0 - 60 in 7.7, no idea top speed. I would suggest that the book 149 isn't far off. Whatever, must more than we can safely use in our roads....

MV6 auto.

had mine up to 125, but not an elite :y, then had to slow down cause a van pulled out into fast lane hitting a hill, had to pull into middle lane, was lucky no cars where in the middle lane, never seen the astra turbo after that 8-)

Cant really do a 0-60 in mine as i don't have a mid :-/ Did try it once with Timbuk2 running along side the car with a stopwatch but she fell over after we got to 15 mph and refused to try it again ::)
