No, vtr would be lucky to hit 120 if that, the rallye is quick but 140 is a bit excessive, i would guess 120.

knowing speedos they may well say 130+ but its more likely to be 115-120.

i dont know if hes still got it but Simo www.sax-p.com had a calulator on his site for saxos and 106s you out in the gear, revs and tyre size and it tells you the maximum speed possible.
