Dano190485 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Hi all was just wondering if anyone knows what the top speed will be after a remap and limiter taken off? Purely out of interest cause my mate has a 206 gti 180 and that will do 150mph so surely a 350 would do a fair bit more Quote
Bendrews Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 155mph with limiter so zed is quicker already no surprises there!! i believe its around the 170 mark with no electronic limiter, i believe the gearing doesnt let it go any higher ?! any1 confirm this ? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 i think 175 is achievable but you'd need a very, very, very, very , very long piece of private road or de restricted autobahn to get close. Quote
GT4 Zed Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I've seen 167 in Germany so i believe 175 is achievable But in any case top speed counts for nought. I will trade that off for acceleration with better FD ratios Quote

I will trade that off for acceleration with better FD ratios have to agree, top speed talk is for bragging in the pub as the actual chance of ever using it is almost non existant. i'd rather be able to get to 100 and back to 0 in the quickest time possible. as most track racing will see those speeds.

Dano190485 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 I wasn't asking for bragging rights in the pub, Im just at work bored and wondered what it was so thought I might aswell ask and pass some time. Quote
cesc Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Can a 206 GTi really do 150mph? Seems highly optimistic to me. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Can a 206 GTi really do 150mph? Seems highly optimistic to me. the 306 GTI6 could do 135-140 but needed a long stretch an di think that had a smaller engine than the 206 GTI 155 isn't a difficult target for mos things with a 2,0 litre engine or more.

BulletMagnet Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I did a stretch of autobahn at like 2am and got up to about 165. Didn't realise I had then entered a restricted zone and triggered a speed camera Quote
Dano190485 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 well i was in my mates 206 gti 180 when he done 150 and it was seriously scary, little cars should not be allowed to go that quick lol Quote

Jeeze 155 in a 206, must be like going down a very steep hill on a push bike, so much wind in your face (through the panels,) wobbling over any bump that you just about kill yourself getting there. At least in the zed 0-130 (about the fastest i have gone) feels really firm and safe....my very first car a Fiat punto mk2 i could get to 100 but jesus getting there was scary and once you were there keeping it there was terrifying as it felt that any small bump or obstickle would send you to your grave! (i imagine a 206 is the same!) Quote
James B Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Doesnt both me. Think I would bottle it before getting close to the top speed, even if I did have the space and road to allow. All about the acceleration, handlign and braking! Quote
JetSet Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Suffering a blowout at 70 on an Interstate Highway in Denver really put the wind up me and I'd be a bag of nerves driving at say 120 where it was legal to do so. As far as claimed top speeds go, I always take them with a pinch of salt, most speedos are out by as much as 10%, even more if you've messed around with the tyre size. Pete Quote
Ekona Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Can a 206 GTi really do 150mph? Seems highly optimistic to me. Given that Peugeot themselves only ever claimed a top speed of 143mph, I'd agree with you 150mph on the speedo perhaps, but I shudder to think of the length of road you'd need to get to that figure.

Steady Zeddy Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 No chance would a 206 GTI reach a genuine 150mph. Does anyone here know from the gearing of the Zed what its theoritical top speed is given sufficent power? I would imagine my 420bhp/354lbft Zed is somewhere north of 170mph. As mentioned though you'd swap the last 50mph for good acceleration on a track day. Quote
CrumbMC Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 No chance would a 206 GTI reach a genuine 150mph. I doubt a car with only 180hp (probably flywheel power too) could reach 150mph. my golf GTi had 221hp and would just about make it 150mph - this was pretty much in the red too. i had 18s aswell so the rolling radius was increased making the speedo only a couple of mph out - verified by GPS. As far as the Zed goes. i found this on tims twin turbo build thread, "in top gear with the OEM rev limit of 6.6k and 275/40/18 tires and a 3.5 FD the car will kiss 190mph at the rev limit. I'm sure the car would do 190mph given enough space." taken from here http://forums.**REMOVED**.com//index.p ... 775&st=480 Quote

As mentioned though you'd swap the last 50mph for good acceleration on a track day. the closer you get to 200 the more more power you need, wind resistants increases dramatically the faster you go. cars that can go over 200 need big power, but to push way past that they need almost double. cars that do about 200 have about 500bhp on average cars like the veyron need 1000 to get to about 265, thats an extra 500 bhp to achieve only 65 mph on the speedo. i'd guess you'd need on average about 200-220 bhp to do about 150 mph. gearing also makes a big difference. some cars could be capable of it but the gearing is not set up for it. like i said earlier 150 isn't a difficult target. 200mph is, and more so 250 mph.

BulletMagnet Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Five of you all in the car at the same time while doing 150mph in the 206 GTi? Not calling you a liar, just finding it hard to fathom. And before you say no we were all stood by the roadside when he went past us at 150mph, not even a police officer can tell what speed you are doing at that high speed without a speed gun. Easy way to silence the doubters, me included, is to take a video of it and post the link. Also have someone say "Custard and Parsnips" on the video just to prove it's you. Quote

evilscorp Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Had a prelude 2.2vtec 200bhp maxed out at 145mph, thats with spare wheel,boot lining etc removed mabe with 6gears and a hill the pug could get 150mph hehe. Quote
