yup Kris TD this is what I reckon my car does - however, people who then only see 105 mph are only actually doing about 94.5 mph!

115 mph - 10% speedo inaccuracy is about 105 mph.

just over 6 ~ 6.2

I've had my car to an indicated 117 mph on the m40 with witnesses (more than once too) - at about 5800 RPM ish...

Same with the Corsa C Sxi (1.2 16v) Top speed in the book is 106Mph, but when its hitting the limiter in 5th its doing 120. It just takes alot of time and a bit of wind behind.

Well i actually just tested it in 3rd gear down a dual cariageway :)

Got to about 85mph in 3rd gear at about 6,500 and it was still pulling then a little bit after it lunged forward a bit as the limit cut in.

On that basis i recon i could have got the car to about 115mph if i had enough road. (the handbook only says 105mph ???)

I believe it is 6650rpm :look:

Should be the same as teh 1.4 16v i should imagine. Use the same gearbox.

1.4 16v standard limiter is 6620rpm.

well keep going till it bouncers of the limiter then u'll know the limit

Have had mine to just short of 6,000 rpm and never seen the point going higher.
