Default how fast can it go.....

I was wondering what the top speed of a 96 civic EX manual tranny can go.. I toped out the speedometer and the tach went up some more I was just wondering if anyone has ever clocked on in 5th gear while redlined...

Are you dropping it off a cliff, or a bridge?

Seriously though, I believe the speed governor is set at 120.

GPS says 107mph. The puny SOHC would not push air anymore.
