I Have a 1999 Fiat Brava 1.2SX with no modifications and I can get 122mph on a long stretch of road, lol no gatsos down the A38.

Just wondering what other people can get out of theres

Thank you dry sludge for confirming what i thought! I got it up to 120 on the speedo down the motorway, but since the quoted top speed is 107 or something like that I was a bit dubious as to its accuracy. Did you confirm it with GPS? I plan to if I can get my dad in the car with me doing that speed (then again he's not exactly gonna open the door if I'm doing that s he?)

Had mine showing 120mph once. However - there is no way on this earth that a 1.2 can do that. Clocks must be way out at that point. The HGT behind me was showing 125 on her clock.

afair the speedo would be about 10% out, which at 120 makes 108, matching the offical top speed pretty much. None the less, still impressive from a 1.2

my bravo is on the end of his breath at 132 mph.
it's a '99 1900JTD chipped to 138HP but it's still not enough,now I going for a longer gearbox:D
 
I had just over 130 one xmas day on a very quite M1 but when I tried to beat it on the A50 I only managed to get to 120 before the nice uniformed chappy in a volvo with blue lights stopped my fun.

115mph on M180 to Cleethorpes in a 1.2 Bravo, would not budge past that though
 
on tueday evening i had 119mph (gps confirmed) out of my girlfriend's mk2 punto sporting (same 1.2 16v engine as bravo). this was on a flat stratch of road and it definately could have kept on going (loads of revs left in 6th) but i had to slow down for traffic. even my bravo cant get much more than 120mph, which tells me every car should have a 6 speed gearbox. why dont they?!
