If you really want a car that will go faster, you should invest in something other than a 7th gen [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG][hr]

Rep Power: 0 Hi,
What transmission do you have ? I have an auto sedan, top out at 203-205 km/h or about 122-123 miles per hour. I have 16 inches wheels. For a 1.7 lt. sohc vtec (ultra low emission), don't expect much from it. Get a turbo or engine swap. If you have an auto, try holding in D3 till about 6900-7000 rpm (before the cpu cuts off, in D mode the engine will only go up to about 6600-6800 depending on the car) you should be able to achieve 190 km/h or 115 mp/h, then push up to D4 and it should get you to the 120 mph
++ mark but its going to take quite awhile and alot of road. Have fun.

Rep Power: 0 I hit 130, on a decline though, 80 west coming out of PENN has lots of road and a good decline rate to test out top speeds. Redline did kick in though and cut the engine, I had my thrill and havent tested it since.

Rep Power: 0 I took my stock (no engine or suspension upgrades whatsoever, just 17" racing tuners w/ ZR rated Nitto tires) 01 EX coupe 5spd to about 137mph (didn't top out I eased off the gas since my girlfriend woke up, but rpm from what I remember just barely hit the red).

Rep Power: 295 I did a few calculations a few months back and figured the 143.5 was all the faster we could go, figuring in the fuel cut off and gear ratios, all you need is HP and you can get faster, until you reach that point, then your gonna need a car that was actually designed to go fast (lol)
