9N - What's the fastest you've driven?

sylonien · Post by **sylonien** » Thu Oct 28, 2004 11:50 pm

Just out of curiosity, how fast have you ever been so far with your Polo?

I was coming back from London today on the M4, pissing it down with rain, driven 3200+miles in total with my almost 2months old car, so I thought I'll floor it for a bit, went to about ~72.3mph then I lifted my foot.

Scared of a few things, the very wet road and the police. Low on fuel too.

Generally, we're not too keen in these sorts of conversations in this forum. It damages the reputation of the site (which we've *all* worked hard to build) and could, potentially, put the posters into a difficult legal position.

It's been ages since one cropped up and with with many new members on the board recently (yay!) it was bound to happen again sooner or later.

So, please, can everyone treat this is a gentle reminder.

Cheers,

Deek.

LOL Thats is very true. But somehow it should be ok to speak of top speed on this forum if you take your car to a private track.

Am i correct?

My one occurs at 10mph!
Can it be adjusted??

Ive got VAG-COM but im not sure how to use it.

Is that a standard thing on the Polo or something extra? ^

@Wai_Mak - I was just thinking the same thing actually. Well I thought of it after I've been told that.

What if I went to Santa Pod or something like that?

)

LOL my back garden- i think fastest speed ive been on my private track in my garden is about 10mph. Any more then i will hit the wall!

The auto lock is adjusted using VAG-COM

Im trying to figure how to test 0-60 perfermance! but cant seem get used to VAG-com =(

I have a 1.6 without catalizer and with air filter. I think i will easily get to the 200 k/h

Isn't it illegal to not have a catylist?
