technically yes, but you would have to be the biggest fuking moron on the planet to try it. On second thought, why don't you try it and see what happens.

I had my 01 SS Camaro up to 140mph and my 92 accord up to 113, which isn't all that impressive after doing 140. My friend had his 90 accord up to 120.

well it was 135 mph SPEEDO indicated, but still thats atleast 125 mph if i used a speed gun or something. 94-95 ex's didn't come with a speed limiter, atleast the ones that were made in OHIO.
