Must have been on the Autobahn! ;)
When you have to drive 800 Kms in a day, on good roads and in fine continental weather, the speed does creep up, unsurprisingly in a Fiat .....which is one of their endearing characteristics. I'm impressed with your indicated 130mph though. Those 2000 Supers are quick even in standard form. :) Title: Re: Who's driven the fastest in their fiat engined 131 Post by: TOAD on July 19, 2014, 05:01:31 PM When Toad was a road car, I was running down an Audi and a Porsche that were on it, I was catching them but prop rubber could not take it and self destructed at over 135. Thing is, car should have been on a 3.9 and 185/60. Car was on a 3.5 and 205/60 tyres. Like I said, I was catching them. ;D. Germany

Keep an eye out for Baby Toad I'm coming to get yooooooo
The se031 is supposed to have been clocked at 175mph on 285bhp Title: Re: Who's driven the fastest in their fiat engined 131 Post by: sidedraught on July 21, 2014, 07:23:07 AM Playing on the freeway with the 131 Racing. I have gotten the needle to touch the km/h writing at the bottom of the speedo, it's just a bit difficult to take a pic then with my phone. ;)
