What's your Top Speed [Merged]

[Jun aka Pekto]

350z 140mph on highway 95. no cops just the highway and desert

Say, are you from Nevada too?

OT sorry po.

Niky, yung SIR 210kph na run ninyo, how many passengers? kasi nung kami dalawa lang. Already on the fifth gear *190KPH pero la pa sa redline. Car wont go any faster tho and the open road's about to end hehe.

And yes, exactly how the SIR behaves, it's just like the VTi at speeds below 120KPH. It even feels like the 1.6 lynx can outrun it * 60 - 100KPH normal driving. BUT when that engine changes it's voice!!! WOW hehe. Daayyym, I love that car.

If your saying that RS feels a lot more robust at lows and mids than the SIR, then I've got to try this RS one of these days = ). I opt for cars with more emphasis on the low RPM torque simply because it drives better int he real world. SIRs simply just need a lot more open road - but I'm OK with that, or maybe until I've tried the RS hahah.

How's the RS compared to the 92 Galant GTi?

[niky]

My cuz reports 200+ on the Skyway, 1 passenger. When we hit 210 (210 on his speedo, 207 on mine), we were both flying solo.

Top speed runs are heavily dependent on weather and temperature. The colder, the lower the top speed, the higher the engine power. The warmer, the higher the top speed, the lower the engine power. There's a happy medium there somewhere.

I've never driven the 92 Galant... my experience with old 2.0s is limited to the Maxima (CA20, not the current V6), 626 and an SR20 powered Sentra :twisted: The RS's 2.0 has shorter gears than the 626 (whose engine is nearly identical to the RS's... just 10hp down) and feels more athletic up top, but not as torquey at the bottom. Nissan's SR20 has better high up performance, and the GTi's engine also supposedly breathes better up top. While the RS's intake has been revised to cure the FSDE's high-rpm breathlessness, it still hasn't eliminated it.

Oh, BTW:

Top Speed:
Mazda 626 - 200 km/h + (not maxed out... very long 5th gear)
SR20 Sentra - 190 km/h (??? ECU limited... auto transmission... bwisit!!!)
Nissan Maxima 90' - 200 km/h +

Here's a good article from motioncars.com comparing the two... very accurate too, especially with regards to the RS's faults. Although Ang's gripe about ergonomics on the RS merely reflect his well-known Mitsubishi bias...

Still, good reading. Except that the RS has been proven to hit 0-100 in 8.2 - 8.3 (Car&Driver... plus some local "testing") as opposed to the 8.7 as quoted by some websites.

220kph 7g galantSS,.. me only * star tollway going home,.. the only setback is, the bad uneven contour of the road,.. nakakatakot lang talaga, parang paliku-liko,.. but the road is almost MINE at that time, magtatanghali palang, halos walang dumadaan,.. SARAAAAP!!! And nagulat din ako na ang rating ng gulong ko pala is only * 210kph,.. luma pa mga gulong ko (15's),. buti hindi sumabog!!

lang langin daw ang 200kph?! ..kaya pa ng 220-230kph yan bro,.. 5-speed auto nman di ba,.. kaso bka hindi mo na mahawakan yung manibela sa nerbyos at that speed,. hehe. btw, like that 2.0L Civic!

[valskie01]

140kph * 4000rpm * nlex, lasted only for 5 seconds din balik uli sa 100kph mahirap na 3 pa naman sakay ko. i just tried kung mabilis itong nissan sentra gx(1.3 engine).

[EPQN]

180kph, startolway in calabazon.... try lang di ko na uulitin! My ride, Ford lynx.
