my friend hit 145mph on the way to manchester via oldham... but no ones meant to know that

thing is you gotta slow down straight away cause it soon becomes a 40mph zone for some silly reason and theres a speed camera hidden on the left

Yup, i've got a 5th gear, but if i quoted my best speed from that, then i wouldn't be answering the question.
In answer to the question, an indicated 97mph.

MY94 legacy turbo:-
1st = 50mph
2nd = 75mph
3rd = 110mph
4th = 130mph
5th = 160mph+
quite heavily modded ,these speeds acheived on a track day of course.

Musafa, what i thought that with my94 bieng restricted to 115 mph, a quick shift with a lower gearing would reduce the optimum mph of each gear, therefore not getting as higher top speed @ higher revs, but doing it a bit quicker...eg 2nd gear at top revs is 56mph so have to change up to 3rd to reach that 60 mph! you did ask!

quickshift does not alter the gearing, it merely shortens the throw, hence the quicker gear change. IIRC.

Though i'd ask as I have just had the Apexi Power FC fitted and my car now does approx 105mph as opposed to the 95 it used to hit.
This is because my rev limiter has been altered taking into account the Power FC MY98(uk)
