Top speed
Does anyone know what the top speed of a stock FTO would be if it wasn't speed-limited?

i remember i read somewhere in a UK forum someone removed the speed limiter on his manual GPX and topped out 244kph so yeah you're almost right on the money there Ruchi...
oh by the way, trust me - i know a road in Melb that is long enough for you to let the FTO stretch her legs a little' bit...
...could be a little' too far for some though', hehehe..!!

speed
the gearing would give almost 250 k in a manual, but drag might play a part in that...
now if we removed the redline of 8000 and put it to say 10000 (which they have been doin with the same motors in Galants,) it would do almost 300 k but that would have to be prooven.
f**k the rules, if your car is delimited the 20 second squirt to 250 is not a problem as long as you choose a safe place to do it. FTO338, how did you remove the delimiter, do you have 280k speedo or what?

i think over 130 is possible in secondruchi wrote:A smidge under 250kmh
A stock 4 speed tiptronic FTO does a little over 60kmh per gear:
1st - a bit over 60
2nd - a little under 130
3rd - a bit over 190 (if it wasn't speed limited)
4th - a little under 250
In theory the FTO does 180kmh in 3rd gear quite nicely. Shame about the limiter.
