well 70mph is the max speed limit so why would you want to go faster.......
i assume you mean on a private road,
exactly how long was the road wer you going up hill did you have a car full of people have you got half a ton of speakers in the boot,
weight is a serious factor for accelration and speed

couple of things, firstly check the oil level, seems alot of people have a simmlar issue with their cars if there is low oil.
altho check that your throttle cable isnt streched, if it is you will notise slow accelration and not being able to rev it up.

open the bonnet and try pulling open the throttle see if it revs any better if it does its probably just the throttle cable

might be worth wile getting a diagnostic done ether try a paperclip test or get it to a mechanic to check it out
