Top Speed

I have gotten in two arguments with this guy over the top speed of a factory 2001 civic ex. He swares it’s 115mph. I know he is full of crap b/c I’ve had mine to 124mph@6200rpm.

Will you respond by telling Chase (the guy) how/why he is so wrong…then I will print off the responses and finally shut him up.

THANKS

James, no offence bro, but stop being such an ass. This is a forum where people post questions to learn. I don't even know the answer to the question he is asking but I had to post because I wanted you to know you were being an ass. If your going to post, post something with advice or a friendly comment.

Thanks-

speeometers can be off. I know when car and driver did a top speed test on a porsche 911 turbo, the dash read 180+, but the radar gun only said 167 or something....

Yeah, its hard to tell the exact top speed of a car, because there are many different factors. One could be the speedometer is off. another could be that you were driving on a slight downhill, and that got you up faster, another could be the wind was blowing into, you causing your car to be slower.
