That sounds about right. I have an SRi 140 myself. I love the car. I checked the book on it via Total Vauxhall magazine, and the top speed is 131 mph, but I got it up to 157 mph and I couldn't believe my eyes, but do be careful as the gear boxes are really easy to break. I've just replaced my third one and need to do it again. Maybe it's just the way I drive. Other than that, it's a great car. If you have any queries, take your car to your local dealership.

The Vectra 140 will not do 157 mph, is this some kind of joke?

140bhp is not enough for that sort of speed. The speedo must have been massively overreading (not uncommon at high speeds).
