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

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I have had my 83 GTI up to 105 mph.  Stock engine, matche-prted, bigger
T-Body, Early stock exhaust, lowered, w/Evans coolant...  The poor Rabbit is
not aerodynamic, although I would hope that the three piece Zender rear wing
might help at high speed.  I have the A-pillar fairings, but have yet to
install them...  I had my 77 Camper Bus up to 95 mph fairly regularly.  Yes,
it was a big hill, and a very good new engine...  No, it did NOT have
Evans...  :-{}

Regards,
  David

I had my old 16v up to 130 once (as per the speedometer, which was not
all that off). Note this was down a very big hill. I had it just over
120 (again, as per the speedometer) a whole bunch of times.

My '81 Mk1? Who knows, speedometer does not work. The Benz gets up to
it's governed speed of 130 MPH way to quickly.
