Top speed of a standard 200ps tfsi

[bonelorry]

Top end is irrelevant to me, Its all about 30-50MPH, 30-70MPH etc....In gear performance where you actually need it for 99% of the driving you do on the roads.

Anything over 100MPH on public roads is not wise or safe.

[The666]

A gazillion mph.

Why does it matter? It doesn't take any skill to drive fast in a straight line and it's frankly dangerous on public roads.

I'm way more into the twisty turny stuff.

agree. twisty roads are soo much more fun. motorway just puts me to sleep I'd rather be a passenger after the first 10 minutes of a motorway drive.

+1

Also, admitting doing those speeds on a public road, on an internet forum...

I'm not sure it's admissible in court without corroborating evidence, but yeah, probably not wise to announce such things publically!

As for 150mph, no chance where I live.  90-100 tops and only for a few seconds.

I hate to think what mapped Edition 30s are capable of.  170ish?

We went for eurotrip last December and clocked 160mph when we were in Germany.
Stock GTI but it was not GPS speed.

That's fast lol

Indicated and actual are two very different things at those speeds.........

Downhill doesn't count either!!!! 

Lol it does when your bombing it down 

On paper a standard GTI maxes out at 146mph

They lied to you 

A gazillion mph.

I could be talking out me buttocks so not admitting out

Just curious to know what's the top end limit that's all.

Is there any place in the UK where you can actually test your top speed? Like an airstrip or something similar?

You can go over to isle of man no speed limit there   

[Adam0604]

Sure there are probably abandoned airfields around you could do it on.

I'm not sure how accurate the speedo is on my golf, I had a GPS with over 8 satellites & there was near on a 10 mph difference! I did have a feeling 80mph felt slow for 80mph.
I got caught speeding last year, I never do over 100 any more now, far too risky, plus so many other fools on the road, imagine some tw@t doing 50mph dawdling along & your speed testing at 150+??

if you know any abandoned airfields near London or anywhere in the UK please let us know. There probably is but its still gonna be gated and no access.

[Adam0604]

Go off the speedo reading if I was you, not your GPS speed.
Speedo reading will give you measurement at the wheels.

Fairly certain there are two or three in East Midlands area. Abingdon is one that springs to mind

[samiul11]

Theres one where VMAX is held in leicestershire but dont think thats possible for us to use 

[gtipirelli]

Bruntingthorpe has a long runway where vmax events are held. Gti international was there for a few years

My mapped Pirelli goes through the 10mph increments crazy fast well into 3 figures

[The666]

Langer airfield

[samiul11]

Maybe we can have a forum meet there
