The cutoff hits around 120 mph. You're not going to hit that 140 on the spedometer.
Some have claimed to go 150 on their Civic ..... but heheheh, I highly doubt it, not with the mods we have to work with.

Rep Power: 0 ive got a lx sedan and ive hit 135, 3 times and had it at 137 once but i think that was becuase my rims were offsetting it a bit. the first two times nobody believed me so i did it again with a friend in the car so i had proof. i think if i took the govenor off it would have gone past 140 becuase my rpms were only at 6.5 when doing 135.

Rep Power: 324 I hit 122 with my car, Lx stock. There was no govenor tho, I slowed down because my radar detector went off. Lo and behold 1.5 miles down the road was a cop with his radar on. WHEW!!!

Rep Power: 0 Here's my question for all of you......
Why do you believe what your speedometer is reading? Several tests have confirmed that speedometers are not dead-on acurate, especially as speed increases. One test I read a while back had a speedometer reading almost 20 MPH MORE than the car was travelling. So, I believe no one, unless you either have calibrated your speedometer, or have another source. (Radar / laser gun, for example)
Just my $.02

Rep Power: 0 To whoever thinks that civic's cut out at 183 km/h or whatever, you dont know what your saying. I had mine at 208 km/h and still had plenty of rpm's to go (reving at around 6000 rpm's), thats when the vr-6 i was racing passed me, so I let off. FACT. 5 speed si.

[hr]Is that so??? Why then does mine go *AT LEAST* 185km/h ? (i.e., I haven't pushed mine to the max yet but I got it going about 185 on flat road) FYI I have an 02 Si Veloz [hr]

2 km/h is so negliable that it doesnt disprove the governer being at 183. If you said like 190 km/h that would be different, but come on...
