No, i was supporting your statement. The fact that he has a turbo attributes nothing to the fact that he hit 147mph, since stock ludes can do that anyway.

If he had gone faster, his turbo statement would then have done justice to that fact.

Re: Top Speed?

I've done 127 in my automatic 94 prelude si. I held off from faster because i hate having my car revving up so high for a long time... it's hell on her.

Re: Top Speed?

just dont go over the redline and you will be fine, like i said if the Vtec doesnt even start until 5000+rpm and the redline is 7500 rpm or so, then im sure its safe to be inbetween those rpm's

yea going that fast is such a great rush... heres the story when i hit 140... i got on the highway going down the ramp at about 80 or 90, a crotch rocket was pulling up right next to me so we both hit it, i got to about 120 he hit prolly 150 and we both started slowing down, but he was quite a ways ahead of me, so after i while i figured if there were any cops he would have attracted their attention already, so i hit the gas again and just started cruising and eventually hit 140 and passed the same crotch rocket, he didn't like that so he gunned it again... oh i failed to mention he had a girl passanger on the back!! haha... he flew past me when i was at 140, he must have been going 170 or 180 mph, it was freekin insane!

Re: Top Speed?

I have 97 SH and have only had it up to about 136 so far... it's amazing that in a car 130+mph feels so fast cause I've had my 03' Kawasaki Ninja ZX-636R Sport bike to 168 and it didnt feel as fast as in a car... maybe I was just used to riding for so long and now I have a car again so I am not used to it... haha

Re: Top Speed?

base 97...topped out the needle at 150
car feels unstable after 140

(don't try unless you have miles and miles of open road)
