    I have had my car to somewhere around 145 going down hill one night, but this pic is a normal run, I can get to 130 without a hill and would have done it this time but ran out of room..

    The cool thnig about doing 130mph is that you are still in 4th gear. When I tell people that there jaw drops in disbelive. Then I go pro it to them.

    Highest I have ever gone is a cool 100MPH. The speed limit on the road was only 45 so I was afraid to hit even 100 let alone anymore. It was running really smooth at 100 so I am sure I could have gone faster. Yet again, I only have 152,000 on my 3g so its not as bad as those guys with 230,000+
    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    Your speedomoter is off. 4th gear @ 6200rpm is 120mph with stock tire height.

    Well I'm not to sure on the redline shift point stock is for 4th and 5th. 1st=35mph, 2nd=60mph, 3rd=92mph. The Lx-i tranny is a little less then the DX and LX. Going my the ratio each gear goes up I would say that 4th=126mph and 5th=160mph redlining. I have hit 130mph at 5800rpm riding on 17" rims.

    It doesn't matter how many miles are on a car, it matters how well the car has been taken care of.

    I hit 120mph as a eagle talon was trying to pass me and i looked at my tack because it dropped down like it changed gears(got an automatic) and it was askin for more, but I slowed down because I had been driving all the way back from buffalo doing 110mph all the way, when this guy tries to pass.

    Coming home from picking up my new wheels last week I hit about 138-139 and my camera wouldn't turn on so I slowed down and came around a corner at about 75 in a 70 and saw 3 state cops sitting on the side of the road. Thank God I slowed down, 140mph ticket wouldn't be too good. I got pulled over anyways for not having my license plate on my front bumper, but it's all good.

    Sounds like you should invest in a radar/laser dector. It has saved my ass countless times.

    ive gone about 100 in the 87 lx auto... I've never pushed it all the way tho... i was at 80 on the highway today in about 30 seconds, and when i eased off of the accelerator, i had a whole nother gear and the overdrive. The only problem was that i ran out of space...I HATE TRAFFIC

    115+ in the 88 accord hatchie. the only reason why i stopped going was cause i seemed to be drifiting. but i probably had another 5 mph or so left in her.

    120 in the 98 AV6...so far.....
