Top speed from YOUR saxo (vid from tooobe included)
i know this gets asked ALOT
But just wondering, and its a completly serious question
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7JQF...eature=related
this video i found on tube which im sure everyones seen is a supercharged saxo hitting 160 @7250rpm with a VTR gearbox
Yes i understand a charged saxo will hit alot higher than mine, and it also depends on other mods and sods
my VTR just seems to not have alot of grunt in the upper reaches of the rev range and the most ive seen is 110 (airfield, i dont condone this speed on public highways kids)
no slating please 
Olly

VTR box can go to silly speeds like into the 170s iirc??..
Its just a case of having enough horses to get up to these silly speeds.

No video, at the ring i had the VTS well off the clock. GPS was 134mph Was roughly 6,900rpm was too busy looking at the track, which is about right as the gearbox i had in tops out at around 139mph at 7250rpm.

You should do a road trip across to Elvington in York for one of the Straightliner events. Thats probably only a hour and half from you or so. Worth a day trip at least.

Mine is quick to 100mph but after that it stops pulling as strong, had it maxed out at 130mph.

If your car is finding it hard to pull at 100 or even to hit a puny 110, then your car and yes the engine has not been looked after ither by a previous owner or unfortunetly yourself.
