755 Kilograms and 69 horsepower, topspeed: 129 km/h

Hi,

I made a little 1983 volkswagen golf with a 1300cc engine producing 69.1 horsepower. It weighs 755 KG and it has 5-speed gearbox. the top speed is 129 km/h.
I'd say the top speed should at least be around 150 km/h so is this just the way the game calculates or am I doing something not entirely right?

Suggestions? :oops:

Super quick checks:
1) check the final drive gearing
2) check the drag and in particular, the cooling slider to ensure it isn't too far above the required value.
3) are there any lips or wings on the car? I assume not, but if there are the diwnforce sliders will affect drag.

Holy crap, I have been doing it wrong since EVER. This was the only problem, thanks! :D
