i had my first car (corsa 1.4 8v sri) top out at 105/106, my second car (corsa 1.2 swing with 2.0 cav ecotech engine) dont know coz the speedo was not working, but it was f*****g fast!!! and my latest car (corsa- obv - 1.6 16v sport) fastest i had it was 115, gf was in the car so i never went any faster, had just over 1000 revs left but prob wont go much faster than that!!!

don't wanna burst your bubbles but are you going off speedo indicated speed? because most over-read, more so the faster you go. For example my Vito overreads by 5 mph @ 70, so 75 mph speedo indicated speed is 70 mph actual speed.
sorry guys
