Wind behind us? I believ the speedo is 10% out on all cars, so if you were ding 113mph you'r really doing 10% less the that, 101.7 ?

AdamH 21st September 2008 18:53

not quite 10%, i know at 70 its 3mph out as someone had a gps tracker test a while ago on here i belive.. or 106owners...

but the 1.1 clocks only go to 110?

dannyboy2005 21st September 2008 19:00

Well they go up to 115MPH.. and a big clock next to it :D

moxy89 21st September 2008 19:02

my 1.1 only foes a ton.. 113mph bollocks. unless turbo ' d

AdamH 22nd September 2008 15:32

no a turbo 1.1 would be quicker my dear friend, tbh its people telling porkies and or its not a straight road... down hill etc... but as i stated, it would take far to long to get to top end in a 1.1 any way so where have they been doing this, certainly not on track...

Predator_R32 22nd September 2008 15:37

i dont think the speedos are out that much tbh

if it was then we would be doing about 8mph standing still according to the dials, but it sits on 0 on my car at least, even had my road angel on and there just about right, it also has a lot to do with tyre size etc

saxo_bigbass 22nd September 2008 15:37

ive had 108 out of my 1.1 and it took a while. got decat exhuast n a filter.

AdamH 22nd September 2008 17:05

tom toms, road angels, their not propper gps timing equipment

even so , 0-20 its about right, then 30-50 it starts to drop 1/2mph behind what the clocks state..

etc etc really need to find that link, cant remember if it was on here, ssc, 106oc, or rr

oh yeah my old 1.1 used to crack 120 when it wanted to work on track at oulton park

AM4R 22nd September 2008 19:02

1.1i 5 door, that was nippy! Loved that car!

CoolC 22nd September 2008 19:19

Lol i cant believe what some of you do to your cars, 55 in 2nd. 1.1's going 115. I only done about 80 in my VTR down motorway, most of the time thou just stick to 70.

wowoo 18th January 2009 21:57

TBF mate, why have a fast car if your going to drive it like that? I know its the speed limit but have some fun or sell it (to me!)

I dono.. I've had just over 115mph. All of you think its bullshit but oh well.. It did take for ever and i think the conditions were perfect.. A cold motorway, cold breeze etc..

Very scary when you consider your only sitting in a car with a 2* Saftey rating (First thing that i thought anyway)

blackie_2k5 18th January 2009 22:33

not a saxo but my lil 1.2 clio(96) had a 4 speed box and used to do 64 in second and could get about117 tops, i thought the clocks were miles out so i got my m8 to follow in his vectra and they were nr perfect
