to take it to a track with a long enough straight or a decent airstrip or the NT sometime to really give it a run.
Cheers Al
My 59 will do 65 MPH!!!
Woo Hooo:thumb

Well...... I'm SORRY for having more then one interest in life.
Do you want to hear how fast my Truck goes? 135 k/p/h.
About as fast as an Air Cooled Beetle.

no offence Flying VW,
it's just that I can hear about standard production cars doing mental speeds anywhere. I am just a bit more interested in hearing about what VWs are capable of...that's all.
I could buy any number of non-VW cars and make them do 200plus km/h. What i want to know is what your humble baja is capable of? Cool? 😎
Cool.. :thumb\
I've had both of them past 90 miles = = = 145 K/P/H.
