DX Top Speed

[Jeff1119]

just a simple question but i was just wondering what's the top speed of a stock dx hatchback?

 

[Bangin' HB]

cant confirm, but i was told it is about 120mph or 193kph since you are canadian, but not sure if honda changes the speeds for the kph cars(usdm stop at a nice rounded number, maybe yours will be 190 to stay even, not sure).but, ive only been to 115 before i backed off, so i havent touched the govorner yet.

my 91 dx tops out at 52mph, that is so hella fast, not. it will be 128mph when i drop in the b18c!

should be faster than 128 if you throw a GSR engine in..my 2000 ex with stock motor has been 123 at the top end of 4th

no, the gsr tranny has shorter gear ratios and only tops out at 128. the ls tranny tops out at around 180 if i remember correctly

220, damn. my sir cluster only shows 190kph. dont know why they are different, but a company will always have the speedos higher to be optimistic. rather have it more than you can do then not enough and have the needle is space.

hey look you said hella and you arnt from nor cal... the cancer spreads hahaha

My Bro girl's 94 4door GSR(Stock B18C1) hit 140mph coming from Florida back to va My bro's EG with JDM B18C & B18C5 Tranny run only 120mph cause JDM ECU cuts back fuel to limit speed & it does this in 4th so I would assume I may top out at aroud 150-155mph. Pretty fast for a Honda hard for me to believe.

hey i just have a question.. is it bad to take the car out of gear without the clutch in.. because i was driving one day and i forgot to push the clutch in when i was switching gear.. lol luckily i noticed it before i put it in 3rd.. anyway was just wondering

lol can u make it go just a little more faster.. lol j/k

 

[ben]

it's not great for it. but I'll just say you can get away with it but if you do it all the time it might start wearing out the gears.

 

[9civic7]

it saves you clutch just wears out your gears more. there is an art to clutchless shifting. i am starting to get pretty good at it. you just gotta let off the gas like you are going to shift and smothly put it into the next gear. i can't do it on 1-2 shift and it is difficult and can't do it sometime on the 4-5 shift.

my old car, 99 dx hatch quit at 124
