quattro digest, Vol 1 #3218 - Fastest speed

[Larry C Leung]

Okay, the fastest I've driven was an indicated 116MPH in my GTi on a two
lane (no cops) in Whitney Pt, NY. The car was still accelerating (though
not strongly),  but the road was beginning to turn..... definitely not
the fastest on the list by far. BTW, the GTi will barely turn 100 MPH
indicated before turn 1 at Limerock.

I just had the 200Q up to an indicated 105 recently, trying to dump a new
Trailblazer whom decided that he needed to use my radar detector rather
than his own. Powered away on an uphill on a turn and then lost him in
one of the sporadic patches of traffic. He backed off when his truck
started heeling over on the turn and had a tough time staying in lane.
The 200Q was rock steady, which was somewhat more impressive as I was on
my snowies...


BTW, calculating based on the speedo and tach of my 200Q, the car would
hit the marked redline somewhere just south of 150 MPH.

Of course, these are hypothetical situations, your results may vary, etc.
etc. etc.....
