i have a sohc 93 stealth and b4 i fixed the tranny (nut stripped on the end of the shaft) i got some where between 135 and 140 in fourth gear, thats what my speedo said any ways, i wasnt really watching it to closly... that was on a 4-5 mile strech of road, and i was going 60-70 when i hit it... it hit 120 easy but anything above 120 took alot of work, my car also has 150k miles... however im hesitent to post, sence people lately love to flame me... but if you dont belive it stop over, im in upstate ny we can go for a ride...'

i have sence done 130 in 5th gear, and used a gps(from what i have found there isnt much difference from 4th to 5th gear... im not sure how transmission works, but from what ive noted theres about 500rpm difference between 4th and 5th... at the same speed)... alot of vehicles will do well over 100 on long streaches, my jeep wrangler shuts of at 105-110 im not sure which... wana talk about a gov. that will scare you... i was surprised the air bags didnt go off-
as from what ive said b4, ive done 140 in the car, maybe it was after i had 5th i dont remember.... ive had alot of cars- you prolly know more than me so i wont argue- (also this is on over a 5 mile stretch...)
another note-
86-honda prelude- over 140mph
