I don’t know, maybe my 07 GTI is different or maybe the speedo is messed up, but as I read above it says top speed is 130. On the track I topped it out at 140, is my speedo wrong or is my car just different for being an 07 from an 05? I don’t I just thought I would throw that out there.
Huh, yeah, it could be a model year difference Elliot. I’ll have to check that out for ya.
