Top Speed, anyone?
Top Speed, anyone?
Hey, I'm just curious what the top speed anybody has reached in their 4-cyl. I have a 94, DOHC, not long after I bought it and everything was still stock, I hit 130 mph. Yeah, some may not believe it. I don't remember what rpm was at the time, but it was a smooth ride. Why did I push it?? I got passed while going 80, by some white car (can't remember) doing about 100, and decided to catch up...it was FUN. I have loved this little car ever since.

I did 115 mph in Florida at 5500 rpm with a 93 SOHC. It was a rush; I was with two friends in a S2000 and a WRX, they couldn't believe it.

Re: Top Speed, anyone?
My car has been maxed out at 118 MPH. My brother did that when the car was all stock and on regular. Now when it has premium i don't know. I do know that the MX-3 loves to cruze around 95 MPH Uphill even. That was fun... Went 95 for 8 miles up a hile useing the trucking lane we passed 25+ cars and they were all going 70 so it didn't matter to them.

Re: Top Speed, anyone?
Awesome!! Hope nobody got tickets! I've done a CAI on a J-spec engine I just swapped, but haven't pushed it, yet. Everybody who has seen that the speedometer goes to 150mph has asked if it could really go that fast. Looks like we've definately gotten close to it!
