cant see it doing much more than the 155 limit and to be honest im not if there is anyone mental enough to try it...not in this country anyway!!!

[Lexx]

Sure someone will have the proper figure soon fo ryou.

[S1 HNK]

theres no way it would do those kind of speeds, theoritcal speeds are very different from what the car could achive. I bet it wouldn't even hit 160 mph

[Chris`I]

I think about 165MPH would be a reasonable to expect. Much higher and you need a lot more power for each MPH you gain. I've hit 140MPH before (private test track of course) and it felt like it had a lot more to give, but at those speeds you soon run out of power due to the wind resistance.

[S1 HNK]

and you have to appreciate the loss of accuracy in the speedo.

 

ive seen 160mph on the clock (civic type r) down hill (in my stupid days) and the gprs gave a reading of 146mph which was its top speed as stated by honda.

[Pingu2]

they will definately do well over 160.. something around 168 I seem to recall ...

 

(haven't hit the limiter in mine mind you - but I do know the speedo is 5mph out at @150 according to gps)

Look forward to seeing this

mine only needs to hit 88 mph, and then the flux capacitor does the rest

is the digital speedo accurate though? and that thing seemed to get there seriously quickly, was that standard???

[3FIDDYZ]

Digi speedo is a tad more accurate than the main clock... I get 3 different readings on mine. Main speedo is fastest, then the Digi and then the Kenwood Satnav...

 

I go by what the SatNav says!!

[M350ZB]

3 different types, we shall call is 3FIDDYZ's space mobile

 

Jokes, have noticed that sometimes the speedo and the digi reading are slightly out though !

[3FIDDYZ]

Will have 4 very soon!!!! If the chuffin part would turn up!

[xStric9x]

Take a look on you tube, there are plenty of standard stated 350's topping 160.

[M350ZB]

, look forward to one day seeing them
