Following on from the GTA thread, whats the fastest you have been in a JTD?

Ill start off: 140bhp version and according to the GPS it was 201kph - it still had a bit more to go but it started to rain so i held off. However i just looked up what the max speed for my 2001 156 and its 205kph, so in the 10 years and 171k its been driven its only lost 4kph! Amazing really seeing as it still had more to give...

Thats bad, mine did 120k miles and still had more to give in germany, but because i had her just a month i didnt want to go any higher. When i had 1.6 ts the max stated speed was 124 and at 120k miles she did 120 miles an hour for 4 yours Just had to refuel every 2 hours

I've had 140mph on the clock on a long downslope. GPS said 128 so that's 205km's, I've got an 8Valver though 115 bhp??

 

[gangerlv]

Yeah but yours are a ton lighter then mine
PS. It looks like this conversation will turn in to - My penis is larger than yours

but my penis is bigger than yours :lol:

I dont mean that 201 was all it could give - it started to rain so i wasnt going to push on. I know once without the GPS the speedo signalled 130 something but its always off by a bit.
Thing is though my engine has 50k more than yours (if ive understood properly). Also goes to show that Alfas figures are as reliable as the electrics they put in the car :lol: Overall im happy with the performance of the car and to be able to do 125mph i think is alright for such a heavy car :thumbs:

P.S. just to add what i meant is that the max ive gone in the car is 201kmh or 125mph

This is my result with 16"
Real speed unknown, probably 205-210km/h

Not bad for a Stilo :lol:

2.4 10v (the 150) - 138 mph on the clock, on the flat, and she was still accelerating - just about - but I bottled it as I suddenly realised I hadn't checked tyre condition for a while. Didn't have GPS to check real speed but I should think it'd be easily 5-10mph less for real as I know 80 = 75 and 100 = 94 on my car. I wouldn't do it again...

120k miles that was my 1.6 ts

230 km/h on the speedo: 225 km/h on gps.... 2.4 jtd 136 with some mods....

I think you will find the model number is the top speed in mph!!! God I need a 169!!!:lol:

Just did a blast last night after replacing the filters and oil and got a nice 212kph on the gps... so thats 132mph amazing what a service can do!
