dx speedometer???
in my 94 dx, when i go for a top speed run, i top out at 121 it says on the speedometer, now i do have 15 inch wheels with 195/50/15s so i wanted to know if the speedo was off. i did race my friend with a berretta, bone stock and when he was at 115 i was at 110. all the top speeds i have researched and people i have talked to say that the top speed is around 110. so is mine that far off???

I'm sure it's off. I went from the stock 185/65/14" tires to 195/55/15's and now it is off by 5mph at most speeds. At higher speeds it's even more off.

118-121 mph depending on how far off the speedo is. The speedlimiter is at 116 mph.
By changing to a Si/EX gearbox and ECU (even with CEL's) 128 mph is possible in 4th gear, but that was 3 years ago!
