I bet it wasn't! Not sure if the gearing is higher on a TD5 but I wouldn't take mine over 90 (on a track or rolling road). It'd probably do it, but I don't like to rev over 3k for any length of time and I would never even try to go past 4k.
Thing is, they're not geared for it. There's a reason the genuinely quick 4x4s out there have 500bhp or so and a lot of torque, it's so they can pull higher gears. A tweaked TDI can give them a bit of a shock at legal speeds because it has shorter gearing, but it'll fall behind when they speed up.
Can you guess I've been thinking about this for that 500bhp Cayenne-killing Disco sleeper project (that is unlikely to ever be built, but it's an interesting thought experiment and a man can dream) :lol:

MrA, I think I may hate you for bringing up this thread, all I do at the moment is browse the t'internet looking at air lockers, I've been trying to ignore the desire to buy one as my other half will leave me if I spend any more money on the truck
