By the looks of it yeah, with a bit left to go too!!
I had a 182 after a 1.8 SRi C, no comparison really. Clio was soooo so so fun. Reliable, and great on fuel. Id love to have another

137 I'll have you know. 
Which is book speed. It was chipped so the rev limit was a bit higher, and had a K&N it made so much noise at them revs, the shift light was also on so couldn't be arsed to carry on.

I regret selling mine, wasn't mind blowingly fast but Deffo surprised slot of stuff, and with the right trick bits made an awesome track car! Wish I kept it and ditched the corsa sooner to be honest

Lightweight, epic chassis and an engine that loves to rev, everything a hot hatch should be. In terms of fun I don't think any other hot hatch of that size comes close.

Fun if you don't mind how slow it feels in a straight line.
I never got near 140 in mine, took too long to get there and sounded like it was going to blow up at 100.

Mine neither. Sat behind a ctr up until around 130 on the motorway, in germany of course and that went up quickly. Ctr pulled in but there was plenty of life left in it to go further.
Didnt sound any different to any other 2.0 n/a car with a cat back s/s exhaust.

Yeah cause book speeds always right isnt it  My 106 does 120 in 4th.
As said my 182 didnt take long to get to 120ish, and didnt make no strange noises neither.

Was an excellent example, it was doing about a million revs by the time it got to 100, wasn't comfortable at all.
It took longer to get there than I'd want to take on most roads.
