GPS at max revs was 147 in mine, again though analogue clocks were sitting around the 0 mph marker so no telling when not using gps.
Its not true that xe novas dont handle, its just more to the point that people aren't prepared to put the right bits on and tbh those bits you need dont cost that much.
It may never handle as well as a small block nova people say but not many small block engines will have anywhere near enough power to stick with a 20xe, in standard form they are probably one of the best engines still out there.
Have a look at this if you haven't already,

Suspension setup will be nearly identical to mine with the other bits being off my car, it wont handle that badly

replies appreciated
