Top speed from YOUR saxo (vid from tooobe included)

[hard_corejoeboy]

B8's are pretty damn amazing though. Still need to get my front wheels aligned. Im scrubbing the outside of my tyres really badly.

Why the hell is everyone saying they maxed out there vtr on the limiter, with a vtr box the limiter is like 150mph, no way is a vtr going to do that.

assuming you were running standard 15" wheels and profiles it will have been 157.9mph.

there are alot of formulas to work out how much hp you will need to overcome drag etc but i cba to go into it so here is a little bit about it.

Mine is doing 135 gps proven on a straight. Not on a video yet.

old vtr went off the clock seriousley far, and didnt take to long to get there either, pulled really hard from 80 to off the clock, shitlower down but it had ph3's in so the power will have been higher in the rev range anyway,

haha, no, not quite. feels a little scary, especially when thoughts cross your mind like, 'what if a wheel bearing or a tyre goes now?' haha, saxo's were just never designed for high speed

^^ What was the vtr box like generally on your car Maddison_vts? Acceleration, general driving etc?

[SnakeVTR]

is this true about vtr boxes geared to 150mph but the engine hasnt got the power to get it there? Because i bought a new box from peugeot/citroen part specialist and mine will be at nearly 6k at 125mph , then again it did seem to pull harder through the gears after i fitted the box so probably a lower ratio, i only drove the car for a week on the old box so never took note of the top speed in each gear .... plus the diff was on it's last legs

[Tontsy]

117! And it didnt seem to want to go any fasterr! And that s a long fuckong road to get there lol...ive had it on the rollers at work tting the limiter in 5th at 130! But take into concideration no resistance ect!

[saxo_singh]

In my furio, all i have done is indusction kit (k&n) and a powerflow exhaust, i hit 120mph, but really thats 115ish. took about a mile or two from 100 to 120 on the clock. im surprised it really hit that speed as manufacters claim is 121mph but there allways wrong.

[northants]

i've got my mk2 VTR up to 125mph on a flat with engine around 6200rpm, if anything very slightly uphill. Dual carriage way on way to portsmouth, the long straight before you start going down onto the motorway. i was racing a 1.4 with vtr body, i dicked him but credit due as he kept up till about 115mph. He'd obviously mod'd somewhere, where as mine is bog standard with a RAMAIR filter. That's it! which is why im confused as to why other mk2 owners are struggling to get past 110???! mine has done 88k miles aswell so its not like its in its prime either?

My Rallye got to 130 according to GPS when we were "testing" and then it hit the limiter dont know what that is on the speedo though as it wasnt working at the time lol

[Morgzc]

~120ish.

[Thunderz]

I had my vts off the clock, more than 140mph. Seemed like it was more like 300mph compared to doing the same speeds in the astra vxr I had.
Was scary lol.
