[QUOTE="yotah1, post: 61434, member: 599"] Top speed of mine usually reached without much of a struggle on german autobahns at 221km/h since the remap (higher rev limiter made me gain 4 km/h on the top speed), and also reached every lap I do at the Nurburgring in the Fuchsrohre downhill. The tester in South Africa just doesn´t understand what makes a nice atmo engine, high rpm! It´s not a car made to be driven udner 4000rpm, fun comes above, way above, just like the Clio which is perfect between 5500 and 7500 rpm, because that´s the range you´re supposed to use on race tracks, and that´s what RS was thinking about when they did the engines. If the guy wants lower revs and big torque, he should get himself a 500 Abarth, sure he would like it, but really his comments on the gearbox, engine sounds, global feeling of the car are not the ones of a sporty fanatic. The Twingo is really great on these aspects, close ratio, small gearbox lever, fast changes, precise, more than a lot of so-called sports cars could say. [/QUOTE]
