I think the story may be that he was spotted and crashed while trying to get away or something. That crash wasn't at that speed. Either way, not a great way to start your driving career.

He might not of crashed it at that speed but even so NO WAY was he doing 120 at any point, Sri's dont do 120mph no way not the 16v and definatley not the 8v, i doubt a gsi could reach that speed

Even digital clocks would be inaccurate, they're designed to read wrong so you're always actually travelling slower than you think you are.
Plus the car isn't capable of that speed. I had a 1600 that topped out at 109 verified by GPS timing gear on a private runway.
I've had the GSi way in excess of 120 indicated but its not going that fast, the gearing is pissed with the wrong wheels, and they were never that accurate as standard.
Either way, hopefully that will slow him down.
