There has been some speculation that that video is in

KMPH and redlining 4th or 5th

until i'm IN the car or get a CLEAR video showing MPH

i call bs

ZygSpeed · 03-16-2006, 05:35 AM

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.

Slow EJ8 · 03-16-2006, 08:03 AM

I cant see the video here at work, what is the speed they are claiming in this video?

haby red fg2 · 03-16-2006, 08:20 AM

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.

BeerMan · 03-16-2006, 10:03 AM

according to the gti v. si v. mini cooper s article in road and track the si's top speed is electronically limited to 129 and will reach it in 5th gear

Jake1220 · 03-16-2006, 11:06 AM

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.

BeerMan · 03-16-2006, 11:46 AM

settle down Jake, I posted that last bit of information just for everyone's edification, I didn't even watch the video

Caveman74 · 03-16-2006, 01:21 PM

Top speed is 147. Thats what is electronically controlled too. That dudes VID is on the autobahn its legit.

Oh sorry I wasn't directly responding to you. Or to anyone else really, just throwing it out there

touchmyHONDA · 03-16-2006, 03:43 PM

weaksause, looks like it hard a real hard time getting to that 141

spoonlongblock · 03-16-2006, 07:37 PM

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'm not even a Hebrew... HAHAHA

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?

Hey cool guy, there is a reason the last reply was 3.5 years old. Stop bumping old dead threads.

Deksinjo · 09-20-2009, 02:05 PM

So why not is lock ?! Who is moderators ?

builthatch · 09-20-2009, 03:07 PM

DEKSINJO, STOP BUMPING EVERY THREAD ABOUT THE TOP SPEED OF THE SI

get a grip.

one thread going about this silly topic is enough.

FijiBlueFG2 · 09-20-2009, 03:31 PM

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?
