what the clock shows is not the true speed also

in all respect, its not all about "top end" what do you use more, top end or ur 0-60.
your in town, stop at lights, pull off... yes ur obviously going to use your top end :s, unles its a matiz then yeah 
i have a problem when SSW go on cruises, i get left behind cuz everyone starts to start hittin tonne 20 in their cars and im left at pushin 90 tbh, but around town im the only one whos taking that bend at 40 and leaving them behind in the lanes.
and if its all about top end, my XJR 1300 with a "few minor" adjustments sits off the clock at 180! and im only 18, cant name another mate with whatever car at my age that can do that kind of shit!

Said like a true pro. To be fair 1.1's are made for the tesco run not 115mph.
The only thing you can do is track slag it really. make it as light as possible. no point in spending money on the engine because your only ever going to see very little gains. however, striping the inside is free and you will get the same increase in performance.

Right i used to think gettting that type of speed out of a 1.1 was a load of crap but i got the limiter in 5th, might you i was going down a hill i would say it was probably like 117 mph but thats like the max it would ever go!!!

As long as its warm, and well serviced you should be fine taking it up to the limiter every now and again, after all, its there to stop the engine over-reving.
Love it when someone says 'how fast is your car?', in what respect? Top speed? Dunno, never done it. Acceleration? Quick enough, but not quick enough at the same time. Corners? Never quick enough.

No they are out a lot.
it's not a fixed amount they're out by... it's a percentage.

we know that, ive actually got it to the end of the clock after about 5 miles flat out on the M6 on the way back from the lakes. no word of a lie. can easily touch 100 on a daily drive! one day if i get the equipment i'll prove it!
but then again it is LOADS more fun on B roads
