just yesterday I found out that the fuel cut for my ctr is 125. I hit vtec in 5th and was around 7300 rpms and was pulling well when the fuel cut out, need to get that fixed!!!!
5th gear at 7300 is only 125???

thats some what true.. if you change the rims/tires the speedo is off.. speedo is a good guesstimate, but to be really sure, you need a laser or a radar.. but most of the time oem speedos are pretty good..

155 in a 4 door Civic DX? You know, 125 is pretty f*ckin' fast. You sure you did 155?

I'm going to be bold and say that no stock honda (Barring perhaps the NSX) can do 150 mph. In any country. That's REALLY f*ckin fast. I mean 150 mph is 246 KM/H.

ya know.... i was thinking..... most in ground dyno's have speedo's.... why not take it to one and put your car on and tell them to go as fast as it will go... much safer B)

safer but not as nearly as accurate. My car is geared to like 150 or something like that but I can only reach 130 on the highway. This is not because the engine is incapible of going 150, it is because the areodynamics/drag of the car limits the speed. It's kinda like a terminal velocity of an object, true, in a vacume, anything could just keep on going faster and faster in free fall but there is a point in the real world that makes humans "top out" at 160-200 when jumping out of an airplane. When your on a dyno, it's very difficult to take that into account. Hell, you could top out your car by lifting the front end up, put it in fifth, then floor it. You'll hit top speed faster then most cars get upto 30mph.
