That would equate to about 111-115mph, buddy.. OOOH, dont race too many Honda Civic DX's now.
I took my SOHC S13 when it was auto to about 125-130. When I converted to 5-speed and did some work to the car, I beleive I hit 135-140.. but there was REALLY no power at that point, and it wouldnt be able to do it all the time. Plus, it took a quite a bit of time to take the car up to ANY speed over 125.. it creeps.
How do I know I hit those speeds? I have a 96-98 180SX gauge cluster in my car which has been converted to read up to 180MPH and calibrated to match. Its pretty accurate.
SR.. I would imagine would be able to do 140-150 as long as the car's aerodynamics are not facked with, and as long as the car has a stable suspension, tires, brakes.. just to be safe.
I dont advocate doing this on public roads, but at night there is a time and place for everything.. especially on long trips with long stretches of road. I dont LOOK to hit speeds like this, but when the car is operating well and I want to "play" I do it when safe.
