I was somewhat curious about this myself. N/A I have gotten to about 118, and then I just flat out can't get anymore speed like the 100hp just can't fight the wind any harder....I would never go that fast these days though...don't trust my shocks, brakes, tires, or anything else as much as i did when i was fearless and young.

i think i was at 130 before i let off, and senates does sound correct.

i never did hit spped nor rev limiter, but i was coming up on traffic and i figured it was the smarter thing to do...

transmissions gearing is really short in our car. getting a new gearset is very expensive.. lol, think its like.. 1200$ for hondas.. and im sure it would be worse for us since it would all be custom.


This might sound stupid.. I donno.. haddent really thought it through..
But since people have been swappin the 4g64/63 motors.. and using out bellhosing and there trans.. couldnt we do that on our 4g94 also?

ihavent sat down and actually looked at all the gearing differences between eclipse/galants and whatever else that has a trans that might work.. auto or manual both should be geared a little longer.

swap trans, but stick to our bellhosing, and swap axles... couple transmissions out there that would bolt right up (if im not mistaken) all have much longer gearsets then ours.. would definately increase our top speed with a longer gears
