[Vwdiesel] top speed for 82 Rabbit 1.6L NA ---( here is hagars take on it )

[Kenneth E. Oldrid]

Hmm,
my 2 86 n/a (jetta and golf) both hit 100mph. I would have went a little more if
they didn't feel like they were going to vibrate into a million pieces.
My TDI on the other hand, is yawning at 100.
