Reported to be around 150mph. My "friend" didn't quite get there but he did provide these videos on a recent trip thru Iowa. Wanna see what near 140mph looks like? For the record in case LEO is reading, "my friend" is not me.

that is some ballz shiznit....holding a camera driving 130mph+...

it's like our car hits a brick wall at around 110mph-ish.

 

I can't view them!!!!

 

WTF he downshift to 3rd at 95-100 MPH!!! rpm jumped like to redline... the number 3 was flashing indicating that the tranny was refusing to downshift... but it did downshift, HOW is possible?

 

Wow, next time have somebody hold the camera for you. It's dangerous, man.

 

vids not workin for me

 

I cannot believe you held the camera while doing 140mph, and was able to pan back and forth between the road and the dash. You need an CAI, the sound of that VTEC opening up makes the rush even sweeter.

 

I've hit 135 w/o issue. I believe i had headers/cai/exhaust at that point. I never maxed it out.

 

Yo should also loose some of that fuel

 

cool

 

Looks like fun, I want to do it.

 

totally, I've had mine up to 145, but I took ages to get there... Felt like it would have been quicker to open the door and Fred Flinstone it to 145. Kinda boring in our cars. Now 160 in my buddys Vette! Now were talking!

So who wants to wager Honda added (set the gears so tall) 4-5th gears to get 30mpg!

 

*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*

 

Soooo, Your schizophrenic now heh, Leo?

 

mc222, hehe, Leo is my friend Law Enforcement Officer.

Not sure about the brick wall at 110 but several times he was "holding" while getting his gear together and observing the road ahead...so he wasn't always under full acceleration. Me personally I would not drive that fast with someone else in the car, so I would have to do the videowork myself. The CL is surprising steady at ultra high speeds.

I know that area in Iowa, right at the Missouri state line. It takes several runs to get down that 1 mile or so stretch at high speeds...about 6 runs. First to check for cops, come back turn around, and then waiting on the ramp for traffic to clear (I would never pass another car at those speeds). Takes about 1 hour to do 3 good runs/roundtrips.

 

i've done 130mph in arizona in 5th gear...

 

 

astroboy i have had mine exactly the same... feels like that car can go over the marked 160 if you have the open space to do it...

 

defintely, my TL-S hits the limiter VERY hard...I would say another 10 or 15MPH is possible.

 

i wish i could see this shit

 

that's kind of true, it definitely drops out of the sweet spot in the powerband at about 110mph on the 3-4 shift but if you have the road at about 120-125mph in 4th it's back over 5k & pulling strong in VTEC land

I'm sure headers really help in the 110mph+ zone

 

Yes it seems the CL has plenty more to go.
