Wow! A little sensitive?

its kids like him who spin out of control, hit a mom with her 3 kids in the van...kill the mom leave three kids witout parents. And he wont care one single bit, its kinda sad, jsut wait till it happens. Maybe it wont be tommorow, next week, or this year, but with that attitude you arent going to make it over 100mph that many times, so enjoy it, retard..

I know this is an old post but i just wanted to add that i used to be really slow, but then when i added the GS rear spoiler I noticed a 10 mph top speed gain at least. Maybe you could try that. Add some stickers too, I have heard they help.

Though, those 13" daytons probably helped that speedo climb faster.

by level I ment no incline or decline in elevation. put a level on the ground and bubble is in middle.

[Wagner359]

the only time will you want or need to go past 100mph wont be with innocent people around me. If I kill a family and die you can kick my gravestone too. And whats with all the harassment I'm just curious how fast my MX-3 will go and I'll find out at like 3 am on an empty freeway.

it will never do 130mph... it runs out of gear at just over 120. trust me ive got one hell of a ticket to proove it. gave me the ticket for 115mph and i slowed down a little. that was just past redline with my 125hp shot of nitrous.

The fastest I've hit in my GS was 193.. thats kms per hour. You're telling me that your car with all 88 horses, bone stock is faster than mine (and every other stock GS out there)? I don't really like accusing people of bs'ing.... but come on.. lol. Just my opinion.

The speedo works fine when it was smoged the speedo read the same speed as it did on the dyno screen.

YES my SOHC hit 130MPH, but it only took me a couple miles of freaking interstate to do it. I hit 150MPH on the stock speedometer with the B6T using the SOHC F series tranny and still had room to go on the tach before red lineing. The G series protege LX tranny is taller on the low end but has closer gear ratios and a lower geared top end than the F25. With the F series tranny I shift out of 4th gear & into 5th at 115MPH. The G series tranny I have to shift from 4th & into 5th gear at only 95MPH. Not to mention my car. The motor isn't what limits your GS...the tranny is what sets your top out limits. Even though the G series has a taller final drive the F series has a MUCH larger gearing range. So yes my SOHC toped out at a higher speed than your GS...but as for acceleration times you would obliverate a SOHC. I haven't tried to top out the G series tranny yet...and don't know if I will till my car is done, which then it will be riding the rev limiter in 5th before it crosses the 1/4 mile (600HP baby)! Right now my car is running about 80% on the stock turbo, goes down the road slightly sideways due to torque steer all the way through 1st & 2nd gear spinning and hits around 105MPH at the 1/4 mile mark. We have a stop light that sites 1/4 mile right before a large road sign. Haven't had it timed in tha 1/4 yet. OH yea if you want a higher top speed and taller 5th gear for your G series tranny, you can swap it the the 5th gear from a MX-6. I don't remeber what year etc... but call Derrick @ Corksport & he'll tell ya. I'll be doing the gear swap my self when I get my car to that stage. :p
