TOP SPEEDS..curiousity

hey whats up...i was just reading a thread and it made me want to find out what some of the craziest top speeds anyones ever done and in what car...(really just bored so i decided to start a thread)...highest top speed wins......respect and an honorable mention for being so crazy as to do such speeds

88 mph inorder to get the Flux Capacitor going

i see u went to future and picked u up a 2004

hey this isn't the delorean forum :grinno:

lol

110MPH, that's as fast as my dad's un-tricked un-touched focus SE engine will go...

120MPH on a camaro '95 manual....was afraid to go any faster
whimped out at the last minute

I've been in my friends car ('95 4dr) with an h22a swap in it and went 142mph on a highway. But let me tell you it was no fun when you're going that fast with 4 people in the car and someone cuts infront of you. I was in the passenger seat and I could feel the front brakes give out until he pulled the e-brake right before we hit the lady. Of course I don't know if that really counts seeing as how I wasn't driving and it wasn't my car; and his speedometer was a little off because he had bigger rims than stock.

well, at 110 my civic stops being a car and starts being a plane.

a plane with no propultion, control, or stability.

well, more like a missile :o

so i try to keep it under that. highest sustained speed was 95-105 on the I90 tollway from ohio to chicago... was in a hella hurry. sustained driving at that speed with traffic going 30mph slower sucks :/

when your ride smooths out to caddy soft, and the steering goes to hell, it's time to CAREFULLY slow down!

115 with my 2000 EX with no mods on the NJ Parkway on a slight decline down to Seaside for Spring break :smile: I gotta go again and see what I can get now.

135 in my old 87' rx-7 and steady speed of 110 - 115 between stockton and some crap hole town 40 miles south

112 going south for a long while and kinda of downhill, friend and i decided to go to a cemetary during the day, and then we went again a week later in my friends escort at night dun dun dun at night and cops were there lol, our driver didint have his lisence so that was a good time

131 Miles per hour in my civic 1999 SiR.

Me and two other people on the car and some laugage, I was doing around 7000 rpms in 5th gear so it would probably top at 135 or so...not sure.

Wont try the top speed cause I will probably die, I got a girlfriend, brothers and friends. I want to die later.

163 in my vette....past the end of what my civic speedo reads and 198 on my 2003 gsxr 1000 ltd ed.

My car maxes out at around 125. I've only done that a couple of times and it feels like the damn thing is about to fly off the road. Probably the highest speed I've maintained for a long time was 115 mph for about an hour, going north on the New Jersey Turnpike at about 3 am. All the way from the Delaware Memorial Bridge, onto the trucks-and-buses side, and back past the merge, almost to New York. Just 10 mph slower than max speed, and it still handled well enough to maintain it. So somewhere between 115 and 125, the car loses it's freakin' mind.

177mph (on the speedo, actual speed was probably in the mid-160's) in a highly-modded Eclipse GSX, I was driving.

198 on a bike...i know you guys are used to that kinda speed but thats crazy

Yeah, that's pretty crazy...
That's why I don't have a bike. I'd do something like that and run into a friggin guard rail or something and get launched into orbit.
I like airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones, that sort of thing. : )

Street-legal bike speedometers are way off at that high of speeds. If you didn't get radar confirmation on that, I'd say you were only going around 180.. which is still fast as shit.

Kinda slow.... for an airplane...

Kinda slow.... for an airplane...

this should be posted on the bike forums lol there is whee u are going to see some top speeds

110 in my 96 civic. Havent had a chance to go faster scared of getting another ticket got to many allready..

hey richochet im feeling that ultrasound...wonder if my kids gonna do that

155mph at VIR in Feb 2002.

This is with 205/50x15" tires so that prolly threw off the speedo ALOT! I think max speed of the 2000 Civic Si is 143mph.

seems to me that stock civics are governed at 180 KM/H which is what? 108 mph?

I wouldn't say stockers are governed at 108, I've had my stock, despite a CAI, '97 DX up to 115. A previously owned 200 GS-R up to 125, and my first honda, a '94 EX coupe up to 130.

'course, the current DX is in the shop due to some clicking in the valve train somewhere....dammit

i believe the governer is around 120-122 but you can go faster than that if you're going down a hill; or get the ECU chipped. But it could also be different from certain years, who knows for sure.

yea those VTEC controllers are nice, but wheel1856, how long of a straightaway did you have to build up that kind of speed?

In my civic with LS vtec and a t/3 t/4 turbo I did 160. on my huyabussa I did 216 runnin' from the pigs. in my boys escort we barried the needle ant 85 and brought it back up to 15 mph . ps don't speed, speeding is very bad and you might get a ticket if they catch u. LOL

bout 130-135 on my 95 civic ex in Irvine, CA...it was friggin fast!...it was also a BITCH to fix it afterwards....hahaha......aint doing that shit again!

