TW1112, sweet avitar.... Anyhow, can't remember my top, I'm not much of a speeder.... I'm pretty "go with the flow" kinda guy.... I generally don't do anything that I wouldn't do with my fiancee in the car. Sometimes a little hard acceleration, but no top speed testing for me....

I can't say I don't have the road, but usually when I'm travelling it's rush hour, so rarely can I open it up. The fastest I've ever gone is probably 100-110mph. Somewhere in that range.....

In the CL, only about 100. Never really had the open road to do anything more, plus i don't want to risk another speeding ticket.
In my parents old '94 Mazda protege, I hit 111 when I was 16. I would have gotten faster, but a stop sign w/ a busy intersection came up faster than i thought.

I hit 130+ going down a hill on US 23 in Michigan. It was cool weaving in and out of all those camaro and mustangs. Damned Mullets never knew what hit 'em. Got off at the next exit and watched as the state trooper drove right underneath me as I was on the overpass. What a great country......

Awh man, the fastest I ever went was about 127 but that was in my old 84 Dodge Omni (don't ask). Now that I drive the CL, I let it go sometimes, but never past 110.

Had my needle little over 120. I think it's the last time it was there. The car become not too stable as far as stearing even though I have new High perfomance YOKOHAMA tires. Anything coould happen at that speed.

My top is 120. I don't try to push it past that. It's not as stable at that speed as my old Integra though. I'm sure I can bring it past 120 though...

What kind of turn signal bulbs did you use in your clears. I just tried to put in the ones I ordered and they dont fit. It looks like the ones I need just push in. WTF?

I have hit 127 during a trip though northern vermont. I was consistently above 110 for the north stretch of Interstate 89 when someone in a Volvo 850 (non-turbo) with Quebec plates blew by me at about 150. I made it from Stamford, CT to Burlington, VT in under 4 hours with a pull over by Mass State police at 87 mph - he let me go without a ticket - it was afterall 6:45 AM on December 26th.

120+, but only because I haven't pushed it.

I hit 133 with my old '95 Integra LS!

We have a local raceway (Ohio Valley Speedway) where we can run a few laps, but I haven't been out there yet.

ya big shot if you think you're tough shit in your cl-s i gotta say that i topped your 140. my car was completely gutted one night and i was looking for a race. i was comming back from oakland kuz wasn't shit poppin out there. i came out of the tunnel and i was already at 115. this was the perfect chance to do a high speed test.i turned up the music and mashed the gas pedal. keep in mind that i have the smalles CL engine and i beat you all with NO MODS AT ALL. i topped out at 144 mph down hill. when i had to stop, my brakes locked up like a motherfucker and i almost crashed. it was crazy but fun.
