EP3 CTR = 141mph (on gps) in germany found the limiter 
Saxo VTS 140mph (on speedo) in germany scary as fuck so slowed down 
Although the saxo got there quickly I was impressed

There is lot of difference between shown and actual.
135 with whistle was then i remembered roof rack was on.
97 30ft camper van on way to POD,
Anyone ever had to slow down cos you get a banging from the back, then you relise the radio aerial hitting the back window.

6800rpm in 6th in my Corsa whilst being live mapped. Thats only on gate presure so a raise in boost should see it touch the 7200rev limit when the time comes. No speedo so have to guess how quick that is.

320d with a remap, 200bhp, 300lb/ft.
It wouldn't rev any further, that was at that speed for about 4 miles without changing.

It only revs to 4450 though, 6 speed box, looooong ratios, it would do 157 if it had the power to pull to the limiter in that gear.
