My current daily has a 80litre tank and only just manage to get 400 from that and it's a bloody diesel Potentially due to when they drive it? I know mine is a daily drive and drives me 8 miles to work and 8 miles home 5 days a week in rush hour traffic... Brings my MPG down to about 18/20.... If I combine this with a run over the M1 to Manchester/ Leeds/ Nottingham etc then this sometimes increases my MPG to around 25/27. I never get over 300 to a tank either (or if I do it is marginally over) - I wish I had the time and money to fill it up for a general run on a weekend mixing, city roads with motorways and country roads to get a better understanding of my MPG in general to see if either there is something up with my car or whether my poor mpg is solely down to the time of day I drive. |

You don't need boost to get to the max  I have hit the indicated max on the autobahn in the rallye when it was standard  Also the car was perfectly stable at these speeds, it was cruising along quite nicely, certainly no problems with rattling or bits falling off  You've managed to hit the limiter in 6th with it n/a? - I've had 136mph indicated on my tomtom but the needle was off the clocks past 140 at the time in mine which is n/a. I'm not convinced even with 500bhp a 306 would do above 180mph, i reckon the coefficent of drag would be too much and the gearbox would crap itself. Please proove me wrong.  To be fair it was only the max on the clocks so yeah you would need extra to get it to hit the limiter i guess. Havent had the guts to try it now the Rallye is boosted, probably end up in jail for dangerous driving  :cops  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

a lot of cars can do 180mph fairly easily I'm pretty sure with the benefit of the charger pushing more power the harder you rev I think 180 is very feasible. pretty sure that with 500bhp it would be possible I'll let you know when I succeed ha ha________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

Possibly but then you start to think about thing like the driveshafts and gearbox and wheel bearings at that speed a their not designed for that at all. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

I know Pete that's why I said not for prolonged use but to say you've done 180mph is quite a feat in most cars. I. pretty silly to say that the best part of 170mph is pretty nice to know I've don that with the superhighboost revving out more it'll do it.________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

To get a car over 160mph is very hard due to aerodynamics. ________________________________________ 1998 Supercharged White Rallye1992 205 GTi6 205 Turbo 340bhp |

Could always do what the Honda civic drag cars do I've seen at Santa pod loads of times.... They literally drill loads. Massive holes in the rear bumper so you don't get as much drag from it________________________________________ Black power baby!
