Highest Speed You Have Reached In Your MKV

[MKvUltra]

So, What’s the fastest you have driven in your Mkv, at what time and where did you do your speed run??

Mine is 125Mph in my 07 GTi Dsg at 1:45 am in SoCal :biggrin: I could of gone much faster but I didn’t feel like putting on handcuffs :wink:

[Morph]

130 mph, german autobahn

[attheline]

130 mph, german autobahn

i hate you. driving on the autobahn has been a long dream of mine.

[chris2021]

130(140 indicacted) on I-5 in south western washington at around 11:30 ish

[julito04]

speedometer sttd 143 at about 12:15am on highway 40 in chesterfield valley w/ completely clear highway for about 4 miles(didnt go 143 for 4 miles). On stock Conti all seasons(kind of scary lol)

[xminusx]

130 getting on the freeway the first day I got the car.. thought I was in my old car and I know ' this much pedal = 70-80 mph.' Obviously that much pedal meant 130mph.

[Meat]

146 indicated was 165, the speedos are way off in our cars (but that's a different story and I don't feel like having to prove it again)

[heftylefty]

speedo indicated 158 while i was driving on the one stretch in montana...only did it cuz the road was empty. ill probably never do that again on public roads, way too sketch.

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

45-50 MPH. Still breaking in. :laugh:

[doctorgonzo]

Yah *** indicated GPS confirmed ***, long stretch of Hwy 50 between Canon and Pueblo. Yokohama ES-100's did just fine. The car really hunkers down over uh, 65 , smooooooth

:wink:

[335 Trojan]

this thread will be closed very soon...

[GTI lover all over again]

245 km/h indicated on the speedo! two weeks after I picked up the car! (almost 2 years old now!)

didn't realize it was that fast until I looked down!

11:30 at night on a brand new stretch of road, no one else on it for miles!

haven't even come close since then!

don't feel like losing my license!:burnrubber: :evil:

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

this thread will be closed very soon...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it would. It's not exactly what one would call legal.

[MKvUltra]

why? seems to be an interesting topic to me :biggrin:

[BigMike6986]

yea it was probably started by a state trooper who is tracking all of us haha

[icetraxx]

About 120mph which is what my last car topped out at. Still haven't hit the 130mph fuel cut yet. I can't believe VW gave us H rated tires on this car. :frown:

[mk5nrg]

i still cant believe i havent tried going the fastest in 1.5 years of having my gti and i am damn aggressive driver, maybe just because ny isnt full of straight highways with a perfect road coverage, but ive gone up to speeds im sure all of us did

[335 Trojan]

why? seems to be an interesting topic to me :biggrin:

There was an exact copy of this thread a month ago and it got shut down.

Golfmkv.com doesn't condone breaking the law

[EuroShoes]

x2 on what GTI Trojan said.

146 indicated was 165

[bennylenny88]

i got to 120 mph.. or did i mr officer?

[Wild Hare]

I'm not telling. A friend who's a WSP dude stops by to view here now and then. 60+ is safe to say.

[Si Killer]

x2 on what GTI Trojan said.

HAHAHAHA

YOU BOYS LIKE MEX E CO?

i've done 140 indicated, but i dont plan on going near that again. it was fun, but also a bit retarded.

[MKvUltra]

^ all in good fun LOL :biggrin:

[AndorGLI]

165mph for me

[riledmkv]

Not a dabble over 70.


*cough cough* :bs:

[falconeight]

267.00

[Subie25L]

210KPH / 130MPH on track.

[Cappy]

I went 125 (according to the speedometre) once when I was pretending to be on the autobahn. Then a couple hours later I got pulled over for going about 10 mph over the speed limit. I didn't know how to feel.

[Kauz]

125 for me =). I do it at least once a week during my commute home!

[zooplancton]

125 mph in the car.

140 mph on a naked triumph.

[mose6161]

hit 130 before i got chipped, on a private road of course.

but i got chipped the same day i got my winter tires and i don't go over 115 with my winter tires because they make me really nervous. so i haven't had the opportunity break the stock limit.

fastest ever was 150 in a camaro. i was a scared passenger.

