Default Is this possible?

"GREENVILLE, N.Y. - State police have ticketed an upstate New York man for driving more than twice the 65-mph speed limit on an interstate highway. Troopers said a 21-year-old man was clocked doing 137 mph on Interstate 84 in Orange County on Tuesday. He was pulled over in the westbound lanes near Exit 2 in the town of Greenville, on the New Jersey border 60 miles northwest of New York City.
Troopers said the man was driving a 1993 Honda Civic.
The man was ticketed for speeding, reckless driving and having vehicle windows with illegal tint.
He's due to appear in Greenville Town Court on Feb. 25.
There was no telephone listing for the man."


That seems beyond the capabilities of that engine.

Not stock but those Honda engines have loads of potential.

Default Ha, I read that on the comcast.net home page - I was in disbelief. Sure the engines may be capable..

But all the old Honda's I've ridden in have been scary around 80mph in terms of handling.

More than possible. Our cars are artificially limited to about those speeds with the 180.

Default I've driven my cousin's CRX Si over 125 on a short stint. It still has room to go, but I

completed my mission. The car only had 115hp iirc. A 93 Civic is comparable and with some mods, should be able to hit those speeds.

Default We had an auto-x prepped CRX that would pull 135 pretty well.

Webers, cams, head, header, some aero. It was a fast box!

Default I owned a 1991 Acura Integra back in the day.... it was limited to 130 which I found out

rather soon after acquiring it.

The car was bone stock. 1.8L 16V engine, same as Civic SI of the same era if I'm not mistaken.

He probably clipped the springs to make it handle like a real racing car
