I just got a 2005 si and am wondering what the top speed is, please let me know. I would do it my self but i want to get some more miles on it.

 

i got my dc5 (base) up to 125 stock but then I had to slow down cause there was a car. My guess would be 130ish... its scary (i didnt have coilovers then) I was bouncin everywhere lol. I could probably do it again and hit 135ish i bet as I have a bit more mods now.

 

thanx

 

yeah i would guess around 130. anything over 100 is scary in that thing but i installed the d3 double x brace and it fixed that problem right up.

 

the fastest I've gone is 120ish, after that it takes time to go faster... but I think you can top it out between 125-130.

 

Just be careful bro. I have been in some bad accidents before.

 

yeah, that was just one time thing tho.. was really scary too... I'm not trying that anymore, pretty much right now I just go speed limit or below... I can't afford either an accident or a ticket... Thanks 4 that advice tho.

 

133 @ 7000

 

that's a real case of misdemeanor in CA. never tried it. if you really, really want to do it, try it during a sunday @ 2-3 AM. i do not encourage this.

 

darwin is watching.

 

Even on a track with lots of room like Lowes, I have never seen a stock EP3 USDM go over 120.

I'll hazard, therefore, that the <u>effective</u> top speed is 120. If you need more space than Lowes to get to your top speed, there's really no point in talking about it.

 

270kmh about 162mph on the speedo

And not to forget: The car sees that speed very often

 

my stock si hits 133 mph.an hope to get even faster.

 

Not without gearing change your not getting much faster.

 

well, before i had my turbo, and i was running just cold air intake, full catback stainless exhaust, and race header, i hit 140. then the limiter kicked in. i was even going uphill at a really slight incline. that was fun!

 

it was 3am, empty freeway.
back then, i had: progress coilovers (slammed to about 3"), f/r strutbars, rear lower tie bar, 22mm rear sway, -1.5 alignment on all four, 205-50-15s, i/rh/e

i took it all the way to 141mph for about a mile.
