uhhhh
3g, i got it to 120, dad got it to 115,
Ford aspire, (YEA I SAID IT!) 105 Commin down the Syskiyous between oregon and california,
(i made it from portland to yreka inlike 4 driving hours (mapquest says its like 6)
And then...
1977 Nova, Was cruising a back road at 13, and floored it, (speedo topped out at 80) I looked and it said i was doin 80, then kept goin, looked down, and it said i was doin 15mph.. so it went all the way around..
THe fasted I've screamed was about 115-125 in a fuel injected Plymouth Caravelle with the pedal 3/4ths down.--it was stock with a factory turbo, used by "government motor pools," and some police. Not a bad car, until squished by a jacked up toyota pickup painted 50 shades of camoflouge (and a few spots of red).
The only thing I did to the car that could even remotely be considered a "mod" was busting off a plastic "jacket" that sat around the throttle/fuel cable (whatever that is on a FI). Very nice to drive--kinda feels like you're on a Star-wars land'speeder, and pretty roomy for a sedanish-coupe.
My 87 Accord LX isn't quite as balsy yet (though it handles better in some aspects), and I've only topped that at 88/89 mph, not wanting to #^@$ it up before I give it some new life (an a lil' bit 'o soul...).
I figure 88 mph is a good test of a car--if I can get up to "time travel speed," I can always save myself if a crash... or somethin'.

got somewhere between 105 and 110 with the 87 lx can't tell for sure because the needle was bouncing around a lot. I was still gaining speed but cars were coming up.

I've been to 175kph since. Should be able to do more since I just clued in today that my 2nd barrel probably hasn't been opening (or at least opening fully) in quite some time.
128mph in broad daylight on the 210 west in a 1994 prelude . Just hours before i ripped the motor tranny, wiring harness and ecu to get ready to put in my 3g

i've gotten my 89 lx-i up to just over 110, then it started shaking a little. if you've got a fairly clear day on Pellissippi connecting west Knoxville to alcoa highway, yeah baby. there's maybe 3-4 hills to get up along the way, but it's fun going down the other side. i actually passed a buddy of mine on the right doin 90 and he was laughing and shaking his head. it's not a normal occurence for me to do this stuff, and i'm always looking way out for cars coming up.

65mph, on hwy. that's pushin my luck too. one more ticket, bye bye license.
3g....not fast....but, I have had it up to 125 mph......down a hill. About 118 other wise. I have been a passenger in a twin-turbo Firehawk (that's a Trans-Am on steroids on roid-rage) doing 185mph on I-75 Southbound between Toledo and Bowling Green. We were racing a YZ 1200 crotch rocket. Needless to say, we won.
I hate all this RICE on RICE violence!!!
I just ripped out a 1/4 mile time of 14.7 in a 88 DX(!) Accord hatchy,and a top speed of 119 Mph.I almost shat my pants and I posted the same exact thing in carb tech,carb chugging adjustments.I could not believe it,and still cant believe it,as my car hasn't ran for about 6 months do date today.I cant even start to list the mods,as some of them were dome before I even got the car off of a track racer,than made it a sleeper again.The car is in bad shape cosmetically,but the motor is absolutley fine.
ive gotten my car up to 130...it wasnt scary but i know i coulve gone faster
neo, what are your mods? Those are excellent times for a carbed accord

when i first got my 86 LX id up to about 105-110(i think i could have gone faster) frequently but not so much anymore.. i dont feel like beating this car up if im on the interstate now i usually will max it out at 90 but thats me not the car
these cars wil do 130 like the speedo says, you primarily have to open up the exaust and intake so you can get the top rpmpower it runs out of breathing room with the stock exaust. for crying out loud my 81 civic hatch would do 85 on the interstate blew a few peoples minds, had a tendency to get airborne though. rolled it something like 14 times. the hatches seem to have better aerodynamics thats always been the case with honda's. i've run it at atlanta motor speedway years ago and got it up that fast, handled very stable. remember this is a two litre with a very good suspension many famous european cars were two litres

On level ground, my 84 seems to top out at about 105mph. One time on the long hills down into Los Angeles on I-5 I pegged the speedo (120+). The crazy thing is there were still people passing me.

Top speed 130mph on all stock 89 accord lx with 33,000 origenal miles only synthetic oil and k&n oil filter. yesterday I pulled a run of 115 before a truck cut me off.
The fastest I have got my car was 220+ km/h. I say 220+ because 220 is the last number on my speedometer, but the needle didn't stop there...
This was an stock euro 87 Accord EXI.
I had about 100, I let off, because my tires are crap, and blowing them out at that speed = no good
