Honestly never been close to what is quoted here in WhatCar.co.uk :eek:

Skoda Octavia Hatchback 2.0 TFSI vRS 5dr Performance & Measurements Review - What Car?

Is there a faster car on the road?

Were WhatCar using a chipped vRS or the standard car?

That has got to be a chipped car, my standard won't get close to that :( :P

thats speed of sound innit?

Bloody hell :eek:

Wonder if thats with a KO4 Conversion

That's the Skoda tuning house version.

You know. Abarth, no that's fiat. Kompres, no that's not it either....

how will it perform with a revo on it

but whats the mpg like?

damn and i thourght 160mph on the clock was fast

After some of the stories I've seen on here following re-maps, What Car have clearly got the Octavia and Fabia performance stats mixed up.:eek:

Cant have been a furby lance, as doesnt have the disclaimer that the figure was done on it's roof

thats speed of sound innit?

In dry air at 20 degrees Centigrade at ground level, it's about Mach 1.945. :eek:

Any reports on what the road noise is like?

Ah - the power of Magic Tree

damn and i thourght 160mph on the clock was fast

I thought 168mph according to Satnav was quick

That has got to be a chipped car, my standard won't get close to that :( :P

Chipped or otherwise, unless they have changed the gearbox it isn't going to make much difference unless the engine runs out of puff/you run out of road to get you to max revs in top gear.

Then again no matter what you do to it short of stick a couple of rockets on it, there is no way it's hitting that speed

I thought 168mph according to Satnav was quick

and in what car was that?

In dry air at 20 degrees Centigrade at ground level, it's about Mach 1.945. :eek:

Any reports on what the road noise is like?

Was going to say, it's about twice the speed of sound! A supersonic Octy . . . Czech's answer to Concorde.

Maybe they gave it to Scotty who squeezed a bit more out that warp engine but he canne gi any more pooower

No Octavia would go that fast, must have picked up a reading for the 2.0 Fabia that was "taking it like a king"

and in what car was that?

Mine

Edit: Done on the Autobahn not in the UK;)

An Octavia vRS?

That's quite fast. I had a remapped Volvo S80 T6 a year or so ago that everyone reckoned with the remap (330bhp) it would do over 170mph I struggled to get it up past 160mph, how the hell did you get an Octavia to go fast fast on the satnav?

pm sent

I wonder what tax band would that be in?

i too would be rather interested to see that PM if you dont mind mater, i've only ever managed to get mine to 160 on the speedo lol
