I have no idea, the speedo only goes to 100 MPH.  I was in
a big hurry one day, going down a big hill, and tried to see
but the end result was I could not find the speedo needle,
at a glance.  It was way beyond 100.
    BTW, this 2.1L obviously did not have any kind of
governor, that some people speak of.
