Must have been a pretty steep hill for a Mk2 16V.. LOL. 
Ok, just kidding....

Was that with the stock gearbox? That would be like 7K wouldn't' it?

I tried this with my old Cosmos81S with JH, 2H w/ .75 5th, G-grind, 5KTB,
euro dist., BVM header, 2" exh.-no cat, and K&N/fresh air from high-beam
bucket.
Got up to around 125mph (guestimated with 110 mph speedo), it was singing
well over 5K but It was windy and I was not brave enough to push it further.
Without the K&N it would have probably only been about 100mph tho'...:-)

Got up to 115 or so (Hwy 5) with the Mars Rover but wasn't really trying,
just breaking in the motor. Cruised like that for 15+ min. till traffic came
up.
Same mods (came from the RIP car above) with more displacement (tt engine)
and FF tranny should be good for 130+.
Need to install my 220km speedo and then I'll try it next time I'm out on
Hwy 5

	Yeah, something is wrong. My friends rocco could get up to 140. It
was mostly 
	stock...just had TT exhaust, and a K&N I think. No internal mods at
all, and
