Kay, So my friend and I, Jordan, are at each other's throat's about this. Which car would top out at a higher top speed- A 2nd gen stock Me-so-bitchy eclipse, automatic, non-turbo. Or a 91 EX Accord running about 155 under the hood? I can't seem to find top speed ratings on the eclipse 2nd gen. but mine tops off about 115. Could someone help me out on this please, the question I mean?

Maybe you should read his post a little more carfully before being a jack ass. He wants to know what the eclipse top speed is. Not his.

bitch...i said..."google is pretty good too"...assholeOriginally posted by bbhondacb793
a lil bit of extra knowledge would help the guy out too.....what did your post do to contribute...LOL...
hey newbie...i mean new guy....
the only way your gonna have to check is to do a run on the highway.......if he is not governed he will top out prolly around 120.......the N/a 2nd gen eclipse only produces 140 hp. let me give you a clue......the turbo version tops out @ 130 mph according to dsm tuners..

i'm pretty sure top speed has nothing to do with horsepower, as in if your gearing is the same as stock, your stock car will top out the same as if it was modified..Comment

in a vacuum (or on a dyno) that is corrrect. sadly, in the real world, we have aerodynamic drag to worry about. if you dont have enough power to overcome the drag . . . you wont get to hit the top of 5th (or 4th depend on your transmission)Originally posted by ckyskater733Last edited by ACC0RD22; 03-21-2006, 01:29 PM.Comment

I think that depends, if the car's last gear is too long, it may not have enough power to use it all. More power would mean it would get to the top speed faster and probably go a little faster. But who knows how much more horsepower it would take to make any sort if difference.Originally posted by ckyskater733

96 Would be 3rd gen??? Or no...?Comment

96 is second gen I think because the 1st gens are the 91-94 ones that look like replica's of the eagle talon.

Lot of funky stuff in this thread...
Anyhoo, top speed has everything to do with horsepower, and indirectly everything to do with gearing as well. Considering the two cars are about the same in power and aerodynamic profile I'd say they both top out at about 120. For the record, my car topped out at about 125MPH...but a stock speedo is useless at those speeds, so it was really "around" 125MPH. I did pass my friend's governed Altima 3.5SE though
