My parents actualy owned 2 of em' a 1980 and then an 84 citation, both of em 4 door sedans with the 2.5 L 4 banger... I can attest that it will do over 100 mph, but I sure don't reccomend it Grin

I am still driving it, my little Opel Astra ( or Vauxhall Astra for our British Friends... Roll Eyes

)

It's loud, a bit sluggish, but will do a comfortable 140 km/h ( don't tell anyone Wink

)on the speedway without a problem... and tops 175 km/h ( In Germany offcourse...)

1.7 TD ( 70 hp Undecided

and quite a heavy weight, but a diesel!)

I'm quite fond of the thing.

But i wouls swap for a Austion Martin DB9 in NO TIME... Anyone? ...

I had my driving lessons on an Astra diesel. 90hp, but my driving techer made it all up (150kg+).
Nevertheless, that thing still went 150kph on the autobahn. Grin

You'll only get 155mph out of one hired over there. Hire something unregulated from elsewhere if you want to have some real fun.

Please not. We've got enough idiots here confusing the autobahn with a racetrack.
