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: 254 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: 282 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: 258 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
