More than 106



Seriously, it's not built for top speed - it has the aerodynamics of a holey brick! Probably tops out at about 135ish due to wind resistance. However it's not the top speed, it's how fast it gets there - and how fast it goes around corners, too. And that's just plain wonderful!

thank you for mocking the 106, i don't know if i updated my profile but the 106 blew up, spat the drive shaft out.. got a corsa 1.4 now :P...

well thats enough (with all the cameras about and all) i supose the emphasis of the car is how fast it gets to its top speed..
