    120mph from a mk2 sporting????

    i have a 99 mk2 1.2 16v sporting, i had to travel alot today and gave the sporting a real hammering!!! i was surpised that i hit 120mph at two different times (on a private road just off the motorway). i thought the dials were out but the sat nav was reading about 118mph/117mph and thats usualy a couple of miles under the speedo.

    i just cant beleave that a 1.2 could do 120mph.

    has anyone else had this sort of figure out of a sporting?

    what is the maxium speed for a sporting give by fiat?

    My sporting is flat out at 110-115 that was last time i was on track. I find it very hard to believe that other sportings can go faster. Its all to do with gearing in the end, mine was nearly in the red.

    O and by the way mine is chipped and mine struggles over 110 ie wont go very much faster
