fastest speed you drove your tsx?

[Ray]

I went 105mph a few months back on a huge strip upstate that has no cars after dark. :cool:

[ChinchillaX]

I did 113mph on an interstate last Fall.

[larchmont]

105 is about my high also. I would have loved to take it higher, but...... (fill in the blank, anything you think of will be accurate).

[tony4311]

about 115. Anyone know what 5th tops out at?

[Joker]

Can't say that I have broken into the triple digits yet.
Joker - who has bounced her off the rev limiter a few times though :D

[ChinchillaX]

I am planning on heading to Springfield tomorrow, want me to see fast my TSX will go on the highway, and see which 3 figure digits I can reach lol.:D

Will it be record breaking? :donno:

[TSX 'R' US]

I've sailed into the triple digits once...heading to the dealership for my first oil change :D

[Diesel]

I accidentally get to 75. I will try not to again before 1000 miles

[TSX Cman]

ive gotten 220 km/h. radar detector drivin thru the BC mountains.
dont know m/h

[TSX 'R' US]

136.70166 MPH :D

[Noel]

6MT - 4th Redline @ 200 KM/H

[SAZABI]

wow, nice guys... my highest was 180km/h ~ 111.8468 mph

200 ~ 124.274238 mph

220 ~ 136.70166 mph

[johnej]

I have yet to see the upper side of 80....

[TSX Cman]

noel i dont understand what your saying
that the papers tell your tsx redlines in fourth at 200?
that is far from possible.
from personal experience, when i was gassing my car for full speed, redlining every gear, at 5th gear i was going 190km/h at 5900 revs. it would not accelerate any more in 5th, i was confused. so i upshifted to 6th and gained to 220, from there on it was a gain of 1 km/h every 10 seconds or so, so i couldnt get it too high, it was taking too long.
the whole trip was with one heavy foot.

[Noel]

That wasn't a paper measurement, I do have an Injen CAI as well. Your tyre pressures are also important if you're constantly doing high speeds.

[TSX Cman]

ummm try it again
i can redline in fourth all over the city. and im sure not goin that fast
your 4th gear goes higher than my 5th?
we own the same car?

[Noel]

Modifications do change how speeds are obtained. There are other variables of concern ala - Vehicle weight, road conditions, weather, temperature, engine oil type, spark plugs, fuel, modifications, etc.

It's no longer possible for me to replicate the same results. My speeds have now changed because I've got even more modifications than before. While I've yet to tested the differences. I have no doubt it'll be much quicker than before.

[Thorn2004]

So far I have only had my Euro up to 150 kph, already got a speeding fine this month, not gonna push for another one yet :D I have got her up to 150 k's from 0 a couple of times, damn the Euro accelerates fast when you put the foot down, seriously, going uphill she still accelerated past traffic through the overtaking lane and by the time I hit the top of the hill I was going 150 ! Oh my Euro just passed 4000k's this weekend :)

[HondaMan]

I think it was 105-110 MPH. :)

[TSX Cman]

i have the injen CAI in my car too

[TSX 'R' US]

i have the injen CAI in my car too
Noel drives a Euro Accord ;)

[Andynolife]

227km/h with TSX
and 235km/h with my G35 sedan ~

[robert_tg]

I hit 110

[briny319]

125mph On I81 in virginia.

[Triz]

124 on 95 south, kept a constant 110-100 most of the way
:mardi:

[pocketkiller]

90 mph

[robert_tg]

124 on 95 south, kept a constant 110-100 most of the way
:mardi:
wow, you got a radar or something ?

[TSXinity]

well got up to 130 mph at 3 am at nite on da interstate....was scared a deer mite jump out......when i test drove the RSX-s, i asked them i want to test drive it alone..... :rolleyes: hehehe...dawg that shit out....drove it up to around 148 mph? or maybe 150.....then some foo got in front of me...so i had to slam that brake down as hard as I could......brought the car back and i smelled that clutch burning....MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA ....i dunno if i can do that to my TSX.

[APOGEE]

I've only had the opportunity to go about 90 max so far. Few chances to be out alone on a free stretch of hwy.

[Triz]

having the escort 8500 also much helps in this process....

[Type-S Swiss]

hit 225 km/h = 140 mph on the german autobahn some months ago.

was great but you need to have perfect driving conditions to do this, the car can go higher in 5th gear but I did not have the driving conditions to do that.

my car is Euro Accord Type S - 2.4 6MT stock.

