This, if no moderators mind, is an incriminating thread. Let's all hear about you guys trying to find out how fast your car goes. I know you all tried it. Somehow I managed to get my bone stock Integra LS, (just an intake), up to 130 on the dot trying to chase down my friend's highly modded Accord. He still has the governor though. 123 haha. No lying now.

80mph in my Blazer... not governed... just wont pull any faster. Not bad for an old tired 350 pulling al 5200lbs along with turning 33" tires.

Nova... with current gear ratio.. and motor ... should probably do about 140-150max... go 3.08 gears!. At those speeds it becomes a brick through air and is limited aerodynamicaly... and where horsepower will decide how fast you go... hahaha. But with 3.73s like what I want... I'd say 140ish... Dont really care haha... It'll be fast enough for me and I dont plan to drive on the freeway much to want a 'highway battler'. :p

well, I've taken my 99 accord up to 110 on the highway SL is 65, I could have gone higher, but was enteing a city where the cops suck... I bet I could get it well over 130 with all stock.. and when I did the 110 it was all stock, that was just after I bought it..

the Truck which is a 00' 3500 custom GMC duelly with the 01' drivetrain, I've never taken that thing to the limit, fastest I've gone is 90 it gets kinda unstable at higher speeds..

the 98' subaru forester I've taken up to 95, and I'm pretty sure it'd go up to 120-130.

06-06-2003, 02:41 AM
I think the limit I read in the manual is 123mph... but I said , or I think I said 130+ with stock... guess I was'nt thinking... I could always remove the governor though.. and if I was really into top speed I could replace the top gear with a 1:1 gear... I can't remember the stock gear ratios on my car..

My mr2 spyder I was bouncing off the rev limiter at 130. Then in my stock 99 civic si I got 115 in 4th gear...ran outta road. Then in my 93 trans am I burried the speedo(155) and still pulling.

hit 120 before that pic, but there was flashing lights of some sort up ahead so I slowed down ... ended up bein road construction. Did this back in October of 2002 in the middle of wyoming.

Specs

Bosch premium wires and plugs

Lightweight Civic VX rims

My car is still slow as fuck and would probably hit low 17's in the 1/4. Even with the swap I am madd limited by this Dual Point Fuel Injection shit.

159-160MPH - in my old (modified, N/A QUAD 4, 4-banger) Beretta GTZ, bouncing off the rev-limiter, while being paced by my roomie on his modified GSX-R.

155+/-MPH (approximation) - in my old 1990 Integra GS (modified, N/A b16a, 10,000RPM limit). Had my speedo pegged (145) trying to keep up (and did) with an old co-worker's modified Yamaha YZF. I basically stayed steady behind him until he started pulling when the laws of physics took over my car. He told me the next day that he only started to slowly walk away when his speedo registered 160MPH. For the non-believers, he never downshifted and stayed in sixth...that's why I kept up.

130MPH - in my last car, the Civic LX (stock motor, modifed with all the bolt-ons possible, with ignition goodies and aftermarket piston rings). This was up to redline in fourth gear. The speed governor kicked in at about 127 in fifth.

120MPH - so far in my current car, the SE-R (bone freakin' stock!). Speedo reads up to 150MPH, but I doubt if the car can go much over 130MPH. Not bad for a bone stock, 11-year-old "econocar" though.

Oh, and before I forget, I got a ride as a passenger in someone else's Ferrari TestaRossa. Took me up to 170MPH. I think. Might've been faster, but I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to the speedo...I was being shocked, scared and mesmerized all at the same time by how fast cars (in other lanes) seemed to come up.

06-06-2003, 06:15 PM
you do realize that at those speeds your spedometers arent too accurate right? You're not gonna get to much higher then what the car is governed at. Unless it has been ungoverned... Say like in my case my 92 lude is governed at what 138mph.... but hell i could see 145-150mph... one way to kinda know what your car is factory governed at is to check the speed rating of the oem tires..... oh and the highest i got mine was up to 125-130 and i believe i was only on 4.5-5 rpms.... but wasnt really looking at my speedometer if you know what i mean.

First off, I had a custom ECU running the b16...no governor and with a strong motor that pulled all the way to the 10,000RPM redline. Second, I know how inaccurate Honda analog speedos are when you get to speeds that they were never meant to be driven in. This is why I based my speed claims on that one on the speed my friend's bike was travelling at. His speedo on that bike went up to 180MPH, I believe.

