There have been cases in the press where people have boasted about breaking speed limits, some even posting videos and the police have used that admission to prosecute!

haha i dont need to dream mate! i have been there an done it

an that when my car was standard i.e. no mods, exhaust,alloys.....

whats the most u have reached on a track? the car does say 140mph on the the speedo so it should be capable of reaching it!!!

I ain't gonna argue with you. I've owned a '02 1.4vvti e12, and have one in work. As 1.4's go they ain't bad but they'll barely hit 115 nevermind 130...

Anyone else care to comment?

How long have you been driving Rez?

To be fair, I think all manufacturers figures such as top speeds and fuel consumption are a bit overstated and probably rely on optimum conditions. I certainly doubt if the 1.4 can achieve 130mph in the same way that not many people have been able to get up to 140 in the T sport....on the track...obviously

Think about it...do you really think that a 1.8 VVTLi engine is only capable of 10mph more than a 1.4 vvti ? :P

[superjim42]

what if you redlined through each gear no chance of achieving 130 with the 1.4?

[Omasis`]

The only way of achieving 130 in a standard 1.4 is by finding a really step hill and even then the gear box might not even let you do it

to be 100% accurate it was 128mph! and anything is possible if you have the will power!

also it depends on who the driver is behind the wheel, you could have an exremely fast car but the driver may not be capable of ahcieving the top speed!

i will tell you one thing although its a 1.4 it pulls quite good and at top end speed it takes a while to get there but i was just pumpin the accelarator in an out and it went up slowly!

if i was behind the wheel of a T-sport i'd get the most out of that car no matter what! lol

or ANOTHER SOLUTION IS THAT MY CAR MAY HAVE MORE POWER THAN OTHER 1.4s ,it may have had a remap that i dont no about but all i know is that it can go more faster than what it actualy says in the book!!!

the way i think of it mate the 140mph is only there to fill the space on the speedo! most cars are limted these days,

also the 1.8vvtli will beat the 1.4 anyday because it has 95bhp more and it will beat it other cars from lift off. but when at top end speed the 1.4 can keep up with the 1.8 becasue both cars are at top end speed. the 1.8 has so much power and it will reach o to 60 and o to 100 a hell lot quicker!

Oh right, now it makes sense...

Wtf? Do you fall down a lot?

But the top end speed of the 1.4 is lower than the top end speed of the 1.8....so the 1.4 cannot possibly keep up at the top end??

[Wicker]

Was curious as I reached 130 on the track, and still had some revs left in it, but obviously not wise to go around a sharp track corner at those speeds so had no choice but to brake.
