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.
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 bulls**t.
Secondly, openly admitting on a public forum populated by several bacon bangers that you were doing 112mph on a public road is beyond stupidity.
ive got the 1.2 16v sport and ive got 124 mph GPS before. A120 so pretty much flat
i will source a picture next time i manage to get that fast, not in these conditions 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.
i got a 1.2 16v and i have done just over 125 before
