Top Speed
« on: May 19, 2010, 09:05:09 pm »
personally the fastest ive been is 110 at santa pod as i dont have a private run way, obviously no one speeds on the public roads but im just curious to know what the top speed of our cars is? does anyone know what the 2.0T is capable of? i thought it would be around 160 ish for a car like mine with stage 2+ but was talking to a freind with similar mods who said they go over 170mph  :surprised:

Would be interested to know what sort of fuel economy the golf does at ~170mph, must be about 14mpg?

Had an easy 150 out of mine with a few in the back ( on a private dual carrigeway) so I would say it's a bit over that with how it felt n I've only had a remap.
My d"ck must be massive then?

less than that mate, your probably looking at about 8-10 mpg keeping a speed up like that.

Standard ED30: 145mph on the autobahn. Couldn't reach the top speed to 152mph  :fighting:

Too many factors that stopped you.