Same thing with the Beretta. I would never make a top-speed claim if I had no way verifying the speed I was at. The GTZ's speedo reads only to 130MPH.

Lastly, with the Civic, I pulled an I/E 2000 Civic Si on the freeway top-end. Most people, including magazine testers know that the Si stock tops out at about 130. After I pulled on him, about 2 cars, we stayed in exactly the same spot, with me bouncing-off my limiter in fourth. I know I couldn't have done that in fifth. Fifth was just basically a gas-saver gear for that car, since it went faster in fourth due to the governor in fifth.

As for the Ferrari T/R, inaccurate or not, the speeds we were going was...the opposite of slow:D.

06-07-2003, 02:31 AM
my Honda Accord that Loesch was talkin' about only gets up to 120 'cause of the governor. It has big ol' 17's on it and is stripped of about 150lbs. It still feels like it has a lot of pull left but when I hit the governor I get freaked out when it kicks on because it's not a little let off the gas feeling. It feels like the car is saying "yo slow this fucking car down"

im not sure how inaccurate they are, i was just saying, i wasnt trying to say anyone is lying either.. just was making the general comment. as for removing the governor... it involves someone messing with your cars ECU who KNOWS what they are doing, and it still isnt always that easy, especailly with the OBDII and OBDIII

150+ Mph (240+ Kph), and that was when 4th gear kicked in! Yup, thats right - blew me away too when I found out last summer. I was on the 401 west from T.O heading to London, Ontario and I wanted to finally run out 3rd gear in my Camaro (4-speed auto with stock 2.93 gears). So I hammered it at about 120 Kph, rev'd 2nd gear up to 6000 RPM then 3rd gear screached in at 140 Kph (approx. 85 Mph). Well damned if 3rd gear didn't go from 140 Kph right up to 240 Kph! - hello 4th - and we're still going. After about 7-8 seconds of acceleration with the needle in no mans land I backed off (but the car had been still been pulling and had a LOT of RPM to go before 6000 - someday I'll see how high it can go).

127 on nice open I-55 south to Normal, IL. It was me and a 01ish Benz S500 cruisin. He showed me who was boss in the end though. Before he exited, he opened up and took his all the way to the 155 limit!!!:sunglasse Me and my friend (riding shotgun) could only watch as he pulled away. I shed a tear of respect and went on my merry way.


This was before I slapped those heavy ass Motegi 18's on my car though. I could probably hit 123 or so with them on. They are heavy as hell and kill my gas mileage, but DAMN do they look good on my car! (If I may say so myself)

I know. I just have a little fun raggin on American V6s. They just don't ever seem to be able to pull all the performance out of those engines. Even after supercharging (as GM LOVES to do) they don't use all the engine's potential. I'm not saying they are all slow cuz a 4 cylinder accord isn't exactly a speed demon itself, but there's so much unused potential in the Grand Am's Grand Prixs, Malibus, Taurus's, Intrepid's, etc.

Its about time they supercharged the Grand Am tho. Its been such a whipping boy for the past decade. I hate those new Pontiac G Prix commercials though, where the guy is using the button shifting on the steering wheel and when he shifts UP the rpms go UP too!?!:eek7: Maybe people who don't pay much attention to cars (or commercials) wouldn't catch that, but I saw it and was like WTF!

I don't know much about these new generation (like 4th or 5th gen) Pontiacs. Does it have some sort of "Sport" mode that would cause it do do that, or it just reds on its own?

07-06-2003, 11:26 PM
no offense, but if you got a 2000 civic EX auto, I dont think you are hitting 11-120 anytime soon.

I had a 94 RS, so I had no weight of moonroof/AC/CC which probably doesnt save too much weight, but had intake, DC 4-2-1, and exhaust and had a whole freeway and once I got to about 110, it slowed way down and i hit 117 but tookreal long, couldve gotten 120 with lots of room, but didnt.

and I know autos gears are longer but a 5 speed has more of them, so maybe your OD and a 5 speed civics 5ths are the same, but I think yours might be even higher and thats nmot good trying to accelerate from 100+ and dont quote me but I heard that an automatic steals like 5-10% more power at the wheels.

PWMAN
07-06-2003, 11:33 PM
It's mostly the torque converter that make an auto trans top out early. The TC slips about 1000+ RPM more than a manual trans. So if you are doing for example 80 in a 5 speed and it's doing 3000 RPM, in an auto it's doing probably 4000 RPM, gearing assumed the same of course. But the overdrive on a 5 speed is higher geared, but the main difference is the TC.

holy runon sentence batman
You're comparing a 94 to a 2000, of course it's going to be slower. I could hit 125 in my 97 DX coupe, and about the same in my current 00 DX hatch (with its original D16). They are both 5 speeds, but still they have less power than an EX.

