If I didn't do much motorway driving then I'd prefer quicker acceleration every time you put your foot down instead of a top speed most people don't get to use.

I know I would'nt buy this one as he seems to think that a BaileyS dump valve and two oil changes are enough to give it an extra 80+ BHP.
Unless you're tracking the car then even if it was 120 it wouldn't be a problem would it?

Scoob is not really about top end, likely to max out at 140 and not for long due to turbulence around the intercooler/bonnet scoop and the engine going pop.
Scoob is more about acceleration and good confidence inspiring handling with the power to make it an entertaining drive.
If you want something to match a vectra gsi on top end then i suggest you get a vectra gsi or similar

Low miles, virtually standard
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1973674.htm
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1791529.htm
Higher miles but looks ok, not sure if part sh or not.
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1773246.htm
Pics would be nice on this one....
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1960657.htm
Also a bit newer
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1902339.htm
White is rare, shame it only has part sh but just had £800 quid spent on a service and 1 owner from new (that alone may be worth looking at)

Good advice, freely given - ignore it at your cost.

Hardy a snide post at all (spot the smilies) , wind your neck in a bit, you come on here asking for advice, you got some. If you are worried about vectra GSI's and top speed then fit a K&N and a superchip to the 1.6 whatever and i am sure it will be an easy match!
Enjoy SN and try not to take offence so easily