[Blackmagicfast]

did 120mph when i drove my car off the LOT!:biggrin:
my FAST was playing with my mind!:cool:

[MoB$TER]

Did 245km many time's it wouldn't go any further, car felt really stable:thumbup:

[itsYANO]

pulled over doing 130.. clocked at 126.. not a fun day.. coming back from vegas

[Blocko]

180km/h about 10:45pm heading E on Hwy 1.

It was within a couple hours of having the car.

[VDubVirus]

its quite possible I ding the govener a few times a week on my way to work. (back home that is)

can't wait for stg 2 :wink:

[angrybaker]

buck 20

[MC.R]

138.. gps confirmed... on route ****.. it's like 10 straight relatively flat miles of three lanes perfectly paved its great

the direction i was going was graded a little down hill

[Ratchet]

so i honestly havent been near the govener; but i was wondering what codes the comp throws; will any regular tech notice during services, and are there any lights on the dash that stay lit..

i know on some scions they have a gov. light that stays on once they hit the limit..

not sure but it probably does store a soft code somewhere's that says sometrhing to the effect of "max speed reached".. i know every GM vehicle since 2000.. and some of them earlier than that when you hit the governor it stores a generic software code specific to each brand of vehicle they have but the caption is pretty much "Speed limiter engaged" or "Max Speed Reached"

[Meat]

There is no code for any maximum speed violation. The only "max speed violation" code is if you rev higher than the stock rev-limiter. Then a code will come up saying "Maximum Engine Speed Exceeded"

[MC.R]

oh wow surprising... a lot of car companies store at least something if you hit your speed limit whether its 110 120 or 130... interesting.. good to know

[desmo]

On the autobahn in Germany in my dads then new ferrari, indicated 310 km/h. Havent driven my GTI yet, am waiting till next week to pick it up! Even better was that we overtook a 911 turbo!

[Teknophreak]

140 indicated. Maybe 120-125 actual.

[NastyCandyMKV]

MC Fahrenheit, route 44 is great for pegging it! I travel on it to/from work everyday, unfortunately most of the part I drive on is only 1 lane each side. Mostly near Uconn, Storrs.

ahahahaa, take a trip to europe :wink: :biggrin: :happyanim: :happyanim: Rent a GTI, and go nuts in Germany. Driving to Frankfurt (IAA Frankfurt) with the GTI was the most fun, the road had nice long bends... really exciting @ 125+ mph:cool:

i'd love to drive on the autobahn or the 'ring

[SRTthis]

ive bounced off the limiter on a few occasions. speedo read 140 somehow??? lol i know its 130. always done in the wee hours of the morning (between 2AM and 4AM)

[Morph]

i'd love to drive on the autobahn or the 'ring

The funny thing is that after I returned from Frankfurt I looked up where the ring is.... seemed that we drove past it:rolleyes: :cry: :thumbdown: The ring is a good 3 hour drive from my home (Frankfurt was 5 hours :rolleyes: )

Maybe someday I'll get there, if so I'll post it here, with pics and the gti:wink:

ps: driving +125 mph in belgium is near impossible (small country with way too many cars ) , best chances are on a early sunday morning

[mose6161]

driving in germany just seems a lot different from the USA. no one on the road over there fucks around.

and how do you europeans tell which lane your supposed to be in? all you have is dotted white lines! wheres teh double yellow!

came reallllllly close to renting a 280 hp porsche in munchen, germany. would have been straight up nutty.

[Morph]

Well generally we have 3 lains: right = slow , middle = faster , left = fastest , I don't see how's that different from the usa?


Main difference in Germany compared to other european country's: wider lains, and people never get in the way of faster cars on the left lane!!:clap: :clap: It's like some 'code' over there:w00t:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

When i was crossing Germany i had to try their autobahns lol. I have Rabbit 1.9 TDi and i was going 205 km/h. My mother was sitting in the rear and she tought im going 140 :laugh:
But it was just for a moment, maybe 2 minutes. Too dangerous :rolleyes:

[Chrischa]

my clutch said ~167mph

I was playing around with some Lexus going back to school on I90 east. About 1 in the afternoon, not too much traffic but we were weaving at times.

