    would anyone know what the maximum speed of the opel combo 2003 1.7 diesel is?

    In theory its 95mph I think but Im wondering if there is a way to have this certified, is there a garage or a track out there who will test it professionally?

    Thanks for any advice

    Could try it on a dyno I suppose, but why?

    Drove one for 2 months a while back. Tops out at about 155-160km/h usually. Was up near 170 once but that was on a long downhill patch.

    I don't think there's a road in this country long enough to prove the top speed.
