VTR top speed. . .

28th September 2004, 15:27

I have a 2002 VTR (grey top) and on the dial it goes up to 140mph but was wondering what was the actual top speed of it.

Cheers

28th September 2004, 15:44

Why not try it and see!

On the book it says 120 but I had a 1.1 and on the book it said 101 and I got it to 110! so should think you can get a bit more outta that.

28th September 2004, 18:49

the maximum speed you can reach on standard rims on standard vtr box with standard limit is 141mph.
And you wont reach that without a good leap in power.

28th September 2004, 19:07

Bet it would take a long stretch to get to that speed.

28th September 2004, 19:29

depending on how much power you have, the m-developments vts will do a standing start to 140 mph in 3/4 of a mile

28th September 2004, 19:31

My VTR is standard power, it would take ages. .

28th September 2004, 19:41

mine did with 2 people 210 km/u thats 131mph but it took ages (more than 5 mile) but now with my spoiler on it only hits 195 km/u (121 mph)

28th September 2004, 19:48

I remember in my old 1.1x i got to 110mph on the clock but that took about 5-10 miles with foot flat to floor.

29th September 2004, 00:44

mine did 130 mph (totally standard at that point) took ages on a huge stretch of a dis-used airstrip

29th September 2004, 01:05

I got mine up to 120mph with 2 pppl in the car, still a bit left in it to.

29th September 2004, 01:22

top speeds are for

I've never had my VTR above 105MPH cause i've never seen the need for it....the real bottle & adrenaline comes in when ur nailin it round corners

....country roads etc...I've touched cloth a few times durin the steep learnin curve, finding the maximum/extreme handling capabilities.....with a good tyre & suspension....truly an amazing car

29th September 2004, 01:44

in reality then, where is the need to have ure car at 105mph anyway, if not just to see how fast it can go?

erm, the motorway?

I cruise at 90ish on the motorway so natually i've fluctuated 10mph....the engine still isn't totally sressing as it would be if I was pushing a top speed. so in reality its quite feasible, u tosser

29th September 2004, 02:40

harsh, no need for the petty insult. U have fluctuated by more than 10mph if u managed to hit 105mph.

29th September 2004, 03:13

Cheers for all the imput guys how long does it take to reach max speed anyone know?

29th September 2004, 04:55

My friend got her vtr up 2 130mph on the motorway but shes got a magnex exhaust and induction kit

30th September 2004, 05:17

and most likely an inaccurate speedo

6th October 2004, 15:25

i have had 112mph out of mine but then had to brake for a corner. i dont spead or anything though.

3rd November 2004, 03:14

ive got 2001 vtr and modded it so-far to 115bhp with a piper exhaust system,k+n,cituning 4-1 manifold and de-cat and ive had 125 mph out of it.

3rd November 2004, 03:51

When i had my VTR, 2002 complete standard i got 135. Racing a focus on the A1, slipstremed him!!

7th November 2004, 20:19

I dont wanna make every1

But arnt dash Speedos inaccurate! 10% out in most cases! Well... accurate till 30mph! thats why speed camers alow 10% +2 mph before they snap your licence away... or that load of cash you thought you saved for that rainy day!

7th November 2004, 20:33

yes speedos on the saxo can be highly innacurate so more than others

25th January 2006, 08:47

Hi ya lads/lasettes,
Just recently joined hows you all doing i own a 1997 saxo on a P ( please bob ) and i got mine to 120 on the M1 acceleration to 110 in 4th then seemed to really suffer these litle things arn`t geared for top end its the brutal acceleration that counts and my don`t they love it..........

25th January 2006, 13:01

dont come on puplic forums claiming that you have been speeding on public roads you F"<£ing P£(ck....

Drive carfully & you will live longer... not to mention avoid killing others....! & keep your licence not that you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes the VTR can reach 120 on the clock! now that really doesnt extend your penis any more tho, does it...!!??

25th January 2006, 13:21

different vtrs have different clocks tho the latter vtrs have 98bhp so a bit faster but unless you have a way of testing, the speedos are so inaccurate youd never get the actual speed from the inside ( except up to 30mph

)

25th January 2006, 15:05

ay westy, its a bit harsh calling someone a fucking prick on there first post!?!

he wasnt the only person to admit he's sped on public roads 3 or 4 others have too!!!

welcome to the site martin..

what the is your deal here? Thats completely out of order especially when you completely contradict what you are saying > "Yes the VTR can reach 120 on the clock!"

Just tread carefully.

25th January 2006, 17:12

bah ill have to stick with the thrill of checkin the handlin on the more challenging roads n perfectin my drivin there. my sax is only a 1.0i at the mo so top speed is 100mph which takes about 100 miles to get to. itll all change soon tho when i get a bit more cashflow

25th January 2006, 18:35

you get a lot of people on hear that are quick to point the finger when others admit speeding but everyone has done it!

yer its not big and all that & no-one should ever promote it but i think everyone should calm down with the calling a bit! fair enough tell people what you think about it not being BIG and HARD but ya don't need to proper slate people!

also like someone has mentioned in other topics there is a time and a place i.e. open roads with a long view of whats ahead! other than that leave it for track days etc...

does anyone agree?!!!

25th January 2006, 21:06

track days should be used to test the limit of ur car, so speeding at 135mph + on a motorway is asking for trouble and shouldnt be done

end of.

25th January 2006, 21:18

All these people that say its ok to do 100+ on long open roads, have any of you ever tried to brake at that speed on saxo brakes. Say a deer or whatever runs out in front of you. You hit your breaks at 100+mph and they will do absolutely fuck all to stop you, so then you ahve to swerve sharply at those speeds and its game over.

