My 1.2 16v wont go over 100, well it wil down hill! Pulls pretty well for what it is upto 85-90 then all goes flat as fook! BUT as expected, i'd be worried if my 1.2 went any quicker!

no small engine car is nippy!

put it against a 2litre or bigger and it won't stand a chance unless you have lightened it and moded the engine
