| Limiter in 5th, so just over 170 on the GPS  Public road as well (autobahn)Far too easy, needed a longer top gear

| Sounds about right to me. I know mine was maxed as it was banging on the limiter in top. Speedo only went to 160, so had to work it out on the gearing and the gps.

| 125 in chipped PD100 - unfortunately stopped in mid-attempt by turbo popping out of action, and associated rapid decelleration, despite my foot still being planted down.

| My fabia 16V1400 101 HP reached 200 km @ 6000 rpm , as I read at the speedmeter. However, this is not the real speed because the meter is not quite reliable. |

| Briskodian | How funny I should see this thread at a time when I have literally just got back from putting my foot down in the vRS. Well I only managed 120 mph before I got held up behind a slower car on two private roads I visit It was still pulling quite well too.... |

| Mine was still pulling well'ish - well, (ish) until my little turbo problem. I will be severely annoyed if the new Fabia does it as well, but at least VAG-com should be on hand to see if leaves a fault... It did on the last car "overboost" I think it was called.

| Octy 4x4, just nudged 150 on the clock & the red on the rev counter at the same time. I estimate this to be 142 Actual based on trip being 5% over therefore assume speedo is the same.

| Indicated 130 in my old 16v. So far in the vRS I've managed 130 too, whilst it was in run-in mode playing with a TT!

| 130mph When I first got it (wasn't used to the power) Has loads more left in it though. Funniest thing was spanking an A4 convertible whilst starting off that run
