Sporting Top speed.?

I saw a website(can't rem' where) that compared the indicated speed to the actual vehicle speed. (Fiat say 93mph)
Does anyone know what the top speed, of the Cinq Sportingo.?
I Had an indicated 104mph ona newly tarmaced section of the A12 - -beautifuly smoooooth.... It felt that the engine was still pulling & may upto an indicated 110mph.

Any advances.?


stefz..

but that is with a modded 1242.
Hit 103 with the 1108 bog standard before modding on +6% tyres (165/65 13's).
Turbo goes off the clock.

When my sei was 6 months old I overtook my wife, who was doing an indicated 95, in a Renault Scenic on a stretch of M4. I guess it may even be a little faster now it has loosened up. Who knows?.

watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.

The looks on people's faces are better to look at than the speedo[8D]

(75hp? or the more powerful 120hp)

My speedo said 32mph at a real 28 courtesy of a radar detector at a chemical site near here, and York dragway say I'm doing 76 when it says 81 so make your own guess at 120.

Turbo is the 85bhp one, runs nearer 90 I understand. It's quite quick. 0-60? dunno - never really tested it. Quicker than the 1242 n/asp though.
