120mph in miata. yes.

[Keith@FP]

Of course they have roll bars. Not that they'd do a lot of good at 155. You'd want a full cage, a helmet, 6-point harnesses and a lot of luck in that case.

Instead, we just don't flip them.

6, but who's counting.

Didn't say it reached it very quickly...

 

[changedman]

i reached it in maybe 1 mile or 1.5

120 in a 1.6 miata with the top down on a big deserted back road at night is pretty darn scary...speaking from experience that is.

Years ago I have an '83 RX-7 GSL and I hit 130 MPH, I was traveling downhill on a straight away, but it still took some time to get from 90 to 130.

 

[jflo]

my '91 tops out @ 115...Limited Edition BRG 5-spd. the wind in my hair (like 3 inches long) kinda bugs @ that speed tho...very scary

91 MR2 Turbo laundry list of mods.....
Pegged at 165+
Been there (first)

 

[jared]

i used to have a '96 with an intake
120 top down (stupid move, it was in a big turn)
125-130 top up (started vibrbating quite a bit)

 

[my95mx5]

dude i do 120 constantly in my car. its suprisingly stable with very good road manners. i just need a turbo kit to go 130+,lol

On the way to El Centro in Very East San Diego My GF was rollling at 125 in her 2002 for like 5 minutes no problems, she was a little nervous but did great, it has eibachs/bilstiens too so it feels great at speed. I got it to 130 by myself but this cars fun is low speed sliding around turns, 180 u turns ect, so fun to toss and catch. I need boost to turn it into high speed drifting!

I hit 130mph in my stock '91 Miata going downhill with the top down. Very loud but I could still hear my girlfriend screaming.

I would really have to see that to believe it...must have been quite a hill

hehe

 

[Geo212]

I have 16" Konigs which offset the speedometer and final drive ratio, maybe 120-125.

 

[p5sundevil]

160mph jaguar XKR 2003 on closed tri-oval test track...

ie: family day at the jaguar/volvo test center here in AZ.

Of course as I took off down the first stretch I noticed the sign that said 90mph speed limit, but I assumed they were joking on a track =P

I got out and my legs were shaking, good thing I had jeans on or people,would have thought I was about to collpase, never had that much adrenaline in me at one time.

so far 115 in my p5.

 

[eunos turbo]

ah but they are fast

hi im new on here but spotted this post
i own a Japanese import mx5 1989 1600
it has a hks turbo conversion,fidanza flywheel & an act stage 1 clutch
plus the usual exhaust and have had 150mph out of mine
it only run 7psi boost at the mo
as you can tell im from the uk

 

[Bender]

I got to 110mph on the track stock with K&N replacement filter (panel filter, not a cone) on my old 1.6. Spec Miata guys get to 115mph on the same track on their 1.6's. 120 isn't a big deal but it really is and should be done at the track with a helmet,...

 

[MiaTurbo]

Now I know you guys are doing this at a race track and not public roads, right?... (drive)

I hit about 120 on the front straight at VIR this past spring. Only running about 5psi
