Top Speed?

[Polygon]

No, this not another one of those.

Someone was asking this everlasting question on Facebook. I don't know the answer as he's asking about a stock SL. However, it seems that they can go damn near as fast as a stock TT with only the addition of a CAI, racing plugs, and 101 octane. :rolleyes:

I sure hope that clown doesn't post here or any other 3S sites. Just thought you guys would get a small kick out of that.

Not on Facebook so I can't view it, but the story reminds me of the "500 hp SOHC" that I found on Myspace several years back.

Um, I had my 92 base auto hit 140ish slight uphill and had a little more. I can see him getting that. Now the guy hitting 156, mmmmmmaybe not.

I have hit 144 in my SL before I sold it. Thats all it had. This was on a straight level road that is 120 miles long. I have only gotten the VR-4 to 155, but I shut it down, and it still had some room to go. That was @11psi on my 9bs. I would be really curious to see what it can do with the 13t's @ 23psi.

With 13t's it will do around 3 grand out of pocket and two weeks of 3 hots n a cot... lol

I am assuming you are talking about prison?

[CoopKill]

LOL Nah, just jail... Unless you get a little to unruly with the cop!

hahaha.

Right, like a ford focus can hit 160.

A stock VR-4 on wastegate will do 151 indicated (something like high 130's, low 140's) :suspect:

I've personally seen an SL do 145.. Yes speeding is bad. I know I know. I've also done 155 in the VR4(kept on going when the SL let up). I was only endangering my own life since I was on an interstate at 3 am with no one around(except the SL) and only me in my car.

I use GPS on both of those runs. Unless you are meaning wastegate as in 6psi then I could see high 130s low 140s. My 155 run in the VR-4 was 155 on the GPS and I believe about 175 on the speedo. My speedo is irrelevant when doing those speeds, so I couldn't really look at it. I was interested in seeing that the Max speed was on my GPS, which was 155.

Any difference in top end with the 6 speeds?

[stealthee]

A 6 speed is geared higher so you could theoretically hit ~244 mph, versus a theoretical 204 mph on a 5 speed.

Oh, I know the speedo is useless. I was running wastegate boost, and it took eons to get to an indicated 150 on the speedo, and I kept my foot planted to the end of 4th (downhill by this point) before I decided to stop being a flaming idiot, lol.

Stock, you're limited by power. Like Brian said, with enough power, the 6 speed can hit a higher top speed.
