Top speedo reading ive had so has been 134 MPH on the A50 in a lame attempt to keep up wiht a Mazda RX8. Gotta admit wasnt as far behind as expected so rekon it must have only been the 190 bhp version! car felt stable as naything and was crying out for a 6th gear as was top of my revs..and couldnt go no faster boo hoo

ST 150 awsome!!!

so far in terms of cars my ST has nailed recently:

Twat reps in Last shape Golf / Passat Tdi's bout even to start with then ST pulling away from bout 70mph

Again tailgating reps (what is their problem) Mondeos 1.8 / 2.0 - ST150 gradually pulling away all the way....especially 90 mph onwards

MGZR120 - straight passed!!!!

New Golf TDi 2.0 M1 - pulling away then dicked on from 80 mph onwards!!!

Saxo VTR on dual carriage way - totally mullerd him !!!

Nova Sri which I scared the shit out of as i pulled up behind him rather rapidly!!!!

... ST150 totally comes alive at bout 80 mph and pulls like hell!!!!!!

I know what you mean about tail gating reps!!! I get loads of them examining my shiny chrome pipe Half the time I cant be naffed as I know in a few hundred yards I'll be right behind them at traffic lights or road works or something but there's a tiny spurt of dual carriageway at national speed limit (70)near me and if they try to undertake me on the roundabout or are up my pipe (ooer missus) I just wave, smile and boot it

Bit late for work yesterday,so I,m trying to move it down the dual carriageway,alls well except for the Seat Leon that won,t move out of the fast lane.After flashing him several times I took him on the inside (naughty).Anyway get past and he tries to follow (two young lads driving).So up to 160K ,sliding round the roundabouts etc .He follows me all the way to work gets out of his car then shows me his badge .Undercover cop`car bummer,But lucky me, I got away with a naughty boy don,t do it again.

Yeah, I'm now just over 500 miles in and have been starting putting my foot down a bit more. I agree though Morganog, even 1st and 2nd are impressive now, you get a proper shove in the back when putting your foot down hard in 2nd. I know 1st gear is fairly short, but if you can time your gearchange right then you get a constant surge from standstill up to 60. I haven't tried timing mine yet, I think i'll give it until its at least done a thousand before I do that.

was driving to work for 5am sat mornin (offer of some overtime) so thought as M1 was totaly empty i would see what it could do! managed to get just over 130 mph on straight flat road and no faster which is all i have managed before. then ...i thought to myself hmmm there is really REALLY steep slope down towards the Mansfield junction .... lets see what this beast can do!! So i approached this at about 120... just giving me enough time to slam on the anchors is there were any rozzers over the crest of the hill before i started my descent... there were'nt ... so i floored it!!!! Speedo reading as i approached the bottom of this really steep hill 140 mph!!! AWSOME! and no shit the car still felt as stable as anything... although i was crappin it a bit as i felt REALLY f***ing fast! Dont reckon i can better that again on any other piece of road .. and not gonna try it again either cos cant think its too good for the engine or my license !!!! RULLES!

I cant wait to get mine after reading all those. Im fortunate in that i live in germany so i will be able to sit with my foot nailed to the floor for miles to see how fast i can get out of it. its always fun to do. I do it in any car that i drive. my company car is a diesel opel corsa and it tops out at 170kmh and feels like im driving on sheet ice its that bad. im not a big fan of vauxhall/opels tbh.

I have had a Corsa and Astra and didn't really get on with either.

Obviously I have never gone over 70mph in my ST, but I have heard what others have done On the flat she pulls up to 120mph fast, then takes a little longer to get to 130mph where she stops.
When tried downhill she went up to 140mph on the speedo and that was not far from the rev limiter and she wasn't going any faster.

Has anyone had a dabble with the new golf 2.0 tdi sports? They are bloody fast, it was neck and neck. Off the mark I kill them but when you are going on the motorway its not as easy.