Got up to 130 in the express lane. Can't believe how well the car runs at those speeds.

[nectar]

131 according to my gps

150(ish) on the gixxer

[crazywayne311]

well, from what i was told by a vw tech friend of mine, is that every 1000rpm in 6th gear = 25mph. i've hit 6000rpm...150mph. and i think our redline is 7200 so yeah, i didnt have too much more to really go. anyone btw, agree with this/heard this before?

[Minimaul]

115mph... so, in reality that was like, what, 85? :rolleyes:

[ekk20]

200km/h

[Swifty]

155 in my 06. It was about 2:15 am heading home from Morristown.

[748Rum]

usually cruze at 160-180kph between abu dhabi and dubai but got up to a verified 257kph the other day. stable and smooth with good acceleration up to 220kph then started to slow.

[julito04]

just got a new one yesterday night. Racing an RSX-S, reached 148mph. it was scary with stock conti's

[Gtiguy182]

i think i hat 135mph one time...

[DarkstaR]

only 125mph. I don't have balls to hit any higher

[madvillian]

what does 4th gear top out at? it says 120 mph on my "corrected" speedo, but does anyone know what mph the top of 4th is at?

[micky1]

Drove to Dortmund<Germany to pick up a set of 18" BBS LM's. clocked average speed of 108mph on the way back.......the gti is a true gti. Grand Tourer!

saw 140 plus gps at about 02.30 and it was legal!

Currently own 02' f150 Harley Supercharged, Basically a four door lightning with all the necessary tweaks to get me to near 500 HP. Going to buy 08 GTi and get rid of my gas hog ... anyway Ford installs "flight recorders" in their performance vehicles which logs speed, g's, brakes ect... and insurance companies use this information to deny claims on accidents caused by "unsafe/Illegal" driving. I know someone who had a 02' Lightning and totaled it at 110 from going airborne over some tracks and the insurance company denied his claim because of this log. Just thought I would add my 2 cents.

So on sr 54 last night a 335i blasted past me and I caught up and past it with a higher top speed at 150-160. but I have heard that the speed on the speedo is not accurate.

[FIJIParisi]

when i get my valentine 1 i will take a trip across alligator alley and see what we can do... fastest so far was about 143 indicated in a late model 07 (build date may 07) so IDK if my speedo is as accurate as the 08's or not...

[BlitzMKV]

146 indicated was 165, the speedos are way off in our cars (but that's a different story and I don't feel like having to prove it again)

I almost forgot about that... It almost a blessing in disguise. Only when you go that fast is there such a difference. Was the car stable at that speed?

[Meat]

I almost forgot about that... It almost a blessing in disguise. Only when you go that fast is there such a difference. Was the car stable at that speed?

Very stable, it felt like I could probably go 15 mph faster (granted if I had the horsepower) and still be stable. I had to maneuver around a few things in my path while I was in the triple digits, but the car stayed planted and was very polite.

[Parrothead]

135 indicated

[Hotty]

I never got much past the 100-110 km/h as I don't like speeding on public roads. I am adjusting to the general speed of traffic and at the same time trying to observe speed limits, except when overtaking in a brisk manner, of course. I just enjoy driving, but not speeding. The feeling that I could go much faster if I wanted to is enough for me, thank you.

^^^ you pretty much were nearing redline...again, i think i was at 170mph indicated at somewhere near 6000rpm's in 6th. but again, i think our cars are only capable with ample room of hittin a top speed of 175mph at 7000rpm's. b/c yes, at every 1000rpm is 25mph.

im getting a rabbit this week hopefully it handles better than my tt.i hit 100 once in my tt, but i totaled it then, and now im just afraid to go over the speed limit. I cant figure out how i lost control either. i was going about 100 in wv and the road was slick and i had blizzacks on i dont know if that matters but i guess i went to slow down IN the turn and it just started wobbling back and forth to fast for me to do anything. does that make sense how i lost control?

