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

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

Humm glad the system is back out,

Tested my numbers...against the computer gear thing.
Rememebr I recalled it sbeing 240KPH/150MPH @ 6600 RPM, well seems that WAS
a high guess.

205-50-15, 3.67 FD, .89 5th gear @ 6600 RPM = 138 MPH/223 KPH 
But at 7000 RPM I would be going 148MPH (my next goal)

Do the digifiz is off by 10MPH over 130MPH... Ah who would of guessed it!

Note the same specs (205-50-15, 3.65FD, @ 6600RPM  but .75 5th = 165 MPH..
Hummm I do have that FN laying around on the 82.. MUAHAHAH

Perhaps not a new speedo, but a new guesstimator is in order... :)

FYI  A stock 4K is doing 108 mph on 175/70R13.  Even if you had a 16" tire
with a 25" rolling diameter you'd only be doing 119mph at 5700 rpm.  A
215/40R16 has a rolling diameter of about 23.6"

Check out www.scirocco.org/gears for assistance in calculating speeds with
given gear ratios/tire sizes.
