renault dropped the ball with the new 197 and with...
for some it does, and i read its actually 131 GPS tested Vmax from auto car ! on a long straight.
I know of times when people are being a wee bit silly and dragging aruond the roads (which face it happens) are going beyond 130 on long bypasses and empty m.ways at night, daft but the 131...
