top speed

[akkordlayinkit]

I've thought our cars had a speed gov. too, like the rev limiter. So how is everybody doing all these speeds? Computer chip-reprogrammer? I know in my old Xtreme the gov. stalled the engine at about 97 mph. Also what tires are everybody running thats doing 120+ ZR?

I doubt everyone who takes their car up to those speeds has the proper tires to do so... I think accords cut out at about what, 120? Also, h22sparkle has a JDM H22, I believe... no speed limiter on those if I'm correct (I have no interest in finding out for myself... I KNOW my tires aren't made for those speeds!).

[h22sparkle]

yeah thats true very true on the turns but my susp[ension was done to a small factor but it helps. suspension and tires are the key in that part. yes i do have a speed govenor its at 120,125 i believe and its sad i be askin for more. Oh and yeah i did notice the difference when i changed back my rims back to steelies after i busted em so much for turns but power steering with no power seams to soften the blow when your parking.

LX ECU will top out at 120mph, EX ECU will 130mph and JDM ECU has no speed governer from what I heard. The first 2, I have try when I swaped ECU to see if it really an EX, real dump way to test , but it was straight empty highway for like 8 miles at midnight with no car around (lucky there was no cops..)

Highest I've been is around 135 but thats only because I got to ride in a cop car and they were chasing someone. The car must have had some serious shit done to it though because it was a crown vic but it was still quick. Highest I've been in my honda was about 90 and I didnt even realize it at first, once the car started shaking like crazy I realized and immediatly slowed up.

I hit 120 in my cb7. I was still in 4th gear damnit. Can't wait to get rid of this governer and see what it will do. Other than that the fastest I've gone was in my brother's Maxima when I hit 135. I also went up to 120 riding on the bike of a motorcycle which came up in about ten seconds from a stop! Riding on a 150+ horsepower motorcycle is very scary...

Wow! That's nuts! What kind of bilke was it?
I wouldn't be caught dead on one that powerful... you'd most likely catch me dead on the ground behind it!

Yeah, I thought I was going to fall off. It accelerated so hard I could barely hold on to the driver. It was one of the new model Yamaha V max bikes. They are like 145 hp or so from the factory.

my 93 lx shuts down at around 115 to 120 , im not sure if the 17's are affecting the speedo much but it should read like 5-7 mph slower than actual speed from what i hear. although i'm running 205/40's i think the outer diameter is the same as stock but im not sure. i am faster than most turbo eclipse.

120mph and i still had some room to go on the tach...and thats only because my chick was like "how fast have you gone? i say we find out what your baby can do" instigator!!

In my car, I got upto about 135mph then i just ran out of gear. Car was hitting redline of about 6500. Just needed a 6th gear but alas the car doesnt have one. Car still felt like it could give alot more if only the gear ratio was higher.

I think we are more forgiving for speeding on out motorways here than in America. At night most of them are dead.
