at 120, you're at approximately 6000rpm, anything past that,
you're getting in the danger zone with a stock h23, ie.spun bearings, etc.
so find out at your own risk

well i wouldn't say magazines are always right, because they post incorrect data all the time, I wonder if the speed was actually clocked with a radar device, I am not sure of the inaccuracy of the stock speedometer and tach, but on my 93 vtec it will peg out the speedometer and keep going a little ways, although it could be way off

Honda says, blowjhob says, bobo says... I have personally hit 140 on the speedo on a 95 and 93 lude and I was still accelerating. PERSONAL EXPERIANCE, not something a magazine or honda said.

I've hit 120 in my h23, and know I could have kept going, but I ran out of bridge and hit the tunnel. 100+ in the tunnels is scary. and loud.

the h23 motor with h23 tranny wont let you go faster than 127 unless you are going downhill or somthing. Its gearing wont let you go faster

who cares what car and driver says they cant even drive they sa the new s2000 only runs 14.70's which is bs. my old h23 i have over 140 and climbing slowly but still gainin couldnt tell how fast i was going but it was over 140 on the dash so there is no real way to tell how fast unless you ask the state trooper how fast u were when u blew buy him

Bullshit. I got mine up to 135 when the motor was essentially stock.
