Got her to 95 tonight downhill, very scary indeed as it was on a private country road. Couldn't push it further as I ran out of runway, but any faster on a road like that and I'm sure the wheels would have fallen off.

my p reg 1.2 8v showed 120mph on speedo
my s reg 1.2 8v showed 107 on a sat nav
and my 52 reg 1.2 16v only shows bout 117mph down a hill

i think 115mph is possible and maybe 120mph, i know they cant sustain that kind of speed, but reach it, well yeah maybe.
1*2 owner can annoy me sometimes! we (1.2 owners) are not saying we can race around at these speeds, but probs and hit them.
well, im not dreaming. its just a point of view :rasp:

Some dreamers in this thread saying 120mph out of a 1.2 tbh.
Had about 105 on clock out of mine, at which speed its screaming its head off and not a very enjoyable experience.
Speed limit is 70mph anyway, it's not very often you going to be doing 100mph+ in the morning rush hour, douchebags.

why dreaming, when they said that they actually hit 120mph? surely in thier case fact?
105, well ive had over that in my old s reg 1.2, and no it wasnt enjoyable.
we know the speed limit is 70mph, and no its not often you go 100+, i dont think anyone here would actually say they could race about at 100+ in a 1.2. but i think you'll fine a 1.2 can hit them speeds!
Love theses 1.2 discussions on top speeds

A 182 owner here, probably 110bhp up on a 1.2 and 182's aren't even all that quick up at these speeds (110/120) yes they'll do a realistic 135 maybe but it wouldn't be easy! Not sure i'd be happy trying to see how fast i could get out of a 1.2 clio!!! Braking distances must be hugh at those speeds in a standard 1.2!!

lmao, lets just agree that they are sh*t slow

Had an indicated 115mph and a GPS reading of 112mph in my old 1999 1.2 8v
Along a flat stretch of road on the M8 from Glasgow to Edinburgh, yeah it took ages to get there but it got there FACT.
Too many people moving the goalposts saying "it wont do more than 90mph" then when people say it has it's a "yeah but it'l take ages"
The time is irrelevant really, the fact is my meticulously serviced low mileage example was the most reliable car ive ever owned, apart from the Renault rattles i doubt i'll ever own another car so mechanically sound.
There will be dogs out there that will struggle to get over 100mph but a well looked after engine on any car with an engine greater than 1000cc is more than capable of 100mph.
Had it not been for some tw*t in a beemer pulling out without indicating i would have had more out of it.

This is all very believable, except for the part that says you would of had more out of it. That bit right there is pure and utter bullshit.
Secondly, openly admitting on a public forum populated by several bacon bangers that you were doing 112mph on a public road is beyond stupidity.
Clio
I believe you! i had 110ish out of my old 1998 s reg. which wasnt in that good a mechanical condition.
Ozzed Clio
i personally dont think 100mph takes that long to get to and the brakes are awesome for the size of them. not dangerous at all.
a burnt one
Have a word you moron!!! at what point were you in the car? who the hell are you to say what it was and was not capable of? so you believe i had 115 indicated but dont believe it would do anymore? is it beyond comprehension that an extra 1mph was squeezable out of it?
Do you think i just go about making ridiculous statements for the fun of it?
Secondly, i couldnt give a monkeys about what i admit to on a public forum so why do you care so much? i can see it now, the chief of police is currently sitting on CS trawling through this very thread chasing up the adresses of the dozens who have admitted to speeding.
Actually i did lie, i sat at 112 for 5 minutes violently pushing myself backwards and forwards in my seat hoping against hope that there was more to come, i made it all up to look good on the internet, i concocted all these terrible lies, even risking prosecution just for the hell of it.

124mph on GPS? That's gotta be like 130ish indicated. Nah, I'm not believing that for a minute.

Were you 120+ lads behind any other car doing a similar speed? That could've helped with the wind hinderance.
Still finding it hard to believe though!

Did you know that cars always go faster? Yes that's right, apparently if you have a long enough road, a 1.2 will eventually reach at least 150mph. They always have more to give so I guess that's true.
Either that or this thread is seriously full of steaming s**t. I love how the chavs always complain about 182 drivers belittling them. Is it any wonder? A Clio 1.2 will not do 112, 115, 117, or 120. A very steep hill, yes perhaps if the gearing permits, but then my 182 can do 180 if I drop it out of a plane. Ergo a non-argument.

You mean on Earth?
PMSL - Roy you the man...
(I'd like to see you drop your 182 out of a plane too!!lol)
125 on the clock = about 110 - 112 mph MAX!!!!!!
