Stew Posted March 11, 2011 Share 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. yeh but i was wiv my m8s an there was 5 ov us, and we all saw it. u calling me a liar blud? An it haz a k&n an a peco big bore zorst wif 2 tailpypes innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Theoretical top speed calculator - http://www.boosttown.com/gearbox_differ ... ulator.php More 'real' top speed calculator - http://vlsicad.ucsd.edu/~sharma/Potpourri/perf_est.html There are far more considerations to be taken into account however I'm too dumb to know what they all are!

dangerman Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I thought Z's were limited to 155mph. However... New Years Day, Freiburg to Karlsruhe. 175mph indicated on the speedo. Not sure what it translates to in true velocity but it was just me and a C4S on the road. Was surreal. Funny thing is the Porsche driver let me lead! The limiter does kick in eventually though. Apparently the XFR is also limited to 155mph but it's VMAX can be achieved in 5th gear. It's limiter only works in top gear. Sneaky sneaky...

simon da silva Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Mine hit 140mph in Germany on the autobahn.. dident have the guts to go any faster, but there was allot left when it comes to power..so faster then 150 shouldn't be an issue i think.

CrumbMC Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 the limiter is 155, which can almost be achieved in 5th on my pre facelift model. i think it is done in 5th on the newer Zeds once you reach 155 it doesnt stop like a rev limiter. but even though i know it can go faster it just sits at 155.

rob d Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 so far I have only hit 145. Space is the big limiter. I had a 07 civic type R which has around 200 BHP and that would top at 140 ish. The day I bought the Civic I was bounced by a black Z on the M5 along bruminham. I naturally gave chase as the Z was first choice but I panicked and bought the Civic on the grounds it had 4 seats and a more manageable engine size. Couldnt catch the Z and instantly regretted the civic. 1 year later, Zed in garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I bottled it at 140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Revup Roadster tops out at 135mph with the roof down. Aerodynamics are really not in your favour after that sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob d Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 limited when the roof is down !!!!!!! how do i disconnect this ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 No, the car's top speed isn't limited when the roof is down, it's just got the aerodynamics of a brick at that speed so you can't physically get any more speed out of it unless you strap a turbo to the car.
