book figure is 96mph. you will see 100-105 on the clocks though. a true 96mph is obtained in 4th gear though, 5th gear is overdrive

Rcb i believe Sly_SRi was talking about his SRi so i dont think that has anything to do with your question i only posted that so you can see that 1.2's are good top end not just the bigger engines although there slower at getting there

the secret to good speed in a 1.2
Ive had 88 down a hill but as soon as you go uphill it says fuck this a slows down, might as well get in the crawler lane with the lorries

there is no point in lying 
especially not in a place like this,, because you'll get caught out lol
i must have had 100mph, even if it did say 105mph on the clock
just had plenty of road and a well looked after engine
..and i was rocking furiously in my seat

it's odd, sometimes it gets to 97ish really easily (relatively speaking), other times it takes an age but it depends on weight, fuel, wheel size, etc, etc.. All i kno is if you shift up to 5th u will be hard pushed reaching anything over 90..
