166................kmh
the car wanted to do more but it was 11pm on a motorway turn, unable to put headlights on as truck ahead of me, so must slow down now. but what a rush. have done in the region of 145kmh a few times by motorway for brief stints. never had high revving engine before, im used to shifting at 3000-3500 rpm

in a 1.2L.
Its wierd, the engine is roaring at me at 5000 rpm but it can go to 6300, ive done 6000 twice. I cant wait to drive it again home from work. Maybe Ill get it up there again. Funny its real loud at 5000, and quieter at 6000??
