Are you running your auto box in 'Economy' or 'Sport' mode?

In the 'Sport' mode you will get higher revs (and speeds) before any up-shift operation.

Check in your owners handbook. Your car is a 960 not a V90. V90s were only in production 1997 and 1998. If you have no handbook and are a VOC member you can download a copy from the website.

All the best, Peter
