Just seen this on another forum...
208mph in one mile from a standing start
Not even at full power or maximum revs either, the run was made at 26psi and the car makes 713bhp at 30psi.
The driver lifted at 208 in 5th as the car started to feel unstable
Most of the other stuff was sort of what you'd expect to do the speeds, this doesn't seem like the obvious choice though.

Moving out to Texas on monday, this is about 170 miles away, may go up there some time and check it out
one thing i love about being there is everyone goes for the big engine options e.g. the smallest available engine option on a 3 series is a 328 lol

208mph in a mk3 golf is impressive

LOL i forget about these till I get there, just place massive slabs of concrete in the road.
One thing I love is it seems legal to drive anything, Ive driven a raised F350 that was like 5-6ft off the ground no problems
