From direct talks, autoForums and personal blogs it seems that everybody is telling Peugeot 308 140THP top speed is only 215km/hr whether the car is running on RON95, RON97, V-power or even with P-Tronik box plugged in! The only difference is probably the time it takes to arrive at that speed .
What does that mean?
I have a feeling that the car is electronically speed limited to 215km/hr only, if not how come even after squeezing-out around 190bhp [?] there is no improvement at the top end?
To me top speed is not important though as long as it is more than 200km/hr. What I'm interested is 400m/1000m standing time and how fast to smoke tailgating cars [or MPV's] from 150km/hr to 180km/hr or from 160km/hr to 200km/hr! I still believe plug n play tuning box and /or ECU remap will be able to full fill my "torque/hp greed".BTW, I've a feeling there is no significant advantage of RON97 over RON95 on Peugeot 308 140THP in performance and fuel consumptions. Nevertheless I will be carrying out intensive tests on RON97 from November through December 2009 to find out whether my assumption is wrong or otherwise.
No matter what will be the outcome, I'll start the new year 2010 by pumping in RON95 again because my tests so far proven there is nothing wrong with RON95 in term of performance and fuel consumptions.
