I was out for a nice quiet drive last night on my own, around Coventry, to Kenilworth, to Leamington Spa. Coming home along the A46 i came across a Pug 306, as i overtook him, ** ish, he floored it and kept on my nearside. F**k you i thought, and we ended up doing ** mph before he slowed (i think ) as we were running out of road Maybe it was an XSi ?

Cheers, i get the picture I guess i'm the the only one to ever to go slighlty over 70 mph then ! Suppose it was a bit daft
Re: [Mk2] [NA] What's the top speed please ?
It's not big and it's not clever
You want to know the top speed of the NA mr2 or of the 306 ?

We've all been over 70mph before, just on our own private runways not roads

Anyway top speed of a 306xsi which is a 2litre as well is about 125-130. Top speed for an na mr2 is 130-140mph dependant on the condition of the car.
Re: [Mk2] [NA] What's the top speed please ?
IFAIK fastest (stock) 306 was the GTi-6, which had a top speed of 137mph (same as a mk2 MR2 NA).

Re: [Mk2] [NA] What's the top speed please ?
Mate of mine had one of these, gotta be 500kg lighter with its tin foil panels but quite quick too. Stock for stock with the 306 being lighter has gotta be close, MR2 NA has my vote, just.
Re: [Mk2] [NA] What's the top speed please ?
My NA has shown 145 on the speedo, although in reality that will probably be the quoted top speed of 137

If its an XSi they are 140bhp but the GTi-6 is 167bhp. Autocar did a test on the mr2 mk2 when they came out and got 137mph as a top speed (rev1) when they tested a rev 3 (in 94) they only got to 134mph despite the 20bhp increase.
I guess a 306 would weigh in about 1100kgs, maybe a bit more so you might take it off the line but once rolling i would imagine it would be very even.
Re: [Mk2] [NA] What's the top speed please ?
Weight really isn't an issue where top speed is concerned. Its all about the aero efficiency of the car and power @ the rev's where gearing is.
And I would expect the aerodynamics of the mr2 to be better than the 307.
And the xsi (135bhp) is 1190kgs and the gti-6 (167bhp) is 1215kg and top speeds are 125 and 135. And the mr2 n/a being 137. All this info provided by parkers car guide.
So despite what I just said about the aero stuff apparently the differance is only 2mph on the gti-6.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] What's the top speed please ?
My rev 3 n/a clocked 135mph on a racelogic V-box at Bruntingthorpe a few years ago. It hadn't quite maxed out but I was running out of runway alarmingly quickly!
