I had 138mph on the limiter (F20) according to the Road Angel and the clocks read a tad over 140mph in the XE GSi.

0-60 is around 6.5 to 7 secs.

That's about the 0-60 time of a fiesta ST and an XE corsa will spank them to 60.

The closest I've experienced at Crail is with Civic Type R's, so it'd be about 6.5 - 7secs I'd have thought.

Before the throttle bodies, my old Corsa was about 160ish bhp on an F16 and wouldnt pull through 125 - Partly due to gearing and partly due to power.

When the car was on throttle bodies with an F20 CR box and 200bhp it did 134mph on the limiter at 8500rpm.

Both were timed by Datron gear at Brunters!

Vaux lad - it wont be 20 mph out :lol:

It will be hardley much more than any other speed.

I found mine old sport was maybe 1mph more out flat out than anyother speed (according to gps)

had mine off the clocks at 130mph and my tomtom910 saying 136mph with the rev counter at about 6500rpm with another 200 odd revs to go

my 0-60 times not that i would base a car on this seem to be around 6-6.5 and mine is stripped at the rear by 80% id say..... with just ur basic breather mods...

i much prefer the xe for the torque, 3rd and 4th gear are great for b-road driving, even 5th will pull well from 20 upto 100mph

Realistically tho you wont be doing 140.



why not??


Because the gear ratios and rev limiter says no.

Gear ratios and rev limit say yes to about 135mph real speed.
Speedo will be showing off the clocks..... As it'll probably be 15-20mph out at that speed
