172 how fast

[tom coleman]

how fast we lookin at for the 172 bad ass top speed iv not yet managed to do it but just want a rough idea you really have to let them rev dont ya

 

[Craig]

140

 

[Martin_172]

180mph if you get it superchipped, then it really is bad ass

 

[edde]

Hitting the rev limiter waring in top is the limit.

About 140mph but you need a long road.

 

[Craig]

180mph if you get it superchipped, then it really is bad ass

210mph if you turbo it :rasp:

 

[Gumby]

3 mph if you feed it diesel. oopsydaisy

 

[simonwwfc]

i wouldnt even attempt it

 

[gaz44]

Here we go.....depends on the driver, gearing, weight, wheels....

Try it and see what happens (somewhere safe and legal). As with most cars of internal combustion fashion, yes, you have to rev the car to hit the top speed.

i can 60 on a main road dunno about u lot. also often do about 75-80 on a motorway/bypass thats cus im fassssst

 

[kully]

top end not as much important imo , it's how quick you get up there

 

[TeZ]

Mine does that at 35mph, you must have one of the 'good ones'.

210mph if you turbo it :rasp:
