What was your highest M.P.H. in the 2k1 Civic?

Hey! Just wondering what was your top speed in our Civics. I was driving home and I was at about 114-116 mpb. I chickened out from going faster because it was 1am, foggy, and going through hills and turns.

And please don't say pushing the needle past 160 mpb...unless you have a custom turbo or some sh*t like that.

Thanks!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

115mhp. I stopped because the car started following the white line like a train. I couldn't get the car to move off the path without a good yank so I had to slow down. I haven't tried to top her out since that time.

past the rev limiter is possible..I do that now and again in 2nd...I'd imagine you were in 4th gear doing this tho???.. In 5th, on an EX at redline with the gear ratios the car would be going just a tad over 140MPH..

i got my ex 5 speed coupe to 130 with no performance mods. think it could make 132 if i didn't have the weight and it was a lil bit cooler-it's hot as ***** all the time here in southern louisiana-but theres definitly nothing left at that point. that's all she's got.
