92 civic VX B18c

A buddy of mine and I are debating this....
How fast would an S2000 go if it had enough power to hit the rev limiter in it's tallest gear?

LAS2K

what do you mean IF it has enough power....it does


155ish MPH

155ish MPH</TD></TR></TABLE> oh I'm sorry, I just figured(have no knowledge about the trans mission and final drive of the s2000, I just figured it had a 5th or 6th gear for gas milage like the stock tranny in my vx civic that would put it right around 180mph... I had no idea that the gear ratio's in the S2000 were that low... I didn't mean to offend anyone...

So in 5th(or is it 6th) gear at the rev limiter the s2000 goes 155ish mph?

Sean Juan

i think most hondas in the united states will just top out at whatever the engine/aerodynamics will let it. usually, since the gearing is so close, its never much. but he's right with the s2000. higher 150s depending on the conditions, along with the top being up.

LAS2K

haha dude i wasn't offended a bit...just letting you know that there is enough power. we do have 6 gears. gearing is a bit diff with ap1 and ap2.

and im confused your civic topped at 180?

ck123

there was a video of an s2k doing 177mph

LAS2K

stock limit is 155ish

ap2 speed is lower than ap1.

aww don't cry because my ap1&gt; your ap2


haha jk &lt;3&lt;-----definately not gay

The fastest it could go would be about 177 mph redlining 6th.

i hit 160ish racing a boosted teggy and wasnt even threw 5th gear and still had all of 6th

gomarlins3

Mine will top out at around 142.2 due to having 4.77's in the rear. But MAN I will get there quick!!

According to this: http://www.turnzero.com/techni...lator
an AP1 will top out at 165.4 MPH -weather conditions permitting of course.

rofl you sure you weren't looking at Kmph?

anything really above 100 isn't accurate on a speedo.

Would the car get anywhere near it, hell no.. You could however go 115 in 3rd gear, then shift into forth gear an slow down to about 95mph, because the engine didn't have enough power to maintian that speed with those ratio's...

Only if the gearing, traction, aerodynamic, power transit, friction is a 2+2

this is what we've been saying... but he was probably going downhill to hit 177 lol

wtf?? why?

OMG!! he's asking how fast the car could possibly go with stock gearing in 6th. but again...OMG!! they allready answered. Although, 177 isnt accurate. However, to answer your question once and for all, Mathematically (im a nerd....shut up) the AP1 will go 168.75 mph REDLINED (9k) IN 6TH. It has enough power to go 168.75 in 6th with a stock trans and diff, stock sized wheels, and brand new stock sized tires. This is a mathemtical approximation (should be accurate to between +/- 5mph) so its totally irrelevant to wind resistance, etc. This is why he was asking the jackstands question. To count out any variables and get just the raw number of the amount of measured forward wheel spin (later translated into forward speed) possible. (im a nerd)

Speeds will differ once you modify the wheel/tire sizes or do anything else to alter the gearing.

LAS2K

hey mr. know it all did you figure in friction between the tires and the ground and friction between car + air/wind speed factor? it could not possilby do plus 160mph without modifications. and if it was on jackstands you could no longer measure it in MPH because in reality HE IS NOT MOVING.

B serious

iTrader: (1)

well..i clearly stated that i did NOT factor in any kind of resistance or friction. I said that the wheels would spin at 168.75mph at 9k in 6th gear. You said yourself that the car has enough power to top out 6th gear...so thats what i was going on. I havent had the opportunity to top out 6th yet. Hence...if the car has enough power to top out 6th, it nessacarily has enough power to go 168.75mph regardless of what the speedo reads. If you radared a stock AP1 at the very complete absolute top of 6th, you would radar around 168.75 mph. I If you had bigger rims or tires, the speedo might read 169mph, but if you radar tested the speed, it would come out to faster if the rims/tires were larger diameter than stock, and it would come out slower if the rims/tires were a smaller diameter than stock. also said that on jackstands, the wheels would be spinning at 168.75 mph, obviously the car wouldnt actually be moving. I AM THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE!!

LAS2K

actually if you radar gunned it the actual mph would be way less as the speedo of any car/motorcycle is innacurate after 100mph.

B serious

what does the speedo reading have to do with a radar reading? The speedo could be broken and read 2mph when you were really going 100. The radar would still show around 100 mph. A radar gun doesnt reference the speedo....otherwise you could just unplug your speedo and cops would never get you for speeding. What im trying to say is very simple: REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE SPEEDO SAYS, a stock ap1 will move down the road at 168.75 mph or so in 6th gear at 9k RPM. There's no way around it. If the engine is solidly connected to the trans and driveline (no worn clutch allowing the engine to spin without allowing the wheels to spin) there's no other way it could happen.

Ok how about this, what are the 6th gear, gear ratio, tire size & final drive ratio of AP1 & AP2 s2000?
