    110 kph pa lang although mukang kaya pa. 3.5K rpm ata jan sa speed na yan.

    anyway, i some of dont mind me asking, ano fuel consumption niyo sa a/t?

    yung sa amin (93 esi a/t) ay 6km/liter lang pag paikot ikot lang dito. max 10km/liter pag highway.

    normal ba yan? mejo mahal na kasi gas.

    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.

    I guess ganun talaga mga automatic.

    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.
