    60mph on normal roads, 70 on motorways & dual carriageways.....


    about 18mph/1000rpm is a good guess

    An indicated 120mph at about 6k rpm on 185/50R14's, but realistically its much closer to the 100 mark.

    i have always maintained that if you got for example QH inner cv's for both big block & small block, the internals should swap over.... if only i can find someone brave enough to try some..............

    1.2 spi (4spd f10) top speed is 96mph, have the original sales brochure for my expression not sure if that's power or gearbox limited though, however if you search out stuarts sig theres a gearbox calc tool on there

    the only way you'd get a 1.2i to reach a ton is if you drove it off a cliff........... 90mph top whack i'd wager.....