[hslxsmd]

139MPH :D according to my GPS! garden state parkway/bridge at around 1-2 am with NO cars on the bridge...
never gonna reset my GPS so i can keep the 139 mark

yeah, you didn't know what you were doing. Never go over 90-100 on slick roads, and that's with fresh rubber. God basically told you to slow your ass down via a wall. You're just lucky you didn't kill anyone, or yourself.

110 on the 110 S. :headbang:

[fusion01]

265 km p/h on a downhill at 2am on a week night. Clock is over-rated, but deduct 10% and an additional 3 km p/h (maximum exaggeration allowed by EU standards) it adds up to a nice... round... 235.5 km p/h! Just as advertised. Sounded like a Hurricane fighter jet at that speed, but car was solid. Not to be done again though, not worth the risk when you hit the slightest bump in the road and feel the lift. Scary.

[fusion01]

45-50 MPH. Still breaking in. :laugh:

Car's engine has already been run-in at factory, so not so much of an issue from what I've heard. But if you do, you NEED to give variation to the engine's revs so to make all settle in nicely. If you keep rev's low, you end up running the new-ish parts in too consistently. Best to keep giving the odd punch on the accelerator and let engine rev freely than keep it under 4k or so for 1000 miles. Sure this is reiterated elsewhere on the net too (applies to all new cars as of late).

[fusion01]

BMW do the same on the M series cars.They can download the ecu which gives all the telemetry,great for getting out of warrenty claims.

Don't see how this affects the warranty. Nowhere does it state that if you go over a designated speed that you'll void it. Nowhere. Even over the 235 km max speed (as it's a max speed, right?!). Interesting point though, I should download it and keep on file! Cheers!

[fusion01]

280km/h. Downhill on german highway near EUROSPEEDWAY LAUSITZ. On straight highway 270km/h with 19" wheels (according to speedometer)

Mario

That has got to be the fastest surely? I can't see anyone beating that...? Suppose the engine mods helped, not the wheels though, unless terribly light. And all legal.

[TZSGTI]

122 mph it was a bit down hill. It was on the way to the track. Let me tell you that i did not know i was doing that much untill i looked down and saw the speedo. I never checked the speedomoter if it is on at that speed but since its an 2008 and i have checked other speed, i think that it was my actuall speed. I also once topped out 4th and the speedometer read about 110-111mph so i figured that even at high speeds the 2008 are accurate. Anybody know what 4th on a DSG Tops out at?

[Frogster]

149 Speedo, 139 GPS. I can dig out a video of it if anybody is interested although dont want to get arrested so maybe that isn't a wise move.

[Roca]

not chipped I reached top speed which is 218 km/h which is 136 on the speedo, but chipped i'll push it way passed that, at 218 you just start into 6th gear :p

as fast as the car goes in stock mode on hufs. in the middle of nowhere in idaho or oregon or nevada. dont really remember.

except it was a dead straight road for a good 20 miles and it was recently repaved within a year. next sign of civilization was a good 50 miles away.

[tranceporter]

120ish haven't topped it out yet. don't have enough room on the "safe point" where i hit it.

roughly around 115 mph. funny thing is, it was my sister who was driving. :thumbup:

as for me... 85 mph. :thumbdown:

300kmh is possible as the final gearing ratio allows for 187mph at the redline.

It may have been an indicated 300kmh though...yes?


The power you would need to reach that and how long it would take to get it there is debateable.

I've not really tried stretching the legs on mine, but I've had 146mph on the GPS on a fairly short stretch and it was still pulling like a train!

[Teknophreak]

300kmh...:bellyroll: I wonder how much power one would have to be pushing to hit 300kmh? 450ish??

[conom06d]

155 @6000'. and some other undeisclosed situations. More room to go lets say

[MKvUltra]

6000 feet thats not a MKV :lol:

[conom06d]

6000 feet thats not a MKV :lol:

hahaha lol. nah not an airplane either hhahaha.


i live in a mile high city

[MKvUltra]

Denver?

[conom06d]

nah, prescott arizona. 5,100-5-300' pending where in the town you are.