110 in my 96 civic. Havent had a chance to go faster scared of getting another ticket got to many allready..
i asked a cop what would happen if they caught a person going 110+ and they said more than likely jail time, and impounding your car, and so i was scared

The 97 DX I got goin to 115 on a nice straight on the PA turnpike, flat - believe it or not, for mere mortals the drive from Annapolis, MD to Youngstown, OH is 6 hours, for me, I boast 4 1/2 hours, no tickets...yet. Of course, now that I've said that, next time I go home.....The 94 EX I did on flat road, turns, at about 3 am on a fun little stretch on a road deemed 680, Youngstown "bypass" - in college my fraternity brothers and I would race to Perkins after a party - those of us that were sober that is, and call it the SAE 500, good times.(SAE being sigma alpha epsilon, not society of automotive engineers)

speaking of ohio and fun roads, if you are ever in eastern Ohio, and want about 20 miles of horsepower hard on, route 9 south from Salem to New Carrolton, whoa. Even more fun if you continue route 39 from new carrolton to New Philadelphia...nice long stretches and open view curves.
Safe too, no traffic, worst case scenario you have to slow down to pass an omish buggy...

honda civics usdm dont have governers...my boy took his 92 dx i/h/e to 125 on 13' steelies (crazy bastard)

DAMN.




(ok, now Im post whoring)

130+ on my 96 ex, unmodded. Was going down the 405 to san diego when I finally hit that speed... woot! Don't know how much faster I was going cos 130 was the max on the meter.

and can we keep the discussion on civics here?

i asked a cop what would happen if they caught a person going 110+ and they said more than likely jail time, and impounding your car, and so i was scared

There was a guy here in Chicago who got nailed about 3 or 4 years ago for doing over 170 on his bike on Lake Shore Drive. He was taken to jail and his bike was temporarily impounded, but after posting bail and paying his fine, he was a free man. The funny part was there was a news crew that filmed him leaving the impound yard, and as he's pulling out of the gate he pops a wheelie and screams off down the street.

But i digress and get back on topic...

Fastest i went in my Civic was just over 110 mph. The fastest i've ever gone was 132 mph in an '89 Cutlass Supreme SL on the highway, very late at night. Luckily no cops were around, or i'd have been in deep shit.

i've gotten to 100 in my lx on a very up and down road, starting at about 60 or so from the top of the last hill. locked the tires when someone pulled out infront of me. suppose it was best that way as the speed limit turned to 35 where they pulled out and there was a cop bout 1/4 mile down the road... i havent even tried toping it out on flat ground yet

p.s. does anyone else absolutely hate when people see you coming fast then pull out infront of you fast, but dont go fast themselves?

140mph 02' WRX stock.

I think like 125mph in my civic...I couldnt really tell because my speedo is in kmh it was at 180 if anyone cares to convert...

before the swap my car would top out at about 125 mph. now i have run it to the point that my speedometer needle had passed the point of being straight down and headed back up towards 0. i am guessing it was a solid 150 or so

what swap do u have in what car (if u dont mind me asking)

i have a gsr swap

oh okay...makes sense now

B1SiR6A 180 kph equals 111 mph, not 125 mph.

you guys are so cool

93 mph. 97 Maxima SE.

Whatever 9000 RPM's with 24" tires in fourth gear with a B16 tranny is. Lot faster in my other car.

135 in my rsx type-s bone stock on a highway.. dunno if i could have gotten a lil more i just kinna freaked out and started to settle her down.

I was in my boyfriend's 00 Teggy going 144 mph on prom night. We slowed down because slight turns on the freeway seemed like 90 degree turns going at that speed!

Does 4th gear max out the car?

Does 4th gear max out the car?

No, it could go faster into fifth. Top of fourth gear checks out to be about 132 MPH, and fifth it could potentially do 172. Don't know if it would do 170 (be it limited by the car or the size of my balls :)) but i'm certain it would do more than 130.

my boy took his stock rsx type s to 145 (141 then 145 slight downhill)

when i had the ol d16 in my car it would not top out in 5th. not enough power to pull with that gear. so i would shift up to 5th from 4th and it would actually begin to slow down. lol

fifth gear is worthless in single cams...its for gas mileage not for power

well most of the time 5th is just for mileage... thats why its the overdrive gear

yeah basically...i was running a d15b with a cx tranny...wow my gears couldnt get any longer if i would dare shift into fifth while i was running it was like the brakes would engage, no power and a lot of noise
