130mph, but that was before I fixed the boost solenoid.
I once saw an indicated 153 on my old cavalier, had an electronic speedo so shouldn't have been too far out.

I dont really want to do that sort of speed again, the world passes you at an extrodinarily quick rate
155mph in my spec c and she was still pulling
from about 100mph in 6th(runway
)