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i dont go over the speed limit.


its a rabbit...its not fast.

stop offending our cars. i did 130mph and im not chipped yet. and its just 1.9 TDI, not your american fuel superconsuptive 2.0L or 2.5 :mad0259:

[Meat]

I went 146 according to GPS. Crappy speedo said 165...

[VeeeDubn]

stop offending our cars.


Oh dont get me wrong, i love my car...its just not fast.

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Oh dont get me wrong, i love my car...its just not fast.

its no THAT fast, but it is (at least enough for me)

[conom06d]

I went 146 according to GPS. Crappy speedo said 165...

yeah can we take our cars in and get the '08 speedos? they are correct now right

[T-Dub86]

Had the speedo reading 135mph...would be thrilled if its indeed accurate, lol

[bunnyhopin]

115 745pm eastbound southern state

[apexpredator]

I've hit the babysitter that mechanically forces the engine to fuel starve. I'm not saying where. I will say I was headed north at the time, and I could see the ocean.

[twisted by dezign]

190 km/h at midnight on a pitch black highway. It was the only way to keep me awake on the drive.

[thezibel]

Hhmm well i got 240 km/h i think that the max for a stock GTI !!!!!

[Karel S]

The speedo was indicating something between 240-250 km/h in my fastest run so far.

Was done on the autobahn in Germany.

[VeeeDubn]

its no THAT fast, but it is (at least enough for me)

my last vehicle dyno'd @ 390hp 500tq and ran high 12s....

so to me, i feel like im always in the slow lane. hahaha

[twisted by dezign]

How much faster can you go with a chip?

[Stockgti]

250kph!

[Meat]

How much faster can you go with a chip?

Well, you just loose your top speed limiter (130 from the factory) so you can go as fast as your power can take you. Somewhere in the 145-155 range depending on conditions.

[julito04]

Stage 1 can take you into the 160's easy.

[gEg]

taken my rabbit to 180km/h. The roads in Iceland aren't so great so I didn't have the guts to faster.

Was driving in Germany on the autobahn in a mercedes C500 and we took it to 260km/h or sumthing

[Meat]

Stage 1 can take you into the 160's easy.

maybe on your speedometer, but not in real life...

[jeben]

STOCK GTI cant go faster than 240 km/h i am sure of that i mean 100% engine/performance stock.

[Msteadman]

100mph on I83; and that was indicated by the speedo so not incredibly fast.
Crappy PA roads FTL. Hoping to schedule a track day before the summer is over though. :biggrin:

[grada89]

Speed of light... here..

[Sp00nman]

267 km/h (166mph) indicated on GPS (close to 290 on the clock). Deserted desert highway, (did 1500kms in 10 hours that trip and used 5 tanks of gas lol)

[GTIxpinay]

Speed of light... here..

damn what did you do to your car to do that? flame thrower kit?

just a little faster and you can start traveling back in time.

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Doesn't matter what speed you hit, goin over 140 on street tires is just plain stupid.

if track tires are safer on the race track, shouldnt street tires be safer on the street





































































[/SARCASM]

[myhopper]

i did between 120 and 122 mph in my tdi se on the the way home from buying it 250 miles from where i actually live!,
it would have gone faster (although i dont think much more at all?)
had to slow down as was coming to a bend in motorway and didnt wanna risk the cop's being sat around it!

[muskaroxs]

112mph today at an BMW HPDE at gateway International race track. Kumho MX tires "oh and it was like 100 degrees outside :("

[fastgtiboii]

115mph today on the freeway, I know not safe but there was no one...

[importrepairguy]

I did 165 Thru some twisties on my bike today. Does that count? LOL

[robby2161]

I've managed to hit 125mph down I-684 in New York.

[SRTthis]

Doesn't matter what speed you hit, goin over 140 on street tires is just plain stupid.

how is that so? plenty of cars are built to maintain a much higher speed then that on street tires. most benzs, bmws, and porsches can.

