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



Heheh dan, 

I can only report what my dash tells me.. And yes I realize I was not that
fast :) but it was surely nice to be at 6600RPM in 5th and not seeing the
GSR get away from me :) (wanted to calculate it but .org is still
unavailable.)

I am back to analogue now, and I am going to do some "mile marker" test to
see what differientials I have.

No, no Patrick!
It's not just the 16V guys calling Bullshit on your 245 kph claim.
Hell! That's 7100 RPM with your tires and tranny!
About 40 MPH above your power peak. (not to mention that was back when your
engine was making 97
whp)
Not too likely, but believe what you want to ;^) Dan