25th January 2006, 22:12

Not sure about the higher spec-ed models but my speedo is just above 8% out, I grabbed a sat nav and tested it at different speeds. mine runs on 165/65/R14's. Never gone above 80mph in my beastie - sounds like it'll explode.
And as Scott says with the standard brakes yer buggered if you try to stop quickly at those of speeds. My bike disc brakes are better.

26th January 2006, 02:06

well i have had my speedo reading 130mph (private road of course) and as adsayer mention on the sat nav and snooper neo 4 they both said 123mph, but i have modded it a little since then.

, you can all call me what you like because you have all sped at some time or other. yo martin, hows tricks mate?

well said! my point exactly mate!

26th January 2006, 15:39

doesnt matter if people have done it it doesnt make it right nor does it disguise the fact that at 100+mph if something happens you are fucked.

26th January 2006, 19:31

you would still be fukd if a deer or whatever ran out on you at 70!

26th January 2006, 20:48

there is no mead for an argument over it, people will do what they choose to do and we cnt change that. if people drive fast its there choice. the law is there to be honoured but people will break it time to time.

27th January 2006, 01:39

well said well said i had my 1.4 at a 115mph in 5th and still had a little left you jus get a little buzz from it its your choice as it has been mentioned its jus the manner you do it in for me it was 1/4 to 5 in the mornin all deers asleep

27th January 2006, 03:12

If you speed, fair enough, your decision. I dont think a public forum is the place to discuss it though to be honest.

My mate hit a deer, lucky for him he wasnt going fast. Unlucky for the dear tho

. Why do they always run out in front of cars at the last second, no sense

27th January 2006, 18:26

why is everyone comparing car top speeds. right heres my issue..... you lot buy a saxo, mod it so it looks realy nice but what i dont seem to get is alot of you just hoon it around not giving a fuck about other road users and youself and.... if u've spent all this money on your car and go really fast, no-one will see it so its pointless. ok its good to give it some stick down a country road but on normal roads go carefully. you will learn this in time! i crashed my last saxo and wrote it off and yes i was going too fast so i learned from this and thought why go fast, it dosn't prove anything.....

28th January 2006, 22:03

well i have also wrote my car of mate, yes going to fast, but i told them to repair it for round two....and bought more engine mods.....

29th January 2006, 01:44

ive had 142mph out ov my vtr with 2 passengers on the motorway

29th January 2006, 01:52

what kinda bhp you pushin on your vtr alex_vtr?

you got a 4 branch along with the mods you have listed?

29th January 2006, 01:53

its alrite abusin ur car n usin it like a racin driver every were u go but some 1 will get killed soon doin it saxo's aint very strong wen it comes to crashin at the mo ive got 2 retake my whole drivin test again im not proud ov myself but its not nice just think is a 30 min blast down the motor way worth ur licience i cnt talk weve all done it

29th January 2006, 01:54

em not sure mate to b honest it starts a 4 and then goes to 1 underneth the gearbox

29th January 2006, 01:54

155bhp

29th January 2006, 01:58

nice! you wouldnt get much more out of a vts with those mods!

did you do a roalling road to find that out mate?

29th January 2006, 02:00

yeah mate but dat was in 2002 ive had the car for ages

29th January 2006, 02:05

155 bhp my arse! there is no way with those mods you are making that power. Jay ran more engine modifications than you and made 130bhp

And try and type properly please

29th January 2006, 02:06

was it at LAD by any chance lol

29th January 2006, 02:33

LMFBO! Â© sax-p! where the hell do people get hese figures from?! the back of Wotsits packets?!

Your sig says "superchip dastec chip" - which one is it?! its definately not both

and - "green cotton viper ram flow induction kit" ?!?!
Theres 3 different brands in there

29th January 2006, 02:42

you can use the superchip and dastec together, most would only do that to raise the limit on the superchip then bin all the other shite on it and use the dastec for everything else.

But i totally agree the sig makes no sense whatsoever, i mean what is a 175 degree cam, the standard is around 264

29th January 2006, 02:48

severe case of altsymers desease. poor lad forgets what he's got so he just puts everything.

he asked me if id ever heard about that new manifold thats just come out. its a gmc miltek ashley comp 5-4-3-2-1 backbox.

fuk knows what he's on but ill av some! lol

29th January 2006, 02:58

29th January 2006, 03:16

cheers matey!!!

29th January 2006, 05:34

i dispair...

29th January 2006, 06:07

133mph on elvington airfield (private)

also got a photo at 127mph on old phone taken by a mate of coarse

29th January 2006, 15:21

is that on the clock or gps york? or was it with elvington timing gear?

29th January 2006, 19:15

well if it was on a saxo clock...take the fugures with a pinch of salt!

29th January 2006, 19:41

i find that i can do 60 in 2nd gear, anyone else find they can do that?

29th January 2006, 19:58

yep, my mk1 also does 60 in second, it reads about 62mph on the clock just before the limiter.

29th January 2006, 22:24

the clocks obviously may not be accurate but i have a pic of my old mk1 vtr doing touch over 130

29th January 2006, 23:08

lmao! I can't beleive this thread is still going.

30th January 2006, 00:21

clocks are most accurate on a saxo with 16's on it. preferably 45 wall

30th January 2006, 00:28

care to explain? considering they will never ever have been calibrated for 16's?

30th January 2006, 02:35

sounds a load of bs

30th January 2006, 03:55

get yourself gps then you know you correct...thats what i did.

if you had a nissan skyline gtr r33 you could remove the speedo unit change the din switchs on the back and it will change the speedo to read correct from the wheel size your useing..

, how about that then...

31st January 2006, 04:57

my vtr can do 125mph with my 16s on, thats according to my road angel. it takes ages to get there and the water temp gets pritty high too

the speedo reads more than the road angel

thats on a good day mind you

but i dont promote speeding on the public highway!

LOL
even tho i was doing it today
