top speed?
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.

yeah i thought it was around 120 i hit 118 the other day on the highway as it was late and no one was on the road, but i coulda had another 2 mph damn! haha thanks for the info
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...

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!
