Going 110 down highway and still going then car came in my lane and i had no where to go It felt like i could of gone faster though.
thems jus jokes :DQuote:

*EDIE* my speedo numbers end at 130 for numbers, but I think there is another line under my 130 mark.
i got 125 on level highway with 3 people in my car
I've had mine all the way to 130 mark, which is still slow.
Yeah, you're right on the 130, I guess that would work then. Sorry.Quote:

I took it 130 in 4th with the stock tranny. My current tranny tops out around 140mph, but if I were to go bigger tires or drop in the stock tranny I could probably hit 140 plus with the spray. :D
I think a lot of us have hit 130 and unless one of us has an aftermarket spedo then I think that may be the max but the record would probably go to 88turbo or sean
well actually when I was playing with the speedo it actually keeps going until about 160mph. So I got pauls gauges and continued the speedo up to 165, and that would be with stock wheels, if you had bigger tires you could in theory go faster, but we need turbo to go that fast.
damn dude, what happened? you get arrested or something? where have you been?Quote:

I have had my car about 120!! I havent tries to push it more than that. It didnts seem to take that long to get there!!!
about 122-125,dont know if my speedo is exact........thats not downhill either
i got mine up to 130, and that was before i blew my timing belt and with very little mods. havent had it up there since. to many darn cops in the va beach area. the sad thing is that my honda is almost as fast as my firebird for top speed. now acceleration thats a different story. firebird wins hands down no problem but crapy gas mileage. thats why i bought my accord.
115 mph qualalupe expressway, ca. wasn't toped out, i got scared and stoped.
i've done right around 100mph a few times, don't have any stretches to go much fast. lol, i drove for like 3min w/ cruse controle on 100 on my way back from myrtle beach cause 95 was empty and the regualar speed limit was 70 w/ most peeps going 80+.
oin my first 3g (my '87) i hit 105 twice, but i was paranoid about cops being just around the next bend..., so i slowed down both times. i'm heading down to cali next week though for a month..., maybe i'll find out on the way down how fast my coupe will go?
115 in my ghetto almost-stock Honda (topped out) 262,500 miles on it.
125-130 in the minivan (topped out), calculated from tachometer.
83 in the Fiero (never pushed it.. thought I was going 50)
100 mph on the dot in my '79 Courier (redline in top [third] gear)
103 in the '96 Taurus (topped out) (pos)
138 in my friend's Eldorado, him driving, still had plenty left
with the Fiero I will be able to do 160s :) but I don't have the nuts to go that fast.. I was screaming like a girl in the Eldorado
lx-i 130mph @ 5,000rpm 155,XXXmile's
86 lx 130mph @ 5,200rpm 225,XXXmiles
my 88 i'm sure it'll go to 130 or more
if we had long enough road well all get past 130mph.
cept certain lx's and lx-i for some reason have a speed limiter (which i don't think so, this is honda we're talking about, his life revolved around racing at high speed's)
around 110 mph on 295 could have pushed it more but i got scared that the wind will just pick it up turn it upside down dump me out then steal my car
110 today, took me about 10 seconds to get there (20 mph roll), whereas it used to take me twice as long on my base if I could even do that! Im expecting around 150mph, but it needs a good alignment. 110 is scary in the car's current state.
