In fact in my 1996 2.3 FPT CSE 90mph is all too comfortable. Not only will this car get to 90mph very quickly, but it does it in such an unfussed effortless way. Speed warning set at 92mph. It's my guess that the local boy racers in their Saxos and Corsas would kill themselves very quickly if they tried our vehicles as they wouldn't have the road noise and revs to warn them just how quick they're going! Best I've had out of her is a tad over 130mph on the speedo, but don't tell the rossas! M62 motorway between Leeds and Hull, 4am, no traffic either side of Motorway, only me driving, no alcohol on board, speed greater than 100mph for about 1 minute, could have gone faster but decided to leave it there, i.e. bottle went!
