top speed

[Prash]

i've had 120 on the speedo a few times (very very late at night on an empty and stupidly long road) and it still pulled, I didn't want to take it over that as it felt a bit unstable lol

[DMWRIGHT]

On a private road, of course, I managed 133 with my stock GTI

Wooohoooo

Im part of the 130 massive ! haha

Prob coulda gone higher with a longer road, but then again 130 from a newish 1.6 these days is blindin !

Ive had 135 on my own and 132 with bro and mate in car! got k&n panel filter and full on arse kicking magnex system! let the polo breath!

[jon_poloV]

what are the magnex pipes like noise wise etc?
i want to change my powerflow oval 6x4 to a magnex. i only want to do this to get it quieter lol.
i have just the back box at the mo.
cheers jon
any help would be gd!

[carmadaaron]

u like quiet?
most ppl like LOUD as possible.
(i prefer looks as to performance )

[Si_GTi]

Nah I agree with Jon, its gotta be a fairly subtle note for me too. Saw a Golf Mk2 a few weeks ago at the traffic lights with an exhaust that rumbled so loud and deep that you could feel it as well as hear it

Mate's Polo Mk4 has a powerflow system on it, cat back straight-thru and on the quietest possible set-up using the baffles. Sounds really nice to me! Only a slight difference in tone at idle but a lot sportier at high-end revs and not too loud you'd never tell it was there though, he's had it cut to fit behind the bumper...

[carmadaaron]

yeah some ppl have LOUD and we can feel it rumbling

i like the sound of the BMW's 330i engine... subtle and roars when planted

[dubpolo]

im trying to get my dad to put a milteck on his R32 there ment to sound nice!!!!!! i've had 130 an bottled it , me dads had 150, and it gets there sooooooooooooooo easy!!!!!!!!!

[scottb88]

got my old polo off the clock it was a 1.0l with a 16v conv. got my new polo 16v to 125. livingston to glasgow in about 15 mins lol

[bradley1983]

My 1st gti hit 139 mph and this one hits 134 mph but this could be down to the Gearbox rebuilds.

I hit 155 mph in my coupe turbo and been 180 mph on a gsxr, I would never do that again!!!!! For a few years anyway.

[neilGTI]

Mine has seen 140 on the clocks, true speed was probably lower than that though

[Moosegirl]

I got to 120 on the way back from picking the car up.... Then got scared because it was dark and the first time I had driven the car!

Was still pulling though so I dunno what it would have went to

[maidenboy]

Soon as I get the niggles ironed out, I'll see what mine can manage.. Have seen 182, in my old skyline , woulda hit higher, but ran outta strip.. Gutted I sold before I visited the autobahn

The official info for top speed in catalogue as i know is 128miles/ph or 205km/ph. So there is no doubt for reaching 130 miles I have been driving my polo with 140miles and it could get a bit more. With exactly 200km/ph the Revolutions per minute are 6000. Imagine what is the speed if it get to 6800rpm
