Brochure? I really don't think it list's top speed. Besides the one I've seen also said the sedan is more areodynamic then the hatchback, which doesn't make sense.

The fastest I went with my 86LXI was 127mph.

thats downhill right? i doubt you were really going 130, im sorry,... especially since you have an 87 lxi which also has 10 less horsepower then the 89's. the fastes ive gone on a flat surface! was 120

No I was doing the pikes peak hill climb:D :rolleyes: .

Yeah your right I wasn't doing 130 it was 127, and it took me over 4 miles to get it. Otherwise I can only manage about 115 before I run out of road, given more space I know I can go faster, been their done that. surely you don't think all the body styles have the same drag coeffecient. :D

depends if you have a 5spd or auto too, with a 5spd you can get up there pretty quick but with an auto you will be waiting all day...

I pulled 105 up a hill in 5 th, before all my mods... so i know that 110 -120 is possible... but 130 i don't know about unless you've got headers & intake & exhause and a good tailwind!

just dont get excited and do something. just be very careful. after looking at the S2000 crash video in the old post. i am freaked out whenever someone says they wanna try the max of our cars. Just make sure everything on your car is reliable and watch out for any animals or mainly cops. Be safe man and good luck

225km/h converts to 140mph I found this hard to believe not that I don't believe you maybe downhill with a tailwind j/k;)

But please do post a pic that would be cool but don't kill yourself doing it.

pics are on the way... I just dropped the camera off at the photo place. Disposable camera... I lost my digital :mad:
It was on a slight downhill, but a LONG straightaway.. dunno bout' the wind. The speedo only goes to 220km/h..

my 87 will do around around 115 in fourth ive done 130ish so 140 does not seem that far fetched unless you have some misterious problem with fifth gear or have no significant upgrades

I've done 126 on flat Highway 5 lanes wide. Never have had the chance to go faster. It also took it's time gettin there too.
