120mph in miata. yes.

[changedman]

I hit 120mph in my dads 10th anniversary miata tonight on relatively light traffic on the hiway.

Did she begin to shimmy. (airplane II)

Must of been fun! I be kind of nervous going that fast in a convertable tho.

 

[Darin]

No big deal, really. I hit 120 in my 1.6L miata - with 30? fewer HP.

 

[changedman]

no big deal? lol, its not like we go 120mph everyday for that matter, some of us have never been that fast.

no shaking. its a 1999 10th anniv with 4744 miles

 

[changedman]

word i was only at 5300 rpms. (the 10th anniv is a 6 speed )

I'm saying your original post came across as if "Miata's Can't do 120, here is the proof!" I'm just saying it SHOULD be able to reach 120... hehe

If I were to buy another Miata, It'd be a 10AE

ya, i love it, the rare times its taken out

Weight doesn't affect top speed. It just takes longer to GET there...that's all.

10 AE's RULE!

so, 120 is at 5300?? I always wondered just how tall the top gears were. My 5 speed 99 miata I used to have only did 128mph@7000. I have not dared to top my 10 AE yet.

MY Miata is WAY More "Elite" than yours.

Here's 140mph...15lbs boost on my 1990 Miata a couple of weeks ago. No, I have oil pressure, just have a mechanical oil pressue gauge...so the oem one is non-functional...

I need to install a 3.9:1 rear end to go faster...as I'm out of revs.

 

[Darin]

NICE What allows your motor to rev past 7200?

 

[TurboBoostMazda]

Same here, 140 mph with my 1992 Eunos at 12lbs boost... Can't go any faster then 140.... Oh well...

 

[B.L. Zebop]

Flyin' Miata ecu. Redline set to 7,400rpm...tach isn't accurate at high revs, as this is still under 7,4oorpm according to the ecu's display unit.

 

[uclap5]

ive been to 118 in a toyota previa.

im dying to buy my aunts 1990 miata that my uncle hates and wants to get rid of, but she wont sell it yet... ill just have to be patient.

 

[Asterchild]

Took my '99 Sport package Miata to 125 at 7000 RPM many times. That car just sucked to the ground at that speed. The only way I could tell that I was going so fast was the noise of the wind.

I've only gotten my MSP up to 120 so far. Only 550 miles on the clock though...so I want to ease her in a little.

We've got a few that are geared for 155
