Friday - what's the fastest you've ever taken your Scirocco?

[roog at shaw.ca (Riley McDowall)]

225 km/h, on the flat, on two different occasions.  Tires were
215/40/16, which have an overall diameter *very* close to the stock
185/65/14 (is that really the stock size?  God, it's been forever since
I had or knew anyone with OE stuff).  

OK, I had a few mods that helped: 2L block, ported head, match-ported
50mm intake, Schrick 276es, full exhaust + Supersprint header, Euro CIS
injection.  It actually hit 225 quite easily, but at that speed the rev
limiter is literally right around the corner in 5th so there really
isn't anywhere else to go :)

my old 87 mk2 16V scirocco was good for 200kmph one night heading into
Toronto on the 404/DVP...that was rolling on my Zender Turbos with 195
50
R15 rubber...Didn't matter, I was trying to keep pace with a well tuned
and slammed 92 GTX and a slammed on 16's 95 GLX
Both left me, my Scirocco was a low mileage (169K kms all original
car)...that and I noticed a slight vibration at 190 and didn't want to
go
faster, I'm sure 220 would have been do-able.
