    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.

    120kph along NLEX, FD Civic 2007. Haven't tried beyond that but the 5 speed automatic of the FD Civic might help increase its top speed.

    Sirs, I tried flooring the gas pedal yesterday, with a friend on the passenger side and the aircon on, I was hoping for the gears to downshift but instead, my engine labored but didn't downshift. Result: parang di ko tinodo apak ang accelerator. What could be the problem? This isn't the case naman pag patay ang aircon. Just last saturday nagpa-tune up ako, change oil, change ATF, replace timing belt and water pump, tuppet adjustment, all care of Forcedspeed. Maybe palitin na ang transmission? Can anyone point me to a really good a/t specialist who can diagnose for me so I can decide on the best course of action? Sorry kung OT, pero I wanted to know kse kung ano talaga top speed ko...
