Is that 90mph indicated by the speedo or an actual 90mph on a Road Angel/GPS device?

I have seen 100 on the Road Angel lol. Took junctions of the motorway to get there though. Once I saw my achievement I backed off to the safety of 90. Showed about 105 on the Clocks.

Surely it's how long it takes to get there that matters and not what it'll do going down a hill?

Just wondering as earlier I had 97mph out of it and it really sounded like it was guna blow and just wasn't pulling anymore, but it didn't hit the limiter so is this just because it doesn't have one or because it's slow as fcuk and would take about a minute to get another MPH ?

It won't have the torque to hit the limiter in 5th.

It didn't hit the limiter because it didn't have enough power to get there. They will indicate 100mph if the road is long enough, but thats probably nearer to 90.

They have cable driven speedos which are very good at lying, which is great for 17 year olds because it means they can show off to thier mates.
