<< I don't know about all this, but with stock gears, in 5th 1000 RPM translates to almost exactly 20mph. So, good luck getting your 16V past 140! ;) The "Big Mac" shape probably won't allow you to get going that fast without some major power or aerodynamic tweaks. >> Well, with a 1.8 head, a chip, exhaust, and a euro cam, my '91 GTI 16V would do 132mph (I checked it against the tach), and it felt like it might do more if I had a taller 5th gear. .34 isn't that bad for a drag coefficient. Now, I do have a taller 5th gear, but I won't try to find my new top speed anywhere but on a track.
