Re: Scirocco Top Speed?

["Peter Walsh" <cerksies@hotmail.com>]

I think they get faster in their prime :-).

Mine has 255,000 miles on it and I had it up to 130 MPH for a good 5-10 
seconds b/f i thought I should slow down (if I had better tires at the time, 
Id'v tried a bit further).  Mods were glaspack (good for higher top end b/c 
better flow) and K&N swiss cheese.
