vl 5-speed factory <this is before the rev limiter> 1st gear = 60km/h 2nd gear = 104km/h 3rd gear = ??? km/h 4th gear = ???km/h 5th gear = ???km/h thats what i got outta my stocka as for the "?" that means i was too scared to try that on the public roads, cant wait till dino dyno but i new the flintstones were good for something.

I got 1st 70 2nd 120 3rd 160 4th off the clock

it is a N/A I dont have a tco

damn hey.

Im up for the test (on a private road of course :roll: ). Ill post tests tomorrow Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have an na vl 5speed with 2 1/2" exhaust, punched (oh i mean 'hi-flowed") cat, extractors, and cold air intake (with old air intake holes sealed) 1st = about 65-70 2nd = about 105-110 3rd = about 140-150 4th = about 190ish at 5300rpm (fastest i have taken her) 5th = not enough road left lol but i am estimating about 220-230 i used to have a 3:08 diff out of a v8 vl and i could get about 85-90 out of 1st lol that diff is no longer with us

Yeah that sounds about right, does anyone know what a small modded (eg. extractors, 2 1/2" zaust, cold air intake) vl n/a tops out at?? Has anyone tried this?

off the clock...

well im talking a recorded speed via a speed gun unless you have a non standard speedo, seen as tho the original only goes to 200 :roll:

I've had the VL round at 190 and she was revving pretty high. It coulda gone higher though. The VS has only been round to 160 on bald tyres.

At high speed with standard suspension, the VL's feel like youre driving a blob of jelly. I dont like to take mine over 150.

haha same

Im not sure about my 5 speed turbo, but in my Auto N/A I got 120 out of first, *** it was screaming its tits off.

120!!? Nah, there's NO way mine would get near that in first...

Yeah i got my standard vl first gear to 155 @ idle (750rpm) I dont think thats true, allthough Auto it could be true, is it the standard auto box?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

85 would be killing my auto 120 (no offence of of course) but really 120, you'd be hearing nice grinding sounds comiing from your gearbox Maybe you meant 2nd? *edit, fixed my spelling Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

120, you should be changing from second to third at that speed with the NA auto.