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

how is that so? plenty of cars are built to maintain a much higher speed then that on street tires. most benzs, bmws, and porsches can.

afaik there are few types of tires depending on how fast u want to go on them. normal tires are not made for very fast driving

[fusion01]

Doesn't matter what speed you hit, goin over 140 on street tires is just plain stupid.

Very interesting. 140 miles p/h = 224 km p/h. 'Y' rated tyres are tested / speed-rated based on a maximum of 290 km p/h.

224 km p/h is way under the potential maximum. Therefore safe. Unless you consider the ratings are BS? Hmmmm....

[Meat]

As long as your tire pressures are correct and the tires you are using are suitable for the speed you are traveling you will be fine.

Z rated tires are good to 149 mph
W rated tires are good to 168 mph
Y rated tires are good to 186 mph

[conom06d]

^and those aren't gti speedo mph....they are real ones just so everyone knows

[Sayemthree]

165 mph = but it was in my e46 M3. easy to do in that car.

[John/Cue\Publik]

153mph @2am on a sunday and I'm not saying where because the spot is never patrolled and I kinda wanna try to break my record in the same spot once the turbo goes in and I have some new tires, kinda smoked on one a bit too much since that happened. I must say though 153 did not feel all that crazy. I've done 120 in the rain and that didn't feel that crazy either. On the other side of things when I threw freight at nights at safeway one of my co-workers had a c5 z06 and 176 did feel crazy, hell anything over 120 felt crazy in that. The rabbit feels much more firmly planted but then again it isn't rwd, 600lbs lighter with a potent v8 breakin the tires loose all the time. The craziest and dumbest speed I've hit was somewhere past 110 in my old cavalier in AZ in the middle of the night. couldn't say how fast I was going cuz the spedo only hits 110 but the governor doesn't kick with cruise on and I went a few miles with the needle burried and the speed broke (waranty claim at a dealer in New Mexico who understands these things) 85 in that cavalier was more sketchy than 153 in the rabbit and thats just how you drive in the middle of nowhere

[mdonders]

153 in a rabbit? awesome. :happyanim:

[Meat]

153 in a rabbit? awesome. :happyanim:

I'm going to go ahead and say that 153 is due to out terrible speedometers. I don't think it was actually that fast seeing as that is around the top speed of the GTI and the rabbit is packing less HP with the same frontal area. It was still probably around 140 which is fast, but not 153.

[dieselraver]

:clap: :clap: :clap:

dude i have always wondered... what is that green light on your speedo in your sig?

[Shood87]

I hit 120 on the PA turnpike at least that's what my spedo said. A week later I got nabbed going 100 on that same road by a state trooper. I hate cops. My court date is August 12, wish me luck.

[wilytech]

dude i have always wondered... what is that green light on your speedo in your sig?

Looks like the 'press brake' light

[MrBooby]

257mph in a 25

[GTIzzle07]

I've managed to hit 125mph down I-684 in New York.

hit 145 on that road

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

I did about 135....








...in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

[blackgti06]

161mph on rt 80eastbound around 1:30am. i was in 6th gear at 51200rpms. still had room but the road was ending. It took forever to get t0 161mph. That was with intake fmic short shifter apr stg1.

[maxgtiturbo]

95

[mike2727]

155 and still going strong with 3 people in the car and airco on :wink:

[Raven6t9]

My Spedo stated it was 142. It was really early in the morning, like 1am or something on I880 and I had just gotten StageI.

[Raven6t9]

95
How can you have a screen name like "MAXGTITURBO" and not have taken your car over the 100mph mark yet? lol.
I'd almost expect to hear your screen name said loudly from a deep voice with an echo. kinda like M-M-MONSTER TRUCK MADNESS!!!! lol.

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

[Viking445]

130ish on the 15 north at about 3am in the morning with no cars infront or behind me.

Smooth as silk and actually not all that noisy. :thumbsup:

[Marky-Mark007]

About 11:30 the other day I took it up to 130 indicated on this small section of almost always abandoned, never patrolled tollway, and forgot to look at the gps I'd picked up earlier in the day for an actual speed. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to do it again, haha.:rolleyes:

[haveacigar]

even if you dont spot a patrol car, you might find a bit of road kill or pothole that can take all the traction away from your car going over 120...
not saying i havent gone over 120, but not saying i have either.

