2nd - 60mph 8300 rpms

most likely not. 6th doesnt have that kind of torque

 

you have hondata or sumthin? stock doesn't go to 8500. seems a little different though i can hit over 60 in second and i know i have had it over 140 in 5th. i dont know though.

 

I dont have hondata, but it does went to 8500 rpms in 4th and 5th gear, just tested it yesterday.

 

stock tach is off, stock will not go that high. mine reads 8300 before rev limit, but i know its not right because on the dyno it only hits 8k

 

The 05 has a higher rev limiter.

 

Man, I wish I had miles of my own personal racetrack where I could top out my cars safely, away from the public where I could potentially kill people. That would be sweet.

 

just curious, hows the ride in an -s at 140mph? does it feel twitchy and crap?

 

I doubt it...i've had my gsr up to 150+ and it still feels pretty stable at that speed...

 

thats cool, my damn civic sure as hell doesnt feel stable at anything over 120.

Same with the RSX Type-S

 

so the -s isnt stable while the older gs-r's are? that doesnt make sense.

 

Damn, I hope you guys are testing these cars out on empty street. One mess up and you can kiss your *** goodbye.

If you guys are testing these speeds on stock type S tires I hope you pray before you do this. Type S stock tires are the worse tires ever made and should have never been put on the car or rather made for that instance.

As for the S, it does handle very well once you get a decent set of tires on it, the stocks seem to provide almost no traction and it will feel unstable at those speeds.

I have the Tein Flex with JDM ITR rims and the car handles like a dream, so once you get into suspension on the car you will a difference like night and day.

 

so your saying that changing the tires will somehow make the car more stable at high speeds? hows that?

 

The speed rating on the stock tires = . also it has a mileage bias not a performance bias.

I'm running bridgestone potenze re730's and they ahve a 149+ mph rating, basically meaning they can handle any speed, i've seen 152 and its pretty damn stable...
