Poll:Top speed in your MX-3?

[killerpickle]

The Mx3 does have a fuel cut off. Maybe someone knowledgable could quote the exact rpm, but I heard it was 8200 rpm...or was it 7700...heck I dont remember

[Justin Murphy]

When the MX first came out, I read a Car and Driver report that had a 92 GS topping out at 145 miles/hour. This was a performance test was done with professionals. I personally have had my 92 GS up to 138 mph on flat ground at it was near the redline on the tachometer. Not too sure I could have it going any faster because it wasn't really stable at that speed. Definetly won't do it again.<P>J

I got my car up to 190km, I could have probably gotten it up to 200km but I was in sort of a heavily cop infested area so I didn't want to push my luck.<P>Also my car is an Auto GS, I don't think pushing it that high is that good for the tranny.

I made it to 215kmh at 6500rpm <BR>on the highway but I was playing whit the fire caus max speed on HW 110kmh and if over 187kmh you loose your drivers licence<BR>just my luck that the cops were not there<BR> <BR>correct me if iam wrong but dosent the size of your wheels matter on top speed and rpm's [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

since im not to keem on the idea of getting my liscence revoked, the fastest ive gone is 72-in 3rd gear w/2 other people.so top speed i have no idea but im not trying it untill i get better tires and get my car droped.

i've made 115mph in my 1.6 , but i i think the fuel cut off is at 6500rpms?? or why i get it at those rpms? could i improve it?

[Q187]

The first night we got my car, my dad got it up to 110 (easily) on the freeway......I've only gotten it to about 90.

[codyhoover]

i have a 92gs and ive got up to 130 chasing a civic down I-5 in WA. it does get REALLY squirly that fast with stock suspention.

Guess the governor was broke on my old 1.8 engine cause before I went KL_ZE I took my to 145mph also. Only about 135 was under its own pull the rest was down hill. Haven't test the ZE yet and have calmed down enough that I probably wont. Don't get me wrong driving fast is fun and all under a controled environment but on the street or highway something as small as hitting a bird at 135 145 can shatter your windsheild and cause you to wreck. I've lost countless friends to sreet racing and high speed wrecks, ggod luck.<BR>DriversClub

[93mxrgs]

not every car is made with a govenor

[-=deathtrap-mx3=-]

that's right, no american car has a gov. but if i'm correct, they do have fuel pump cut-offs from a rev limiter. at HIGH rpms the fuel get cut off.

About a year ago my hood lock mechanism was broken and for the time being I had secured the hood with bungee cord. I decided to floor my 93 1.8L GS on an isolated stretch near the Everglades. When I hit 100 mph my hood came up and hyperflexed, smashing in my sunroof but leaving the windshield perfectly intact. I was able to stop the car in a straight line and not do any further damage. When I got out of the car to inspect it, there was a perfect imprint of the mazda logo from the front of the hood on the sunroof. I know its a little off subject but it has to do with top speed. I still own this same mx-3.

i got a 93 gs with a hks intake and got up to 125mph i dont know if that adds h.p but it was fast i still had pedal left might have got to 140-145 maybe. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

And it didn't have a governor for speed.
