VX website says 127 mph for the 1.8 16v Vectra.
126mph for the 1.8 16v Corsa and
126mph for the 1.8 16v Astra.

The answer would be no then.

i had a 1.8 vectra before i had this one and it was on 17's and i cant for life of me remember wot i had out of it but to be honest never really tried

i have pushed my V6 though and i got 145 out of it when there was just me and a type r on a stretch of the m6. stil had 1k revs to go so reckon i could of pushed to 150......but i doubt i will ever go that fast again

dont underestimate those 1.8 16v though they arnt shy buggers

140mph my arse

Small Corsa, 160bhp, 135-140mph tops
Big heavy veccy, 136bhp,, 140mph, nahh, please work out the physics

130mph with a few mods maybe, but no way 140mph.

top speed of the 2litre veccy is 130 so i doubt a 1.8 will do 140, unless his k&n has given him an extra 50bhp

I topped one out at 135mph with 3 passengers and a boot full of luggage on a very slight decline.
