Was it on a motorway, "dangerous" A road, or built-up area?
IIRC it was on the A1, early hours in the morning, and only 104Mph,
in a Vectra. I've driven a vectra at an indicated 145mph, and they
are a safe, stable, capable car.
Yup, even my old Cav V6 sat at 140 like it was just doing 70.
In comparison to the turbo, which sits at 70 like it's doing 140
