vtr read 134mph, but was probably more like 120ish.
my corsa SRi is fucked, gets to 90 at 3k and then doesnt go any faster after that iv taking the engine out now, should be running alot faster when it returns back to the roads

Bruntingthorpe wasn't long enough for me to max my coupe, you need loads of space unless you are running daft power and short ratios.

Best bet is downhill on m40 haha...
nice section going past like junc 4 -> junc 1...
all downhill... 4 lanes in most places. Usually empty on non peak times. I had 117 mph (on clocks in my 1.2 16v Sxi) - but it was probably only about 109 mph if I was lucky.

Brunters is too short to max a car out, reckon mine would hit 160ish down there...
To get the most from Brunters you'd need a box with some very favourable ratios...
I've had my Corsa off the rev counter (7k) in sixth on the motorway... Not hit the limiter though, not sure I want too!

I used to take my corsa to it's limit pretty much on a daily basis (112mph).
Vectra is yet to see the limit. Been just short of 150mph (indicated on clocks which i believe to be relatively accurate - see below for reasons).
5 minutes later i had an indicated 120mph on the clocks, 118mph on the RoadAngel and a NIP through the post saying 117mph..
