msp's top speed??
- Thread starter mazpro
- Start date
i had mine bearing down on 140 so there is no way.....god honest truth, although i came off the pedal cause it i could no longer tell if i was accel, or staying the same speed... could this mean my car is f'd up once again? i have not enlarged the rim size but went to 45's on the tires.....height of ride was not altered neither....?

It took a while to get it up there but i hit somewhere between 150 and 155 (speedo goes to 145) in my 99 civic si. only had intake, headers, and exhaust. stock ecu! damn thing hummed along at 8000 rpm no sweat. you would think an msp could top that what with turbos being extremely good and all. i cant help but miss that little rice burner. it was amusing how people would come up to me wether i was in my car or not and know who i was because of it. kind of freaky but amusing.

With mods, and precautions, we could hit 160, also, we would prolly need to change the final drive gear, and go well over 160. But, as I said, it would take mods, precautions, and I'm not to sure how well our car would handle at that speed with winds and s***, you'd prolly need to be lowered, and have a rear bumper defuser.

Hey guys I hit between 235-240 kph last night but I could not go faster due to traffic.
you could reach 160 stock most likely. try going down a hill. it negates the air resistance against your car because gravity is pulling you down. i used to own a malibu that cut out at 110 mph at 3500 rpm. i went down a hill at that speed can get her up too 127. not sure how but it worked.

I know this was mentioned previously, but everyone needs to realize that what your speedometer reads may not be your actual MPH. I know my g/f's Altima is off by 3-4 MPH by only 40 MPH. My Eclipse is off a couple as well. But they all read higher. Point is, it can say you are going 140, but in reality you are only going 135.
And to the person who asked why they would not go over 160, it would be because of gearing, not power. Basically any car should have enough power to max out the gears, but most are limited. And limited for a reason. Why is it that everyone wants to go faster than 135? By that time you are barely accelerating and just being dangerous. It is one thing if you were doing over 135 in the 1/4, but doing that on the highway for any more than a couple seconds is just stupid imho.

thats about 138...
it takes no time to get to 120, but after that it would take mods to get past 140.
this car has seen 135+ atleast 3-4 times a week. no problems,
thank god for warranty
3-4 times a week???? I need to move to Oregon. I live in the bay area of California. There's some nice realistate out here but not enough where I could get away with doing that every other day of the week before the cops catch on. You got a death wish or somethin?? I get around 100 and I'm checking all of my mirrors.
