Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 1, 2006 Cool vid! It's strangely underwhelming doing 150+ in a Rado! What was the rpm at 165? You need to be doing 7000rpm to get a true 167.6mph from the VR gearbox, taking into account your 215/35s. And that's assuming the car has enough grunt to overcome the wind resistance. If you were pulling 6500rpm, the actual top speed would have been 155.6mph, which is still damn respectable! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Yeah it did feel very comfortable. I got 165 on the clocks, which going from the GPS was 160 in reality, which is fast enough. :) No idea what the RPM was, I wasn't looking :) There was still more there to be honest, it was not really accelerating much but it was still just about climbing, I just caught up some cars and had to back off. Remeber Kev that mine for some reason is the only VR6 Corrado that Vince has had do over 126 in fourth on his rollers when I hit 128. No idea why, but I am guessing its something to do with the 17.2" Corvette rims. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 1, 2006 Dunno mate..... 4th is good for 137 mph at 7000rpm with your tyres and 6500rpm will get you 127mph. Strange, but good! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted June 1, 2006 LOL. yep all a hoax :) NOT. Will be interesting to see what yours will do when we go next year Ben. I am happy with 165, don't think I will do that again for a while. :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted December 1, 2006 How sad am I!!! I have just sat and read through all 88 pages of this thread. I must have been mental doing what I did. Still was good to read it all back and remember the excitement. Better get on with the MK4 or I will be wanting to buy the Rado back again :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
