Hi-

Just out of curiosity, what have you gotten up to on top speed? I don't own a Gen 3, but I drove one, and got it up to 140 on a downhill section of highway. I drive a Gen 2, and I know I can't do 140 (I wish). Thanks.

Did 130MPH up a slight grade on highway. Ran out of straight highway and coming up to other cars fast. Had to slow down. MPH was still climing. I have been told after my mods you should be able to reach 150MPH. I 'm not going to find that out though. Playing it safe.

I to have a 86Sports with cold air intake and a Greddy Extreme exhaust. THats all the mods worth doing to it. Find a 3rd Gen and use the 2nd Gen as a daily driver.

 

Hi,
You should probably do a search. There have been a few threads about the top speed subject, and they are always full of debates. It seems that noone has an end all answer. I've had mine to just over 170mph, and there was more room(I pussed out). However, I didn't have enough torque to break 150mph up a hill. I started pulling again when I reached the top.
Good luck.
Jim

You've got bigger ***** than I @170MPH!!

Whats your mods?

 

145 MPH on IH45 4 wide. Its as flat as it gets.

 

I've never really been scared of speed on the ground(when i'm driving). I hate planes though. Actually, I hate boats too. I don't know, i'm wierd. Anyway, it was amazing going that fast. I had the windows down, and the sun roof open(not the smartest thing). The turbulence inside the car was so great, that my Revo's flew out the sunroof!
It was worth it.

My power related mods at the time were:
Pettit intake
Down pipe
Racing Beat exhaust
EFI cpu (12lbs obf boost)

I'm going through withdrawl right now, as my turbos are gone.

I can't wait to get back in the saddle.

ummmm. 155 in an automatic , held it there for about 3-4 minutes, mainly because i was coming over an overpass on the interstate and spotted a cop on the other side runnin radar. Figured i was already caught doin ~140 might as well try to get away. I dont even think he bothered comin after me.

 

I've been up at 169 mph with stock FD

 

racing a 3zTT and a supraTT...3z from roll and supra from stop...won both race...

 

130 the first time. My wife said that was fun lets do it again so then i ran her up to 150 before I let off. I had only owned the car for two days when I did that. I was in Wyoming. On a rural road on one in sight for miles. Everything was completely stock. She felt extremely smooth at that speed. No floating at all. (i was very suprised)

 

Cool. You just proved a point to some friends of mine. They said that it would be impossible to hit those type of speeds on the stock ECU, because there is a limiter of some kind. I have never heard of the limiter, and now am remembering that I did my top speed without an upgraded ECU. They wouldn't believe me. Now there's another person saying the same thing.
they'll have to think a little now.

 

165 or so before I let off.

 

Only ever been to 120. It's kinda scary, 'cause I switch back and forth between the 7 and the daily driver... the 7 gets to 120 as fast as the DD gets to 60. I usually just look down after I think I've hit a good 0-60 run, and realize I'm crusing at 110+. It's just too easy sometimes...

 

stock fd shoudl be good for about 160 mph, even if your speedo says somethign over that its most likely not accurate in that area. the top speed depends on a lot fo factors, wind resistance, air temp, humidity, tire pressure, lip no lip, spoiler no spoiler, windows down or up, lights and so on...

 

I remember reading that Mazda had it topping out at 163 mph.

 

160 before I shat myself.

 

No speed limiter no US models

 

Just so everyone here knows, CyberBen3 from the forum just got pulled over and arrested for going 155mph in a 55mph zone.
I have had mine to 143mph in 4th before I shifted and started to slow down. I have no idea what Ben was trying but he is fucked now. Be careful when you run topend, have more people with you to watch for cops up ahead and from behind.

 

ok what about the R1 anyone know its top speed i just bought mine havent gotten use to it yet so not gonna try anytime soon

 

I did around 160 for a min or 2 on a long stait once. I would like to see what it will do now though as that was awhile back.

Laterz

 

that's so crazy i wouldn't even try it

 

155 mph on the 5 coming back from L.A. to S.F. on my tII, wouldnt want to do it again. Car gets kind of scary at 140.

 

omg that sounds like a blast... ill have to try once

 

93 R1, i like your avatar

140 is mine, stock
