Anyway I doubt very much if the Us version of the R32 is restricted to 130, but you never know. Jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gti_Fly Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Don't mean to be rude, what if it is, what if it isnt? 130mph is largely irrelevant anyway, unless you do track days or live in Germany! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah but there have to be stretches of road in Hicksville that are long and straight, and where the local bobbies are all your cousins. In that case you have more chance of taking it to the top of the clock then we do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drillslinger Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I dunno dude, I'm a Seahawks fan myself, so there's not much in it for me (Watching anyway ) I'd like Carolina to win, simply cause they're such big underdogs, but from what I've seen so far, the games started, but Carolina hasn't shown up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 No, it should be around 150 MPH no? The USA spec sheet has prolly a typo, as the HP & Torque are similar. Unless they installed a limiter of course, which I doubt, unless there are some rules and regulations in the US forcing them to do so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 130 mph sounds about right for Stateside fellas And I'm about 90% sure they'd fit a limiter to the R32 over there.... 's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricsR32 Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I'm afraid you are right. Not sure the reason, but all the good cars over here have 130 limits. Probably another one of the government's "safety" standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
