the easiest way to increase top speed in my experience is to drive the car down a mountain :rofl01:
but seriously - i hit 115 mph (185 kmh) in my old Civic going down the I-5 mountain in California (the infamous "Grapevine").
mechanical ways to increase top speed? yes, a turbo or other ways to increase peak HP will help, but you may also want to experiment with taller gear ratios.
There was a time when my brother left his 1996 VTI A/T with me for a few weeks. I drove it a couple of times sa NLEX up to Mariveles, Bataan. Although my 99 LX M/T is 3 years younger, I can really feel a big difference between acceleration, fuel consumption, and top speed.
update ko lang mga sir about our matic cars... pede pala siyang pabilisin... i tried using the d3 gear, and ayun ang bilis umabot ng 100km/h... para din siyang manual umarangkada.. hehehe.... i got it up to 150km/h shifting late to d4.
ako 140 2000 Civic along katipunan one after noon ganda ng tunog naka KNN kasi pero sandali lang ang 140 ko at 1 time ko lang ginawa dangerous sa NLEX di puede baka mahuli at ikamatay ko
had a customer take his matic past 220kph na when it was turboed. 120 is way too low. either something is wrong with the engine or you are not pushing it.
