SetH, the car the engine used to be in did 162.summat at Brunters. The Rallye has never been tested for top speed.
I was sceptical too but I think it's possible. The engine pulls the same in every gear.
The tune is Narcotic Thrust, I Like It.

Yeah i dont doubt the engine, I just think the aerodynamics and the gearing will prevent it from getting 162, I take its still running the s2 rallye gbox or a Gti one? Im pretty sure they are the same unit though. Dont get me wrong i love rallyes, but even with 170bhp and im guessing the kerb weight will be 850kg with that engine i dont think it will get that speed. Would love to see it go down the strip though. I used to own an s1 and s2 rallyes, really miss them