[godofwine]

hit right around 119 without much effort at all. suspension does not behave all that well at high speeds. certainly don't recommend trying it anywhere with traffic or turns.

6MT stock... oh, with the spoiler(probably creates even more drag)

[smgfan]

160 mph

[PWP_6MT]

160 mph

You're joking, right?!

If so, then wow! I never knew our TSX are THAT fast! :rollsmile

[larchmont]

Must have been downhill.

Straight downhill, like 90 degrees.

[Type-S Swiss]

the speedometer goes up to 260 km/h which is 160mhp - I doubt that the real speed was 160 as the car is rated for 150mph.

[larchmont]

I'm pretty sure the maximum is a bit less than that, like in the 140's.

Unless you're going straight downhill. :rolleyes:

P.S. Please let's not test it out.......

[j.tear1080]

90-95 mph, i dont really feel like getting arrested quite yet...

[smgfan]

160 mph
I was not going downhill...you'll guys will find out soon. It's not a trick question.

[PWP_6MT]

I was not going downhill...you'll guys will find out soon. It's not a trick question.

I never even knew that it could possibly be a question.

BTW, my TSX's odometer reads 240 km/h MAX. Not 260... :donno:

[Type-S Swiss]

mine is a euro accord - could be why it is up to 260km/h. anyhow, this car is NOT MADE to drive at these speed in its stock version - way to light in my opinion.

I drove it fast and legally on the German Autobahn...not where the speed limits is in effect.

[smgfan]

Acura will be releasing "something" in the near future. I've been told by the beginning of next year.

Joker - who took his TSX up to 120 mph last week on the way to Las Vegas, and it couldn't have been more smooth :thumbsup:

[johnej]

160.... How is this possible??

[larchmont]

160.... How is this possible??
I don't think it is.

(Assuming we're talking stock.)

[Oxygene]

Yeah the fastest I have got is 220kph in 5th. I wasn't game to change to 6th, it starts to float over 200kph. I have to wait for my coilovers before I will try again. I have gone to 200kph a few times just to prove to friends that it can do it. It gets there so easy.

I live in Western Australia, and have vast streches of wide open highway with no one around. The cops sometimes patrol but are rarely seen. Just perfect for blasting to redline.

[Type-S Swiss]

I don't think it is.

(Assuming we're talking stock.)

Agree, no way to reach a real 160 in stock configuration. The car would be terribly unstable anyhow to drive safely !

[Kanon23]

180 kph (only for a few secs since it became very unstable)

[Joker]

it became very unstable
<--Loves his Mugen suspension :nod:

[HondaMan]

Well, I hit about 126 MPH today :eek: going to the GSU vs. ASU game today...it was the Homecoming/Alumni game. GSU won 54-7! :)

BTW, the CAI sounded sweet pushing it up to this speed and it drove so nice and smooth. :D

I just hope y'all were careful......W needs your vote! :D

Yeah, that would have been 2 votes for Bush down the drain. :shock:

Of course I was...it was a stretch of highway out in the middle of no where that I have been on many times in the past. ;)

[APOGEE]

I bumped my top speed to 105 MPH on Saturday on I95 North of Boston.

[FearthisTSX]

I toped out at 140 mph.

I don't think 160mph is possible stock.

[joerockt]

I hit 133 on I-15 really late one night. No one in front of me or behind. Man did it get there pretty fast too.

[johns133]

Once it passed 1k mi, cruised at 100mph in short bursts (~5mi) as traffic permited from Chicago to K'Zoo along I-94.

Stable.

Sharp eye, staying to the right, Whistler Pro 58 helps with the fuzz.

My '97 CL with 2.2 150hp cruised at 115mph easy. Engine/Car was perfect at 110k. RIP. No doubt this car will cruise even better once the clear bra and mask go on.

I don't like to cruise above 85 w/o protection on the front bumper / hood.

Remember, the LH lane is for passing. (and getting tickets)

[larchmont]

.....Remember, the LH lane is for passing. (and getting tickets)
LOL! And how true.

BTW.....what happens if you go faster w/o protection up front?
I've done it for years and never noticed anything, but maybe I'm not so picky about the car's look.

