I have been told by many that most JDM motors top out at 120, my friends JDM b16 motor does, and I have heard of SR20s that do, I was under the impression that governmental regulations in Japan limited everything to 120, aka 200kmph?

PRELUDES HAVE NO SPEED LIMITERS!!!

Sounds like a good way to kill yourself, and the passangers that are with you. Use your head, You dont need to go that fast. Whats going to happen when your going 140 and your tire decides to blowout, or a deer runs out in front of your car. Your pretty much DEAD
Sorry for preaching, but its the truth.

you've got a VERY VERY good point on that one. the only reason i did it was b/c i had just got the car and i was extremely curious how fast it would go. i have never done it since, but i can't say i won't do it again.

i think we all realize the dangers, but i guess it was a good idea for someone to point them out

exactly what I thought about after I took the love of my life for that wild ride. If you're going to do something that dangerous do it by yourslef and don't endanger others.

97 prelude SH with bull frog cams, dc header, gready exhaust, knoi shocks and eibach sport line springs. With three bros inside and the help of a long down hill before the flat straight, I hit 148 mph with three whitnesses. I will ever forget passing a geo metro at 140+ at 3 in the morning. They must have been surprised!
