Is it the 'turbo dave' vid? I think he passes 2 semi-trucks? I have gone 140mph, top down, 40 deg, colder then hell, when I shifted into 6th the S was not going to accelerate at all, I think you would have to be FI to top out, and even then prob need a hill so it does not take forever.

153 was my highest as well, I think the guy in that video was going downhill and was modified and/or had an aftermarket final gear that affected the speedo. (Am I right about that?)

long time ago when my cousin bought his 00 GPW s2k, he got up to 160 or so but he said it took a while. remember, just because it says 160 mph on teh speedo doesn't mean that is true. at speeds over 100 mph, there is an small error that can give you false speeds.

I got to 143 before my car felt like it was gonna fall apart. Do your cars shake that much too. Either cause it's a conv. or do you think it's my tires being worn out? Just wanted to ask, to see if it was just me.