120+ in a 1991 Accord Ex auto on the way to lunch during school last year. I had a picture of the speedometer but I can't find it right now. I also have a picture of the whole car about a foot off the ground going of a sort of 'jump' in the road.

the reason i said i didnt have the balls was cause the place i was doing it was right before some major road construction, and i was topping a hill where cops usually sit, so i decided to shut it down before i hit the limit

i hit 128 why though i dont understand my car should be fast than that well i thought i think its because i need a intake tube to the air box.

This is before or after your b18 swap???

Intake would help. Basically anything to help the engine breathe better in the top end as well as your gearing.

07-16-2003, 03:22 PM
That's gotta be a breathing problem. Even if you change your high end gearing, but if you ain't breathin right, you won't go anywhere.

This is where the fun of tuning comes in. not a lot of people really concentrate on their top speed as much as their 0-60 and 1320. I guess cuz figuring out how to raise your ceiling is a bit harder than figuring out how to jump higher off the floor.

156 in a 97 Grand Prix stock hitting the rev/speed limiter burried the analog guage and was only reading on the HUD.

115 in a 84 VW rabbit convertible with the 1.8 GTI motor scariest 115 mph of my life!!!! It would of kept going but i did not trust the suspension setup or tires or motor ect... lol

131 in my current 96 Teg but it would've kept going but the roads in texas where I was at suck and did not trust my tires to hold up to those potholes at 131 mph.

07-20-2003, 10:56 AM
before i took away my gti's limiter i could only get up to 130 (ovbiously b/c thats when it kicked in). now that i've taken it off i've done 140, b ut i stopped b/c of traffic and the engine seemed to be closing in on its top speed (had 2 shift from 4th into 5th at around 135). damn good for a stock 174hp vr6 with a chip (add bout 10 crank hp for the chip, so we'll call it 184hp. there)

07-22-2003, 12:59 AM
it is a breathing problem i have the stock air box but not the intake tube so the throttle body is sitting there unprotected but prolly tomorrow im gonna go to a wrecking yard to pick up a stock gsr intake pipe

Sounds like a good idea. If your pocket allows, you might as well get a little more room to breathe and pick up a full intake system from AEM or somebody.

My Jeeps speedo only goes to 85 but I got it back to 0, so ~115-120 maybe? It felt like it could have kept going but the suspension started getting squirlly. That was with my long ass ratios with the 3speed w/ OD AW4.

I got to 120 on the highway once being real late trying to get back to a paintball tourney my team was playing in. :D being teh leader typically means you have to SHOW UP.

while cruising 120 my friend yelled cop. sure nuff he was sitting on the side of the road i though for sure that was it... jail time. I slow down, he pulls out and i thought he was going to chase me down. Instead he went across all 4 lanes on the highway and kept going. I shit a brick. Never went over 85 for at least the next 8 months.

I ran my mustang up to 150 before I ran out of gear (3.55's with a C6, 7K redline) but with my new 4L80E it has enough gear to do 200, but I don't think i'm ever going to go that fast :tongue:

In my civic I still have the stock LS tranny so the gears are pretty wide, but winding out to the top of third I took it to about 115. Might swap my quaiffe into a GSR tranny to help keep the turbo spooled on the highway though.

I have a question regarding gearing and top speed. ok, if the gearing just multiplies the revolution of the engine to the wheels, in 5th gear, at 0rpm, the car would go 0 mph. and at 7500, my fuel cut, Id be topped. so at 3750 in 5th gear if im going 90, does that meand I got enough gear to go 180?

some cars have long enough gears to go very fast without hitting the rev limitter but will not have enough power to reach that speed....they simply cannot outpower the air friction

Thats wierd, because 5K would be right at your peak torque level and thats where it should pull that hardest. I guess your engine just doesn't have enough power to push against the wind.

yeah but were talking about the peak torque level of a 13 year old 1.6 liter flowing through a homemade plastic intake, stock manifold and like 1.5" exhaust (whatever a CX comes with stock).

I still plan on semi rebuilding it and slapping on my turbo, then I am gonna go out and hit 180:lol:

yeah right, I still wouldnt have the power, or the aerodynamics, but hopefully 140 will come that will be faster than ive ever gone before(138 is my old record)
