my 1st 16v i managed 141 on gps 150 just over on the speedo. took a white to get there was at about 7300pms. 16" wheels as well may have helped.

i see , would you say this would run 163mph
if managed to get up to 7k or am i missing the point
such as drag etc ?

standard f7p engine and a renault 9 gearbox btw :P

ive hit the 7200rpm limiter in the f7r got to 7k in a valver and 7500 in a valver with a few trick bits, chip etc,
144 in the hybrid with no more revs, about the same in the 1.8 i had with, chip, cams etc
Wouldnt want to go any faster!

Indicated 145mph from my old Valver, didn't get it to the limiter though sadly!
have done 135 on the GPS, was reading up at 150 odd on the clocks though. But had to slow due to lack of private runway, it was still pulling.
Never managed more than 145ish (indicated in the Willy) as it only rev'd to 6600-7000rpm (depending on it's mood). Had the 172 upto 151mph on GPS and wasn't really willing to go any quicker... was up a slight hill too with a passenger.

Had the 172 at just over 140 indicated whish was 130 on the GPS. Cant say I looked at the revs!!! Was fast enough for me in a Clio! Left Daves valver behind ;)
