    I've gotten up to 120 on flat road, and downhill I've been up to 140 (I'm guessing since the speedo doesn't go that far)

    120mph at sea level (Corpus Christi), flat road, and a tail wind.

    With a head wind 110mph. Car was only three years old with about 50K miles on it at the time.

    Around here I never get enough empty road to do that, but I can hit 100 easy for a short time in the HOV lane on the weekend!

    corollas are limited upto say 115, i dont know why, but ive never been able to get my car upto even a hundred, maybe its because there too many lights on the damn service road (least traffic although there a bit curvy, you only notice it once u start going 90...)

    for top speed the DX and LX have an advantage. Your probably saying "they only have a 98hp!" Yea they do but they have TALLER gears which means better highway RPMs. So theoretically you should be able to go faster because you have more RPMs to go. I know! I have an LX-i and a DX, both 5spds. My DX can get to 110 easy and it is about 3800rpms. My LX-i at 90mph is at 4k! I simply run out of gear. When my LX-i was an auto i had it up to 120mph. Fastest i have gone since it was a 5spd is 115mph. So finally the DX and LX can win at something :flipa:

    Hmm! Not to sound like a scrooge! But 120hp efi stock going 140mph? Sounds kinda funny!!! I know the speedometer might hover over the 110 or higher!! but arent most stock cars electrocally impossible to go pass a certain speed limit?? I love my 3geezer!! but it does not sound realistic!! Please I know some of u dudes has cai, wires + plugs, but c'mon!! just my 2 cents!!!! WOW our cars going almost as fast as an M5!! Those things top out around 150mph!!

    Well, I am not exaggerating the 120mph. I don't know if the car would do it at our current elevation with our crappy reformulated gas, but I had it up that high for extended periods on the back roads in Corpus. These roads were so long and flat that you could practically see the curvature of the earth.

    100-110 is not problem at all and I can hit that quickly. The 100-120 takes a bit, though.
