Top Speed?

[crzyCollegeKid]

well...here in florida...doing that on highways is very very stupid...

we got state troopers patrolling in supped up V8 camaros. you have to do it on back roads. on the way to the nearest race track (Moroso), theres a strip about 8 miles long with 3 lanes each way, with big medians on each side and inbetween. and then after the medians are woods. so basically, you can go as fast as you want cuz there is nowhere for cops to hide.

its funny...a lot of the time...people are racing on the way to the racetrack...

Many highways

Although, the Highway is the last place i would try to top out.

Me, already being stupid enough to even top out a car ( ) - I told myself that if i'm gonna do something that dangerous, I'm going to do it in a secluded area where i won't put other people at risk.

well do you live in a major city or something, try going out at 1 am and theres close to no body on the highways, thats where all my buddies and I have topped our cars out, i mean if you can't handle your car at 130 on a fairly straight highway then maybe you should take some driving lessons

[partyhardryan16]

and get a radar/laser detector, theres always going to be cops, thats why you have to know the road you are on and know where the U Turns are, also if you watch a car speeding infront of you at say 90 mph or so, let them go a ways, and they don't get pulled over, the chances are there are no cops

my cousins 88 hit 126 seemed to struggle i dont know why...though we got his g/f sonata(98 maybe) automatic to 149 in about 2 min(after we hit 100 it took a long time to gain much speed)

hit 130 in my prelude s. stopped because i ran out of road.

[crzyCollegeKid]

lol, not all back roads have 3 lanes in each direction...just so happens that this one does, probably since its heavily used by racers trying to get to the track or some reason...i dunno!! call the Jupiter FL civil engineers and ask them, i don't live in the area, so thats the best i can come up with

LOL.. when I hit my top speed on the highway, it was at 2 in the morning, I was chasing down a drunk driver who almost hit me when he was passing me.. I thought about it for about 4 seconds and was like, "Hell no, I'm getting his tag #", so I dumped it down to 3rd, tached it, tached 4th and was bumping my limiter in 5th when I started to catch him but he whipped his car down an offramp.. I let it go at that and slowed back down to a nice 80 MPH and went on my way.


I never drive like that if there's other people around.. I'll play around light to light up to the speed limit from time to time (obviously, whoever's in front by that point is winning anyway), but I never whip through traffic or cut people off.

I hope your S had forced induction or nitrous oxide.. otherwise it would take some major ass bolt ons for an S to hit that speed

[rubix777]

when you hit your top speed, what RPMs are you running at and how long do you stay there?

[DJ Brady]

when I hit 134, I was bumping my limiter at 7200'ish and I held it there for about 3 seconds or so.... didn't like to do it at all, but as I said in my last post, I was chasing down a drunk driver.

[mattilude]

6500 rpm.. 130mph
