I'm gonna bring this post back from the dead and then put the final nail in the coffin lid.
2001 Civic LX Coupe, 1487cc, "all motor"
Speed after 2 miles from a standing start = 144 mph
Speed after 2.25 miles from a standing start = 147 mph
Speed after 3 miles from a standing start = 153 mph
Average speed for the entire 3rd mile = 148 mph (this is the official speed)
2001 Civic LX Coupe, 1487cc with 100 shot nitrous
Speed after 2 miles from a standing start = 143 mph (then I hit the nitrous)
Speed after 2.25 miles from a standing start = 155 mph
Speed after 3 miles from a standing start = 168 mph << ohh baby!
Average speed for the entire 3rd mile = 159 mph
Want proof? go to
http://www.scta-bni.org and look at 2004 bonneville runs
http://www.scta-bni.org/Bonneville/S...results_15.htm
Car number 529 H/FALT
Car number 5291 H/GALT (official Bonneville record holder @ 148 mph)
same car just different numbers because I was running in 2 classes.
And btw, my factory speedo was 20mph off at 130 mph on a chassis dyno. Better to go by RPM and gear ratios.
