Very good info, i agree it should be stickied in the tire section,

on another note, a 1990 Corolls SR5 5Speed will reach 200kph without issue and still have 1000 rpms till the redline.

well, 6th gen dx....130 on a good day, with enough room....
You at a high elevation or something? My 6th gen DX tops out at 110-115. That was in 5th gear though, I've never tried leaving it in 4th.

And to the OP, I've never seen a list of top speeds for Civics anywhere.

well, i cant say ive ever done faster then 160km/h in a civic, lol, but to attest to that, my friend took his sti imprezza to the 140mph limit and i swear we were still going faster. BTW it didnt take very long to get there like a slower car would, so it wasnt to bad, it was like there and back.!

my tuner was telling me about the fastest car he'd been in during our last session. It was a mkIII Supra, single turbo, high boost app. Apparently it went 80 to 170mph like it was nothing.


....someday
