Re: Whats the top speed you have got out of your Punto???

why dont you just change the title of this topic to "how big is your cock?"

basically an extra 10mph you added what the speed really was is another 2 inches added on top of how big it really is.

its a science.

and btw - just under 100mph according to sat nav, 110/15 on speedo.

Re: Whats the top speed you have got out of your Punto???

My current 60S has hit a maximum of 80... because she's never been in the best condition I don't wanna push any further in case bits start falling off!

My 60SX on the other hand did do some... rather naughty speeds which on a couple of occasions ran into three digits...

But yeh... why!?

Not tried with the GPS... though it won't be much above 70mph I don't think (Still have plenty of rev's left and I don't exactly thrash it upto that speed normally)

Re: Whats the top speed you have got out of your Punto???

Saw a penis measuring contest, thought I'd join in.

Fastest I've driven: 200kmh (at the track in my parents car (They knew)

Fastest in my X? 135kmh.

LOL - must be difficult for you Australians, you wouldn't have any rulers marked in inches

See, you have to convert that for the other side of the world. 135km/h is not fast at all (my bog-standard '88 X went faster than that).

I got my 2001 Punto Mk2 Sporting with the CVT auto all the way up to 138km/h before the police car appeared. He asked me "is that as fast as it can go?". I said that I was thinking of finding out. It's 85mph. The fine was about three week's income for me so probably wasn't the brightest move. Plus, I have so many points on my license now, just a 120km/h speeding violation would get my license confiscated for six months. Speeding ain't worth it, kids

For real speed and power, I still maintain that you need something like my 164 (I love my 164). I haven't been very fast in the current one, but in the old (newer) one I had a few years ago, I hit 220 (on a public road) which is 136mph, so there! I have so many extra inches after that, I'm almost average! Over twice the legal limit! Could've gone to court for dangerous driving, lost my license, and my car - yeah baby!

Below is a pic taken in my 1987 Lancia Thema V6, back in 2002, that tank drove beautifully at speed as well. Similar FWD platform to the 164 of course. I should point out that even 220 in the 164 was less than the claimed maximum speed in the handbook (which was 241km/h), whereas some of the other posts in this thread have dubiously-high over-100mph speeds for Puntos where the handbook will says something like 105mph...

Once you've experienced speed in big cars, you don't bother trying in the smaller cars - my Uno Turbo scares the %$#! out of me over 100mph and the Punto Sporting - well, it's one of the slowest cars I've ever owned!

Dave - you've got a Punto like mine with the belt drive, surely it's not that one that you had up to 115mph? I'd be surprised if it could do 100mph... mine seems to top out at 85.

Re: Whats the top speed you have got out of your Punto???

I've had ~130mph GPS verified in my remapped Mk2 JTD which is completely off the speedo, I ran out of road though, it felt like it had a little bit more to give (on a private road of course).
