Enes' So that's why you asked yesterday about my top end runs,

I see your RPMS/MPH is just past where I said another DSMR's where when he did 168mph.


And for those that don't think a DSM can do 160mph. Here a clip of a car that has the same interior as mine but..... isn't my car ;) ..... hitting 160mph.... This was the camera person's first time running the camera so it's bouncy, and would have come out better if they hadn't zoomed in. Also this clip was taken off a TV cause I guess that person couldn't down load the video to the net from ther camcorder.

Anyrate if you want a clear shot of 160mph mark, pause the video at 3 seconds into the clip and slowly move it forward till it hits 4 seconds or till the 160mph is clear as day.


Also the other video's from that side look like my old car but aren't - I just happened to find these videos on the net about 4 years ago someplace. But I can't remember where I found them. ;)

I also heard this guy did a run to 168mph just prior to this 160mph run but didn't get it on tape as it was just a spontainious thing he did and after that fact he wanted to do it again but get it on tape. But at 160mph noticed his temp gauge was pegged. So he backed off.

How accurate is a DSM speedo? Use GPS or it doesn't count. ;)

Whoa... The BS is getting so thick now I can bearly walk through it. Time to get the knee high boots on. In Brian's little video, you can plainly see where the temp gauge should be:

I also find it ironic that Enes boost gauge is in the exact postion it would be in if the car was at idle. And come-on, do you think anyone going 180mph in any car would be able to get that clear and centered picture of there gauge cluster. I've gone 165mph in a Stealth before. Its damn scary and very bouncy.

If someone can find me the gear ratios for a 2g FWD turbo, we can put Enes little practical joke to rest. :lol: It is funny though.

later,
Curt

thats the thing.. with 225/18/40 the spedo is off by probably 3% or something..

BS

According to this calculator http://www.volkswagen.org/tiresize.htm and your tire size, along with 2G turbo FWD final drive and 5th gear ratio according to vfaq.com, you should have been doing 184 mph at 7600 RPM.

there is no way you have enough power to hit 184, much less the time to do it.

[Enes]

calculate it at 7500 since i moved my rev limiter to 7500 ;)
