   I'm just wondering how many Saxo's can do this? Yeah, it nearly redlines.
   
   Do VTS's beat 55 in 2nd? Or around the same? Thanks.

   VTS with a VTS gearbox does 62 mph @ limiter iirc and I think a VTR does 59,
   a Furio/Westy I have no idea about.

    some saxos will show 60 on the clocks
    none will actually do it in standard form
    only if you lift the rev limiter or have longer gearbox ratios
    
    all saxo speedos have errors in them and over read slightly

    the question mark confused me ben lol
    
    its a pretty well documented thing on here that the clocks are shite
    
    mine actually sit at about 2-3mph when the cars stationary so they cant be that accurate lol
