That's not bad, though they could have been going a bit down hill or had a tail wind.
I saw somewhere that the Si si good for something like 130, in 5th (because apparently it can't do it in that long 6th gear).

Which is why I'm seriously looking into the I/H/E or a turbo for it.

thanks, I have seen a vid of the 05 DC5 Type-S doing about 155mph (idiotic IMO) but i guess that doesnt mean much as the 6th gear is a bit different. I will watch the video tonight before i comment more.

Who cares. If it puts it in to perspective at all I reached 140 in my auto LS. It took a LONG time and a LONG highway stretch but that was my top speed.

I saw a vid on TOV or fgcoupe.com or one of the new si websites that had the car on a dyno doing a top speed run and hitting 157 mph before getting cut off

Give it some time, some impressionable high school kids will start to believe that they are on the same level before too long. haha

By the way, it says the video was corrupted and it no longer works.

I put it up as my avatar because I saw that some of our beloved members were somewhat anti-Semetic in the General Discussion Forum.

Anyways, back on topic - if the speed governor were eliminated, and if the car had enough power to pull itself, does anyone know what the top speed of this thing would be in 6th gear?

It can go faster in terms of MPH, than power it has in terms of lb/fts .

How many muscle cars can make that same claim?
