ecu limits at like 120 or somethin...if you're going downhill, or if you have enough momentum, u can hit 130's.
i was going at an incline and my car refused to go higher than 118 mph, when i started going downhill, the momentum carried me past 130 once.

my camaro has no governor or ecu limiting. It will basically just stop accelerating due to power band, weight, all that good ****. 156 is around what I could go...will I? fvck no

i've had my 02 Si up to 120 before, and i'm pretty sure it was still going, but thats just a bit too risky for me. ive only done it twice, and hit 110 maybe 4 times

I only took it up to 120-122. It was still pulling, but I had no control over the car, so I stopped.
I usually like to take it up to 100 in 4th, when I get on the freeway. Feels like you have a lot of power even if you don't.

I had an ollllllld car, an '86 Civic HB. I got that thing going 127 downhill in Nevada once... and I could have gone faster, but I dared not with the way it was shaking...

No mods, probably didn't have more than a 90 hp engine. I know that doesn't sound like it makes sense... but I swear it happened!

My stock 2K1 Civic Sedan 1.6ES 5-speed (VTEC, euro version) 15" wheels factory diameter

In a flat straigth hit 125 easily...

With a passsenger and in flat with some clear road goes to 131

In a medium descent it goes to the fuel cut in 5th: 136@6700rpm...
Thats how fast it gets without messing with the electronics.



Last summer I did 160 miles on a desert higway in countryside. At nigth, no cops and no traffic... Like I owned the road
Just got sick of speeding... 160 miles at a crusing speed between 115-135mph...
I don't know how much gas... but it burned about 1 liter of oil lease:
I can't describe the car's smell when I stoped...

i'm surprised the Camaro only does 155ish. My car has a limiter at 148, and a SS Camaro would own my car. i only have 260hp V6.

so you're another one of those guys huh? I'ma let you in on a secret. if you come on here and try to pretend your gods gift to driving you will get flamed.

I'm just warning you ahead of time cause if you post a stupid kill thread saying you beat a f-150 or mustang GT or something retarded you will get flamed.

also theres way more then a handful of people who race at the tracks on a regular basis and I'm fairly certain they are ALL better drivers then you.

Unless you have proof that you can drive you cant claim to be the best. And NO I still dont believe you beat an f-150!
