I don't know why I always read these threads.

Anyway, I distinctly recall the driver hitting the 8500 rpm rev limiter in 5th gear of a mk4 I was tuning. It had 28" tall tires and the stock US 6 speed gearing. The butt GPS said about 600 miles an hour. I think he would have redlined 6th too if he didn't see me climbing out of the window.

more like in the region of 165 mph....:icon_bigg

I suck at math but, I have gone 160ish before and wasn't really scared. I think we were going a bit faster than that.

The car in question has trapped 138 in the 1/4 (on low boost) in 3rd gear...

It makes it harder to go that fast, but I've gone over 100 with the top off.

It's definately easier with the top on and windows up for obvious reasons...

lol, i did 125 or so with the top off back when i didn't know you weren't supposed to do that

The owner's manual doesn't state anything about going fast with the top off :naughty:

It's not a TVR where the windshield wipers lift off the glass at 70MPH and the back glass blows out if you go over 100 with the windows down...
