Physically impossible for an auto 7th gen because of air resistance (coefficient of drag)and gearing issue unless you have a turbo and making 250hp to the wheels.

dont ask me how.. took me a while to get there


Some of you are so FUULL of it.

Stock auto Civic SI-G (cdn). I had a near empty tank of hi-octane fuel, no one in the car, sunny day, no wind, no traffic out on the highway. Perfect chance to test her...

Roughly 180 kmh, give or take... as I was more worried about handling the car and watching for any stupid obsticles on the road.

That's when I realized having 5 gears instead of the AT's 4 would help, aswell as realizing there was a limiter cuz she was still gradually picking up speed right up to the 180 mark.

IMO kilometers are better than miles simply cuz they're more accurate. I don't see a big diff between like 60 and 90 mph - it's like a fraction of an inch, how useless. You American Civic owners should use this as your excuse if you're ever caught speeding.

...and why the hell do our gauges go like well past 260 kmh? Is this incase we find ourselves going downhill?

you guys know stock speedos over 90 arent acurate.. mine said 142 but with gearing, final drive, and tire size i know its 138 when i hit rev limiter
By law, speedos in cars sold in the US can show up to 10% faster than the car is actually going.

I've been up to 95 in the Vic, no need to go any faster...

In the past year:
120 in my old 1990 toyota pickup
154 on a Honda 600F4i
145 in a Lincolin MK8
137 in a Jetta 1.8T

I've had enough speed for a while, fortunately no tickets though.
