Corsa 2.0 16V Turbo 
on VMAX EVO310 xip and cams... 
 
Max that my balls allowed untill today...   
 
  
 
266kmh is 165.3mph   
 
Being a stack dash 
that picture is the peak values 
the rpm showing is not the same as the time it was doing the speed... 
and ofcourse the speed is acurate!!!

I taken mine up to 100mph, then pussy out before I finish the job... Not sure the 1.2 has enough power to get to the limiter in 5th though.

8v? if so, it will reach top speed in 4th, which is nigh on the limiter...

My 1.2 Corsa c topped out at 122mph @ 6700rpm, that was scary cause it limited at 6500rpm. 
My new 1.8 limits at 135 @ 6500rpm, needs another gear!
