my speedo is spot on at the top end as pople have worked out what it should be doing using the gear ratios and tyre size and my speed is bang on. wit hthe 1.6 i have seen the far side of 130.

Why is it when someone askes a question on here or states that they done this or that speed that most of you feel the need to immediatly shoot that person down???

Almost every person on here that states what speed there doin is either a liar, talkin shit or both.

I'm not starting any arguments here I was just wanting to know why most people on here do this???

because people come on here saying they have a 1.2/1.4 etc and saying they had it at 130, basically bosting about it

if they wanted to find out what the top end is, they would just ask or look in parkers - not say "whats the top end of my xxlt car? ive had it at 250mph"....who fooking cares? if you know anything about cars then you would know that as the needle goes further up the scale, the less accurate it gets. Plus your car manual that have figures in them and even they are stretched abit

my 206bhp ibiza will manage an indicated 140mph. And there are 1.4 corsas doing 120mph and 1.6`s breaking 130mph?

Also fitted my GPS yesterday and my speedo overeads by 4mph.

i had my road angel in mine and was pretty much spot on the speed reading from that, your ibiza will most deffo get to 130 alot faster than my corsa will but i hit the 7200 limiter in 5th and working out wit hthe rations and tyre size that 133mph.

i just don't like hearing about 1.4's doing silly speeds.

1- i own one and its shite
2-think how naff it sounds when its only 90bhp and how many cars can beat that
3-some people actually believe they are going fast
