It says around 150mph, the 'official' top speed for a Cavalier is 138mph so it's close...............

You would have to be dull to buy a car with the wrong engine on the logbook, and then try to insure and Tax it!

yeah your point is? both speedos would be out by pretty much the same, speedos always read 5-10% over, I have never seen a car which has been bang on, even as standard they overread, wheels just make it worse
