my wifey has a fg1 and alls I can say is that thing is a F'ing turd! It cant get out of its own way. There is no way that you ppl are going over 120 in a stock non si.

Oh, come on. My 97 ex bounces off the 118 mph governor pretty easily, and all I've got are I/H/E. Even my mom's old Tempo was able to reach 120, and that only had 98 hp. Of course that was down a hill, with a tail wind.

my 96 civic ex with some heavyass 17's would hit the governor, which was ~123. i don't see why an fg1 wouldn't be able to hit 120.

Alright, exploring the top speed of your car on public roads and uncontrolled conditions is not only dangerous it is stupid.
