What's the fastest can ever take your Scirocco?

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

I agree with Arron. I am building the car for middle speeds and good 
handling. I want the power on the low end of the rpm and to be quick and 
agile on the road.

120+ is a bit rediculous as the cars do not have the safety features like 
roll cages or 5 point harnesses. We do not have the roads like <heavenly 
music> The Autobahn</music>. In fact NY roads suck, and most dfrivers on the 
road should not even have access to a go kart.

If you want top speed, get an old American car. It will get you up there, 
but don't expect it to perform well  with corners!

Racing on the road is actually pretty stupid. Keep the high speeds on a 
track with others who are going in the same direction and have skill levels 
to match yours.
Before you tromp on the pedal, think about Tom and Jay.
