your top speed - Page 10

sleapercivic · 05-12-2004

I have had my Civic up to 148 going downhill.
I have pics @140 down the same stretch.
the fastest that I have had it on flat land is around 135.
once I get my new comp I will scan the pics.

this whole forum is dumb.5 days of guys fighting and lying. cant we all just get along.

who has anything to gain from lying... NOTHING !!!! its a discussion and thats it.. if you need to lie about your top speed, then you might as well lie about your penis size.

I have had 140(indicated) out of my 02 SI on the way to Minneapolis from North Dakota . As i said this was what the speedo said. it was @ approx 7000RPM in 5th though. ADMITIDLY the speedo is less accurate @ high speeds. It still felt fast as $h1T though.

I had 155 out of my old modded 2002 1.8 turbo beetle though.

Never thought a bubble could move that fast. Turbo's the only way to go!!!

I have topped out at 115mph on a stock 2002 automatic Ex coupe-all stock.

112-115mph. 2003 ex automatic. stock everything, just aem sri.

i tried going longer but got scared of police and it wouldnt even get higher then that. it paused at 4000rpm and wouldnt get any higher. or maybe im just not paying attention to the speedometer because i have to pay attention to the road. (during nighttime).

I've only hit 120. I thought our governors kick in at like 127 max. Is this true? Or is everybody really doing 130+?

Damn, skippy, I think we have people trying to compensate for something on the thread...

With the governor sold on california models, at least with the LX mine tops out at 115-118 or so on the speedometer (On the 5 coming from OC to San Diego thru Pendleton).

Anyone know a way to get around the governor / reprogram the chip? It ticks me off a little bit, but at the same time I'm sure it's a bit dangerous to be running that fast on the totally stock crappy firestones.

In my old V-6 Camry I hit 135. Funny how the car died at 140K with a dead tranny, then at 213K with the same problem on a used unit.

As my tranny guy said, "The lifetime of a transmission is inversely proportional to the size and weight of the driver's right foot."

Guess thats why I got the 5 speed. Shoulda gottent he VTEC head, but i didnt think 4000 more for 12 horses and a sunroof was worth it...
