nope, you can just tell them youre gonna do a top speed run and then you dont even have to go through the cones (didnt what i was there in 09 anyway). Then just let her rip :)

The stupid thing is though that even at 150 it looks like youre doing about half that because the runways so bloody wide!!

150 would be a great effort from the 1.4 polo though!

Whats the gearing like on the polo? How many MPH per 1000 RPM in top gear?

It is around 30mph/1000rpm in 7th. I'll check later.  :happy2:

Checked on way home.

5th - 1.4krpm = 27mph
6th - 1.4krpm = 35mph
7th - 1.4krpm = 40mph

That means 7th would get me 200mph at 7krpm!?!  :confused:

A 300 shot of nitrous and a blatant disregard for human life oughta do it.....

Don't mean to burst your bubble John, but 150+ would be near impossible from the Polo IMO. That is of course unless Hurricane Rita makes a re-appearance of the coast of Norfolk  :signLOL:
Stage 2+ TFSI's only just tipped 155+ last year (showing 170+ on the speedo) as there's just not enough room (1.6 miles) to hit the cars 'top end'. Saying that, I never entered the runway with a run up when I did my top speed run, but IMO that won't make a huge difference anyway (maybe 2mph extra). It just doesn't work out like that..

youre most likely right with that, although no harm in trying :)

what sort of speed were you hitting the runway at last year on your top speed runs?

is was your golf that hit 16.5 wasnt it? i think that record will be going this time round :) I think we should pose the suggestion to the MLR to have a little FWD trophy :) always good to spice things up a bit eh?

LOL, like I said, the target is 150mph, but I'll be lucky to get to 145mph. Anything over 140mph would be acceptable.............this year! :evilgrin:

MLR have their sprint series as well.  Id love something like that for VAG.

Yes mate it was mine that got the 16.5 and 158mph IIRC. I only did the one top speed run (on my first run) so entered the runway @ about 20mph. TBH I wasn't that arsed about the top speed runs, as it just wasn't suited for that anyway. Plus my car (although Stage 2+) still had the wanky OEM FMIC, so didn't like high speed runs.
The FWD record will defo go this year after seeing what's attending (4/5 500+bhp fwd cars for a start). But with a stock/full weight Ed30 with just TBE, Intake, HPFP and software, it's no great shame IMO   :smiley:

Well I looked at last years runs and there was a Renaultsport R26 with stock power (230bhp) that did the run in 35.9 so that is my target to beat for starters.

It was a 16.63 run for you Ben and I'll get nowhere near that! :laugh:

Not run in one of these before what kind of times would the 16.63 (Ben) run up the 1/4 mile and the speed??

May be able to see what my car would achieve then
