Rep Power: 257 Seriously though what highway did you go on so I can try that before a cop pulls me over. Were you going down a mountain? I've only managed to get up to 115 on my EX before being scared of getting caught. These are on PA highways though 322 rocks.

From what I understand, you have to have an EX and it has to be a manual transmission to get up to those speeds. Regardless, it still takes forever. When I hit ~133, I was on a straight, flat road.

Rep Power: 228 it took me forever. 2 hours and something minutes. just kidding. it took about 2 to 3 miles to get to that speed. my car is just an ex 2004. i still have the sohc engine but made some upgrades. valve springs, cam gears, cam shaft, cai, and ecu upgrade and thats it. i was on the 15 freeway towards vegas. just a heads up, please dont try it unless you have a radar, make sure the road is clear still, please dont try it. do it on the track or something.

Rep Power: 257 So do you have the stage one or stage 2 camshaft? I reckon a stock motor would not be able to do what you just did. And what ECU upgrade do you have? VAFC? Emanage? AEM EMS? I also don't plan on doing this just anywhere just more curious if our motor is even capable. I hit 140 on route 18 in jersey once in my dads BMW 528I and I vowed I'd never do that again thats how scared I was since I've never gone that fast.

Rep Power: 253 I think I'd rather be drunk driving than going 130mph. If you wreck going that fast they're gonna need to use dental records to tell that stain on the road is you

Rep Power: 232 ok. not trying to highjack the thread, but heres a video of my '05 lx at about 120 before i thought i saw a cop and slowed down. took a little over 30 seconds to hit 120 from a dead stop. pulled over on the side of the freeway and waited for it to clear and then went for it. http://www.unclejuice.com/0_120mph.mov