[GTIWV]

95. lol

[DeathB4Dishonr]

if anyone remembers the dual climate control trick that shows out speed, any idea how much more accurate that is than the speedo read out?

[Red Rider]

630 MPH last week............................on United.

Actually the pilot said the speedo is off and it was actually about 575.

[AndorGLI]

if anyone remembers the dual climate control trick that shows out speed, any idea how much more accurate that is than the speedo read out?
its almost 100% accurate on the climate controlll....

[Marky-Mark007]

Yeah, that's another reason I only ever take it up past 70 on that tollway, its a super nice, smooth, straight road that I've never seen animals within a mile of. And I drive by it at least three times a week. But I do get really scared for my car at that speed. And I wish there wasn't a limiter, or that there was an invisible chip within my price range.

[maxgtiturbo]

wow lol i was kidding my fastest is 120 ish

[maxgtiturbo]

This.

It is sig worthy. Do it!


sig-ed lol

[Raven6t9]

I grant you permission. You are now the keeper of the new sig.

[toanjo]

I hit a deer at 65 in a 5000 lb truck. It was pretty scarey, lots of force and bent sheet metal. I wouldnt want that coming at me through the windshield. Do they make a cow-catcher for the GTI? That would be a sick mod.

[Raven6t9]

sig-ed lol
Yay! I made a sig!!!

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

its almost 100% accurate on the climate controlll....

and 150% on your cigarette lighter

[bostonaudi]

Hit 135 in northern VT on Route 91 way up in Northeast Kingdom. Car felt like it was pretty much out of breath at that point. No one around, but did manage to get tagged with Laser from friendly Vermont State Cop sitting at truck weight stop. After getting pulled over (I thought I was extremely burnt toast), he explained he was becoming familiar with Laser and was basically on training with it. He kindly asked me to slow down - in case I hit a moose. Sure enough, about 5 mi down the road, a big female moose came up the bank and started towards the road, I was going 70 now, and slowed down easily, at 130 I would have been meatcake* (a moose weighs 1000 lb plus easy).

* Meatcake - the late, great George Carlin's take on meatloaf, it isn't meatloaf, its MEATCAKE!

[dieselraver]

how do you guys deal with the lack of downforce on your cars? i hit about 80-90 regular driving and on turns and bends the car just doesnt have alot of downward force, i mean, my uncles Porsche Turbo easily hit 120 on bends, and it stuck to the ground like glue

130 mph on the Autostrada in Italy, and that was with 4 people in the car. The posted speed limit was 100 K/H, but nobody pays attention to that. Everybody speeds over there.

[Shoof]

Last week, driving down to SC, 2am, not a car on the road for miles...Car showed about 140mph, while my Garmin GPS showed 133mph. I have it recorded and saved on my GPS's Trip info. The car would not go any faster than that....

[SRTthis]

i am confirmed at 150mph (162ish speedo) gps. it took time and effort though to get there.

[sherif65]

260 km or 155 mph

[GTI_5]

240 km/h (according to the speedo; unmodified 2007 MY08 MkV Golf GTI, DSG, 3-door), slightly downhill.

I'm waiting for an appropriate opportunity (preferably on level ground) to push it further and see how fast it can go.

:smile:

[Khobin~]

~235-240 kph... stock. Could have went faster but had to start braking... :biggrin:

[MoB$TER]

255km.. Used to be 245 before intake. And once 270 with a help of my cousins 350z!!

[g60_corrado_91]

I hit 149 according to my GPS. Speedometer was at 160ish.

[BunnyWabbit]

i hit 120mph in my MKV Rabbit =)

No such problem here (perfectly fine at well over the 130-145 km/h you refer to).

I imagine you're seeing this because VW increased the ride height of the North American version of the Golf GTI (apparently because of really crappy roads in the USA), and also enabled a speed limiter?

[skacoreimplore]

63 mph

[akukuman]

80mph yay

[ViRtUaLheretic]

130, and that was pre-chipped
