Last night I managed to max out in my S2000. I had my hard top removed just to shove off some weight.. but didn't make a very big difference it just felt a bit faster. I got it to 159mph, and it felt it was still striving for a bit more road to get 160 or 160+mph. The thing is that it pulled nice from 0-152mph .. the extra 7mph was coming out very slow. But hey a 2.0 4cyl N/A car that maxes at 159mph! thats a big thumbs up to Honda

My acceleration is always done by revving @9K and dumping the clutch. I'll test my 1/4 and 0-60mph today.

 

Have you maxxed out your S2000 with the hardtop? Should get a better coefficient of drag with it.

Yup I tried both and guess what, same top speed! I really began thinking its because of the hot weather here or the poor octane gas that we have here. Yes I do know that all car gauges are off-gaurd .. some by alot and some just a bit. Did somebody say 160+mph!!?? what do you mean 165..6...8??mph

 

wesmaster is at 169mph!

 

i couldn't shake an '02 Maxima SE off my rear bumper.....yuck!

thats funny because i raced my friend's 02 maxima se (auto). only from 60 -120 mph though. i had a passenger and the maxima didnt.
i had it in third gear at 60 mph. told him to step on it. he got the initial jump, about half a car. i then, slowly kept passing him in a steady pace. i shut down about a car length. it was fun playing with 255 hp car.

i guess, i can expect the same performance from the altima 3.5

 

nHobbes,

169mph?? is his car stock or souped up?

 

don't you guys have FEAR? I would be scared to go above 130 in regular roads...I have to hand it to you that you guys are the men...

ouch.

 

according to radar, the speedo only reads 2mph more than the actual measured reading (at least on my car). having shorter wheels would increase this error as well
