just over 110 ,
not bad but I have seen the calibras speedo pushing 130,
yes I know the calis probably quite a bit lighter but weak-otec , I dont think so, I wasn't even maxing the revs at the time

Give me an XUJ4 in a BX any day

Seriously though, I do like those GSi Cavs, without any rust and especially in that colour they look spot on! As James said though, the Carlton GSI would be awesome! That's another car on my 'must own lsit'

tbh, i don't think it was the max speed he was on about, more the speed at which it got there. hell my diesel mondeo estate will do 120mph...

apparently, that cars not a gsi cos its not a saloon

and as for chavs nicking the bits off my car - you're forgetting i don't live in brum..
