be careful

 

A Corvette that has no pull over 80 mph? Huh? Most Hondas will get up with no problems. Do they pull you in to your seat? Of course not. But in fifth gear most Hondas will pull up to top speed reasonably easy for a four cylinder. Now automatics may be another story, but the new Accord uses a five speed auto. So I would not contest Fast Draw one bit. Note the tach in the different pictures. Ya know, after thinking about it, if your friend's Vette has the automatic, I can see the lack of pull over 110. GM four speed autos have such a wide overdrive ratio that it's impossible to get anything moving when it's in fourth with no room for kickdown to third.

 

there's no cutoff on the v6's. the picture was taken on the I-5 South coming down from norcal in my dad's stock AV6 sedan and 3 passengers that agreed. the other time i went faster in mine but i didn't have a camera accessible...that and i missed my offramp (magic mountain)

hehehehe. your Sony U20 is called "the voyeur cam" by my buddies. that thing is sooooo damn small. i just got a new sony camera and i tend to carry my new belongings around. this morning some guy hit me and i took pics of the accident right away. hehehehee. cameras are awesome.

now i have to deal with fixing the rear quarter panel. good thing no serious damage, but it totals out to 1450 for the quote. i woulda kicked his ass if he hit the cf hood that i just spent hours on the other day drilling and installing though. damn parking lot accidents. got t-bone-style backed into by a doctor driving a benz. hahaa. just my luck.

in the words of my dad "this shit only happens to you"

 

Look at my sig....

btw i've been to 145 mph

 

Go to a track if you wanna drive like a fool

 

No problem. Just build one near Penn State, in State College.

Cuase there is none!

 

how does an av6 hit 6250 rpm at 123 mph? third gear doesn't go that high and fourth goes to about 150 at redline. actually, you probably may be going slightly uphill in fourth huh?

and i've gone over 150, but in what car?

btw, there aren't too many tracks, and especially none that you can get up to speed on. yes, the streets aren't somewhere that we should race on, but its at our own discretion. take a close look at my picture and tell me besides myself and my passenger(s), who the hell am i going to hit or who will be hurt? the guy ahead of me by 1/2 mile? the guy behind me by 4 miles?

 

Third ends at like 112 I believe and 4th is at 4500 or so at 135...wtf?

 

So whats the MAX speed before it wont go no faster a 2003 accord SD v6 will go? Just wondering... I dont wana find out myself but would like to know still...

I mean how fast before it hits it cut off point or just wont go no more?

 

I thought the 6th gens were speed limited to 137?

And granted, the Accord speedos have admittedly been off by as much as 10%.............you can be goin 150 on the speedo but still possibly be doing 135...........I wouldnt say you can do 140+ because the speedo says so.

My 89 Beretta GT was truly not limited: no engine cutout, fuel cutout, or speed limiter. Hit at least 130 in it (speedo ended at 120..........I was at the "l" in "Only" where it says "Unleaded fuel only" underneath the speedo). Oddly enough, the car felt more stable over 100 than it did at 65

Maybe the front end was lifting off the ground.
