Default How fast?

Wat is the fastest speed you have ever been in your Accord?

I was in my dad's 98 Accord 2.0 ES in Europe at 140 mph.
In the US I have a friend who did his LX at 145 mph (4 cyl).

You should add "indicated" to those numbers.

So say it's 4-5mph, that will make about a 10mph difference at 130, showing 140. Not to mention discrepancies in PSI, tire wear, aftermarket wheels and tires (or even stock replacement tires on stock wheels). Two tires stampted the same size from different manufacturers will even show discrepancies. Add up all these variations over 100mph and things get a little out of wack.

Well, it's not my Accord (haven't pushed it much yet) but I couldn't resist posting the pic below when I saw this post.

Wasn't mine at the time, but it's mine now although a bit less HP so it wouldn't do the same now.

Note that this is actual, NOT indicated

wow, 219 for the firebird? that's hard to believe unless it has some serious tuning with bad-ass drag racing tires.
