Only had it 6months so im guessing previous owner :/ since ive had it ive changed oil filter, oil, doing cam belt and water pump soon, so basically all ive done (since its my first car) is look after her

My standard vtr seems to take its time after about 80....but thats only because im comparing to a stage 1 1.8t.

i've had mine off the clock on a vtr box and held it until it hit 7,000 rpm and then had to brake. haven't got a clue what speed that was. wasn't slow though.

Love it!

[jonathon5]

127 mph on the speedo on my vts , still accelerating very slowly

[SnakeVTR]

ive had 125mph from mine, there was more left to go but i had to let off , but not a lot of pull left in the vtr lol, especially after 115mph

[-shuggles-]

128mph on the sat nav

it was of the clock when the sat nav said 112 which shows how good the speedo's are off

[lharrowing]

my westy with vts conversion has pretty much maxed the clocks as far as im aware no major engine mods have no video to confirm but have the max speed achieved on sat nav was pretty shockeed

[french_baguette]

70mph is the fastest i have been

Im not sure how some of you 8v boys are geting higher top speeds than that of a 16v though?

[Cammy]

Had mine on the limit of the gearbox, that's about it, about 125 mph?

Slow compared to the motorbikes I used to ride but I've been over 140-150 on one before I started to slow down as doing that on a bend and getting the bike loosing grip is not a nice feeling!

[wicked-vtr]

I had 125 on the clocks of the 8v, took AGES to gain speed after about 90 -100. Had 130 on the clocks of the 16v before i bottled it, still pulled like mad, if anything it pulled harder the faster i got (it is cammed though)

Before i get slated this was carried out on a local runway

[Lewis1600]

My old VTR mk2 i hit about 120 or just over then I put the 4-2-1 on it and it went down to about 115mph then it was like 116.....117.....118...... lol! never really botherd with top speed really...
Used to fly to 90 then it was a sturggle then after 90 lol but it to 90 quick!

But I went in my mates VTR mk1 and we hit 130mph... he claims to hit 135 though...

we have video proof of 130 aswell...

[chinkostu]

with the VTR box in it used to hit 110/115 on the clocks no problem

with the 1.1 box its normally just about 110!

[hard_corejoeboy]

140MPH on the clock in my VTR GTI on a downhill stretch on the M25 early hours of morning LOL
Wasn't that scary tbh but it was stupid....

[Steve]

anything over 120mph feels like the doors and wheels are going to fall off tbh

[hard_corejoeboy]

LOL that was how i lost one of my mirror caps.

most common one is VT archs coming off lol

[hard_corejoeboy]

Oh yeah and that one. The bottom door panel is trying to unattach itself from the front of the bumpstrip as well lol

[wicked-vtr]

My vts felt pretty solid at speed, much better than the vtr. I spose thats cause its on b8's not crappy apex dampers
