^Heheh^ ok lol.<p>yep there was a topic regarding the top speed of our cars just a while back.. and more before that lol... ive got mine up to 192 kph (V6) maybe it could have pushed 200 even, but it would have taken like 3 years to get there.. i think thats about 120 mph or a little above, as for 138 -->>MPH<<--.... well, are your fenders rolled with 24" inch rims, going down a 45 + degree hill at the time? :D<p>[ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: thebonestockkid ]</p>

This is a funny topic, Because no one wants to think some one is faster then them. I have had my SOHC crusing down the freeway doing 135mph I didn't even notice it at first because it was running so smooth. And the fact is not all engines are created equal and some mods work better then others. Also remember that any electronics running will steal power from your engine. My 1000watt amp reduces my topend about 12mph if i'm blasting it.

Don't forget your speedometer will be off if you don't have 15" wheels! and it gets more off the faster you go!
Maybe this thread would make more sense if it was limited to STOCK versions only!

to answer the question about knowing whether you have a single overhead cam or a dual overhead cam just open your hood and check your engine. it should say either SOHC or DOHC. easy...

I highly doubt anyone who says they got their stock 92-93 SOHC above 105 mph. The aerodynamic Drag is too great and its pretty much mathematically impossible.<p>See my car @Perrys' Car[/QB][/QUOTE]<p>SOHC, completely stock, weight reduction, on 195/15/50 81t bridgestone potenza's= 112mph with a witness in the passenger seat.

You guys are fu*kin nuts!, i've never taken my 95 rs past 100 but my bro claims he hit 125 in it. when ever i take it past 70 it gets really shaky and feels like im gonna lose control. I once took my old lebaron up to 120 but even that felt like it wanted to leave the ground, and it weighs 571 lbs then my mx3. be careful guys.
Hmm. what to do now..
....maybe a VTEC for lunch.

my car was very smooth going that fast, it just couldn't go any faster, I think the tires had a lot too do with how smooth it was, plus almost no wind, and i was kinda going downhill, with intake i probably could've gone a little faster, maybe 113mph instead of 112, hehe. :p
