Re: max speed in ur car?

118 in my old '87 accord auto down a steep hill. 112 on the flat.

99 in a '91 tercel in western Montana . It would go absolutely no faster

84 in a '99 freightliner FL70 straight truck loaded at weight limit going downhill well beyond the 78 mph governor.

An indicated 134 in my old manual '99 accord figure it must have been about 127 cause that is where it was supposed to be governed.

And, 135 in '06 WRX wagon with much more to give.

Re: max speed in ur car?

My 99 Crown Vic could probably do 120 or so, the speedo goes to 135, but I don't think the 3.55s will let me do that. Fastest I've gone is 100 in it.

Sold it, due to a bunch of small stuff being in need of fixing/replacement, upcoming maintainence, and then a rusted out fuel line cracked. All pretty easy overall to fix/replace, but I just didn't want to dump any more money into the car at that point. Motor is still great from what I know, needs new valve seals, but with 160k...that's to be expected.

Re: max speed in ur car?

Just went 145 in an RSX-S last night, Drag limited to around that and 150 it seemed after 2 runs.

Then followed that up with 165 in an 03 cobra vert, hit the gov with plenty left.

one of the motorcycle forums i go to has a moderator who's also a cop. he says that he's told to give a buffer of 10 mph in any zone under 55mph and a 12-15 mph buffer for 55 + zones. but that's only relevant here in the states.
theres a town nearby that the cops will give you a ticket for 1-2 over.
there were lots of people in my defensive driving class that had tickets for 2 over in madison Va. the guy running the class said he once had someone in for 1.5 over.
they all get thrown out once they go to court.

Re: max speed in ur car?
