A stock Civic...EX...Si...SiR...does not make enough horsepower to go 135...too much drag. I don't care what pics you wanna try to post--have me ride along wit ya and prove it. I have had 3 different Civic EXs (new ones) and none of them would do over 125.
I topped out a 1995 Mitsu Eclipse non-turbo at 146mph and cruzd at that speed for about 10 minutes on my way back from LA on the straight of I-10 between Palm Springs and Indio........SOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN

My EX 5speed went 130 ish once, but if you guys go back to the begining of this thread, You'll see it's been agreed on that the speedos aren't that accurate at that high of speeds. And also, Honda is known to have some "strong runners." Or rather some of their engines may have more than 127 hp (crank) while others have only 127 or maybe even less. Not every engine and speedo and speed sensing unit is exactly the same. SO if you want to prove these high speeds, post a radar picture, or the ticket that came with it.
