Everyone is copyin my quote lol, think I'm gonna try n max my car out next year on the autobahn if I manage to get enough pennies by for a trip to the ring

Off the clock 160mph+ genuinely in Germany, 4 up, on the Kerpen autobahn on route to Schumacher karting from the Nurburgring!
Stage 1 tweaked with 7.5degrees timing advance (Water Methanol Injection) etc!

I think the cupra r could really do with a rear diffuser at those speeds to make it more stable, as when i had 160 out of mine it felt pretty light

Ill have to visit this autobahn lol think its called the M4 in Wales aswell

surely it depends on the final gear ratio? more power or mods wont make any difference unless your geared to bo beyond 160 for example.

Exactly.

Cupra R is such a smooth ride compared to my last car. Don't realise how fast I'm going sometimes!

There is a formula you can use to work out exact maximum speed based on the gear and/or final drive ratios, think it worked out about 162.something MPH for the LCR. Bear in mind that this will look a lot higher on the speedo as they always over-read.

Depends on which limits the car, final gear or lack of power to fully utilise it
Effects of drag and aerodynamics will be much noticeable

8bit has a point about speedos there normally 4 -7 mph out

 

[t32er]

every vag car i have been in with a tw@-nav has been 4mph out bar my old cupra, that was 4 out but then i got it to be 1 out when i changed the foil on the clocks to white ones, took me bloody hours and a tank of fuel though, not woth the messing around either lol

 

[STUSSY]

158 I would say I had out off mine on stage one. took it's time getting there but was a long privte road

 

[shaun.]

mine is totally standard and i backed off at 153ish on the autobahn

Good luck keeping your license mate. I've never seen more speed traps anywhere than I have on the m4 through wales!

 

[Henjo24]

I never would hit those kind of speeds mate I have a 2 year old daughter and wanna see her grow up! 1 popped tyre at those speeds and your dead ! Im a slow driver ;-)
