    Car: Chevrolet Lacetti
    HP: 110
    Max speed i got it into: 190 km/h.Not bad for a 1100kg car.

    Another car: Vaz 2109
    Hp: 83 (it's unbelivable how russians got their daily commuter to be as fast as 4 cyl foxbody).
    Did 170 km/h on the highway.

    Last one: 2013 Hyundai Accent 1.6
    Hp: 120 ish
    Did 160 on the highway before auto gave up.

    I think it's the other way around, how the hell did ford manage to make only 86hp from a 2.3L engine? Those are NA diesel numbers :p
    I'm guessing the 2.3 was unbreakable and had enough torque to move mountains, that's the only way I'd be able to justify that power output :)

    70mph because the Zafira can't go any faster and takes about a minute to get to that.

    Is it because it has a black box in it, I was lucky being that I passed at 24 years old that I didnt have to have one installed

    Don't Zafira's just have a 1.6 Corsa engine in them anyway? Corsa's aren't exactly fast as it is, and I doubt the weight helps

    Same car, less impressive top speed. I hit 95 MPH on Interstate 5 in California, while overtaking a truck.

    1. 1993 Pontiac Sunbird SE V6
    2. 140 HP stock, not sure how much it had left at this point
    3. Freeway, uphill, curving, raining so hard that the wipers were useless even on ultra-fast
    4. 104 MPH... according to the cop's radar gun. DERP!

    Fastest I'll admit to, anyway.

    I really don't see what's so impressive about it. You just get an empty highway and hit the gas. I regularly do hit speeds of 100mph or above, and that's certainly a risk, but I'd never do it while any significant traffic is out, and never on sections of highway that are frequently patrolled.

    My Grandmothers 2017 BMW X5 M Sport with 320 HP I believe. The road was slightly uphill, but im not sure how fast I was going though.