Larchmont, who is aware of the unintended double-entendre. :D

[oo7bondgrrl]

124 on 95 south, kept a constant 110-100 most of the way
:mardi:

i do that on a semi regular basis down i55 when i'm going to and from my parent's house. i have a severe speeding problem, and i don't know how i haven't gone to jail in the 6 years i've been driving. i've been blue lighted twice going over 100 mph, but the cop just kept going both times.

oddly enough, i am the most trusted driver within my little circle of friends. i do tend to speed a bit, but the general consensus is that i am very careful whilst i do it. :)

annnnnyway, i did 130.xx on my birthday, december 30th. it was not comfy at all. the thin band of rubber round my tires picked up every little bump, and even with the springs i felt like i was floating. one of my best friends from high school goes to west point, and he had a really nice gps unit with him. the speedo read around 135 - 136 when i was holding it fairly steady at 130. keep in mind that i have 19" wheels, so this may account for the large gap.

i'm about to play the stupid girl card so i don't have to figure this out myself but can still feel ok about asking. do bigger wheels make your speedo read higher or lower?

[Joker]

Please becareful oo7bondgrrl, and happy late birthday!! :woot:

[MemphisRheins]

Not bad bondgirl... personally 132ish on the LIE...heheh... Bigger wheels would make ur speedo read slower...move surface area per roatation... so u prob beat me

[goowakjai]

the fastest i've driven my tsx is 65mph! :laugh: well, that's because i'm driving miss daisy and i just picked up my car before new years and slowly breaking her in... and i know what some of you are thinking and before you say anything, i'm talking about breaking in the tsx, haha. tisk tisk tisk

[larchmont]

Musta been some B-day. :nod:

[houstontsx]

140...felt like the car was off the ground, no control, stock suspension is absolutely horrible after about 100, wouldnt try again until i get my H&R coilovers :(

[larchmont]

Dunno....I had it above 100 and it felt totally fine.
Didn't go over 110 though. :angel:

[johnej]

Haven't had it past 70

[goowakjai]

sorry for hijacking this thread:

houstontsx....why did you decide on getting the H&R coilovers over the other available coilovers? I'm also considering H&R coilovers and on the fence between H&R and Tein's. Where and how much for H&R coilovers have you found? Thanks.

[twizta]

ive only got to 100mph...ever time i get close to that, i start thinkin, "wait a minute, i can get arrested for going 100 and up." At least thats what ive heard

[twizta]

Haven't had it past 70

even on the highway?

[APOGEE]

105 is my new top speed in the TSX. Didn't even feel it. Looked down and thought whoa, better slow down. stock suspension.

[Noel]

sorry for hijacking this thread:

Please send him a PM, you're better at getting his attention there than posting everywhere.

[houstontsx]

goowakjai, i havent bought the H&R coilovers yet, and im in the same position you are...maybe you should make a new thread on this subject...

[joerockt]

140...felt like the car was off the ground, no control, stock suspension is absolutely horrible after about 100, wouldnt try again until i get my H&R coilovers :(

Uhhh, what kind of control do you need driving in a straight line? :confused:

I took mine to 133...It was solid...Then again, I wasn't jerking the wheel much to test the control. But that was before my wheel upgrade and my Comptech springs...

[Chris Tuckwell]

I've had 'a' TSX up to 200 kph here in Ontario. If caught that's a date with a corrupt judge.

Had a rented '04 BMW 530d (diesel) steady at 250 kph on the A7, A3, A9 autobahn, ect. in Germany.

Does top speed really matter in North America? Look at our BS speed limits here! (speeding tickets = money grab)

[Benz]

Mine top was like......100km? Hahha..... because I am still breaking her in...

[johnej]

yep even on the highway DFW traffic is bad

[flfungirl]

Got mine to 130mph....well actually my DH did. Scared the crap out of me!! But at least in the passenger's seat it felt solid anyway.

BTW....4th got us up to ~100mph.

[larchmont]

DH. Hmmm.

Designated hitter?

I'm guessing dear husband.
But I could be way off....... :donno:

I know how you feel - I also used to live in Ontario and the 100KM/h on the 401 is just BS but...now I will live in Germany and already had a taste of the autobahn...the really nice thing I like is that you do not have that cop paranoia at all time. The car is fitted with winter tires so the handling in not good past 190KM/H. I hit 210 but it was a bit scary to say the least - especially that the autobahn is not of very good quality - feels like the 401 at times!. I stayed in 6th gear but the car was asking for more and would respond very well in 5th gear. Can't wait to have my normal tires back and no one of the road to see what the car can really do. my feeling is that it feels very light at above 210 and it may need a good upgrade in the handling department.
