i thought a 5th gen w/o a speed limiter is supposed to get up to 145ish due to gearing

but i've also seen wild stories of ppl hitting 160 and swearing to it

just remember the speedometer is not accurate the high up it goes

and yes, mine is limited to 118 (confirmed) until i can get a different p13

I've had my 92 S model up to 160 and yes I am one of the few that will swear by it. When I switched transmissions though I now have a top speed of around 127ish. (The 160 top speed was done beside a friend in a stock(suspension wise) c5 just to see how fast I could go))

hey was that with that crusty b0dy k1t on or not, that thing looks like it would make enough drag to slow a boeing 777 down....

I tried this once... Just to see..

I got up to 125 MPH and then it kinda just stopped, like the ECU didn't want to go any higher.. I think I got about 127 MPH before I left off since it wasn't going any faster anytime soon..

Didn't want to be doing 125 MPH for very long... Just trying to see what it would do..
This was on a Stock Si H23 & Stock Tranny. Everything stock.. With a 13X,XXX Miles on the Stockness..

Can't wait to feel the new VtAKeDnESs!

err, the base S has 140 hp, and your speedo only goes to 140, how the hell can you confirm 160 mph?

so what tranny did you have originally? what other mods would allow you to do this? the numbers just don't add up

stock wise we don't have the gearing to do it, power wise........you stock making 140 hp to the flywheel, we are a lil heavy and the drag on preludes ins't the greatest either

In my 2001 base:

130 mph and still pulling was what I got last time I tried it. Uphill.

All stock, but meticulously maintained, and with trunk gutted.
