112mph for xr2 i think
Rs Turbo 133mph
rs1800 127mph

i could only see the xr2 pushing 135 if it was running a fiesta rs turbo engine .

Around 110MPH I should think no way 130 even when new leave alone now LOL.

RST at 133MPH sounds more realistic.

Yeah,had 120 on the clock pretty easily on mine but at 10% overead then that's 108 mph so I think 135's Hollywood myself.standard wheels and tyres?their an oddball size from memory on them so any alterations would affect the rolling radius/speedo readings.

My modified XR2i 8v was making about 130bhp and topped out on its Performance Ford Grudge Match at a Speedo indicated 135mph which on the posh test kit showed as being just 119mph.
