I think it's 173 on the standard 6800rpm limiter, but not completely sure.

For my reply to the thread, 161mph.

The 5-speed on the 16vt is exactly 40km (24,85mph?)pr 1000 rpm
Dont know if its the same though...

I did 31 mph the other day then the auxiliary belt warning sounds came on (the one fitted in my head )
I eased of to 29 mph
Nobody told me when you buy a coupe you get a free years worth of paranioa with it .
The fuel saving was good to

Just for comparison: some years ago, in the 16v with the original chip and no tweaks, driving through Germany (where in spite of what people think, there are plenty of speed limits on the autobahns)... I managed an honest 136mph on the flat, and one hundred miles in an honest hour, obeying all the speed limits and road works.
