So, tell us what you got, and what speed you have achieved!

Unfortunatly atm I have the bottom of the range Grande... lol

So this means i have only reached just over 60, i think 63mph in 2nd...

56 plate 1.2 8v GP

and this achieves?

finding the rev limiter, burning lots of fuel, and undue stress on the engine

The awesome noise of a high revving 1.2

DUH!

i had a peugeot 107 1.0 urban. Could do just over 60mph in 2nd before hitting the rev limiter. My gp 1.4 16v cant do 60mph in 2nd but by the time your at your rev limiter youve lost all of your torque so theres no point revving that high

only need to take mine to 3.5k to stay in optimum torque band, so probes 25 in second lol.

It achieves nothing Was simply a bit of fun for the forum...

Didn't mean to offend anyone...

Silly billy. Don't torture your car. Poor thing.

lol people are more worried about your cars health

Think about how much fuel you're also burning by hitting max revs! Hell, it's bloody expensive enough

Lmao! Thankyou all for your consideration...

I only tried it once!! haha

My mate has a mk2b punto and he said his is faster, and to avoid breaking speed limits we saw who would win in just second... lol were strange people... if you havent guess already

So the 2 of you were doing 60-ish in a 60 - 70 MPH limit area in 2nd gear just to see who was fastest?

:nutter:

Honestly, if either of you had any idea of what you could do to your poor cars doing that.... speechless TBH... what does it matter who's fastest?

Try who's the BEST driver, who can use less fuel per trip, who can make their tyres last longest, who has less breakdowns... oh & who gets pulled by the Plod less... the list is a long one, and all are just as pointles... (almost)

Because we all know i'm the better driver of the two of us thats a given...

I only did it once!! lol no need to shoot me

It's free advice Rob... no-one is going to shoot you, least of all me... personally I dont give a damn what you do with your car, it is after all... Your car to use & abuse however you like for whatever reason you like but think what a pair of t*ts you both look... and that reflects on other Grande drivers...

If that's aimed at me you are mistaken!

Would you do as the OP did?

Would you like to buy his car after he has abused it?

Would he fess up to the abuse when he Posts up here asking for help when his wee engine / transmission plays up?

Besides... if the OP really is that good a driver why not pi$$ about on a Track day instead... Oh wait no... he'd get kicked off...
