Hill what Hill!!!

How 130ps copes going up the Reigate Hill on the M25

[Luke]

of course for legal reasons thats a photoshop

4000 rpm is that a 6 speed

[lostpaul67]

No its a 5spd, had it round to indicated 110/4200 bouncing off the govenor on the M40 at about 6k miles before satnav, garmin tells me 103 now. Its got the performance/towing ratio

[Gavin]

pish, fifteen years of development and still slower than my rattly old pinto

[lostpaul67]

Something happened during them fifteen years cos I cant see a rattly old pinto getting up that Hill at 60 thesedays.
Thats a standard pinto, unbreathed upon

Paul you poser

I was down into first for a hill on the northern part of the A9 last week

[lostpaul67]

Yeah but I've seen your piccies and I bet you were towing something

Wish mine went round to 5ooorpm, that would equate to about 120

They are limited to 100

[lostpaul67]

I managed to figure that out after 6ok miles, what I meant was that if it wasn't limited and would rev to 5k then that would equate to approx. 120mph. I wonder how much faster it would be fitted with the normal final drive ratio as its limited by being geared as it is to hit the limiter at 100mph in 5th at 4200rpm. Longer gearing means slower acceleration but higher top speed at same revs.
