Not for sale, not mater the price. Too much sentimental value.

That must have been hard to do in a car with a top speed of 180 mph.

Does yours have the little button on the dashboard that sprays cold water over the intercooler? I remember seeing that on a Top Gear review...

As for my wheels: '97 land rover discovery 300 tdi

Yep, I drive an Evo

And, yes, mine is submarine black.

The European version shown in Top Gear includes a higher HP engine (with the little button, I suppose). In the U.S., we have to live with just 291 horses:

Ehehehe, I just made a 540Km trip (went to see Deerhunter in Lisbon), 4 guys, 120-140km/h most of the trip, in one of these babies:

Beat That!

And my other rust bucket... Rover 216 GTi

The only thing sound about this car is it's mechanics (being honda an all...), while everything else is rotting away (being a Rover and all

)

2000 Honda Accord and an 07 Accord for me they last.For fun I have a 97 Prelude with some things I did over the years. By the way unless FIREWALLS car is very highly modified its top speed is 180MPH according to http://www.ferrari.com/English/GT_Sp...estarossa.aspx thier offical website and that would be new no way any older machine no matter how well kept they are always going to lose power over time even the 512 max speed 195mph.Also I have seen several of these inside over the years the speedo does not go to 200mph(used to vallet park in Ft.Lauderdale in the summers).I might as well say that my Accords can go 200mph. Dont get mad at me FIREWALL it will just entertain me.

Nice EVO Bill 291 HP is alot more than what most cars are pushing out.I bet you eat those little street racer punks for breakfast with it.I know I do in my Prelude and you got about 71 BHP on me.

I do carsharing. If I need a SMARTfour2, i get that one. If I need a SMARTfour4, i get that too. If I need a Focus Kombi, a small bus... you get the idea.

Its cheaper than owning a car (for my usage anyways), environmentally it makes sense and I am totally flexible with which car to choose.

Oh, I also do own two bicycles, which work great for my everyday commute to work and/or visiting friends.

Hanomag · 06-04-09, 12:48 PM

Hey do any of you motor heads know what the top speed on my GLI is?? The engine is the 2.0 turbo if that helps.

The speedo goes up to 180 but I chickened out at 135, only because there are just way too many toolbags on the NYS highway systems.

I dont know how it is in other places but in NY if you have the fee you get the license, you got it. I'm sure they turn down some applicants but thats only because the "seeing eye" dogs can't find the DMV!

Coolest chick magnet in the world:

'03 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Been beatin' the girls off with a stick. You should see their dissapointment when I tell them I'm married and have 2 kids.

Stealhead · 06-04-09, 01:51 PM

Hanomag why dont you look it up? No one else can since you did not list the year. But Id say about 150mph or so a buddy of mine had a 2002 Jetta with the I-4 turbo i think it put out 180BHP in that range and he got it up to 145mph according to the speedo a few times while I was in the car with him. Of course speedos tend to loose accuracy once you get over 100mph they start to get off +or- a few mph.Honestly though you dont really want to go that fast anyway at that rate of speed if something goes wrong it aint going to be pretty.Much safer to go to a track for that sort of thing.Also most cars if they have an analog speedo they will put a speed on there that the car cant really get to not in stock format anyway it is a marketing thing.

OK I saw your earlier post an 08 Id say 150mph range then I know that Benz and BMW sold in the USA that can go over 155MPH are cut off at 155MPH so I will assume the same here VW being another German make it may be a DOT law for anything that is not considered an excoitc car to be limited to 155mph. Dose not matter though as you cant outrun a police raido or go fast enough to get out of the line of sight a chopper.

Yep....never been a car built that can travel faster than a radio signal
