Top Speed

This has been asked many times. unfortunately, you can't search unless you're a donating member. There's been very long debates about this. Some say the 5-speed SE isn't speed limited, just drag limited and that the automatics are limited at like 130 and the 5-speed non SE are limited at 140. I remember some threads kept going back and forth with people saying they managed to get past 130 with an auto and others past 140 with a manual and others in the middle and every other possible combination. I don't think the debate was ever properly settled. I guess you'd need all the models and a nice oval track to be absolutely certain
For me, I was drag limited and I have a 2000 SE 5-speed.
I was drag limited around 140/142 (remember there's also a speedo error percentage at those speeds.)
I did see a picture of one guy who managed to get 156 mph on a 2002 SE 6-speed I think (he took a picture of his GPS device cause you can't trust the speedo).
Who knows really...

5th is 155 estimated
6th is 200 estimated
If you want to stretch out each gear then find your rev limiter which is a tru 6550 rpm. Don't trust the redline on the tach.

Odd, everyone else reports soft speed limiters at 130 in all 5th gen autos.

There's been a lot of debate about this one - some of us have gone past 130, others say they are speed limited to 130 max (auto). Nissan told me that the cars are limited to the speed rating of the tires.
Don't know what the answer is - I checked the speedo in my car and it's off something like 0.4 mph at 100, so it's not speedo error. But some folks are adamant that they're limited...?

top speed
I once raced a turbocharged civic and it kept up with me at 120mph (yes I was shocked too) so I bumped my car to 140mph, I was a lil in the red, so after he gave up tryin to catch up I slowed back down to 100...140mph so far...maybe more with more mods...

I hit my 130-ish top end while pulling on a 98-2000 bimmer 3 series. My car was a GXE with 16" rims stock. Whatever your "Soft" rating is, will be dependant upon what your factory tires were/are.
There is a field in the Consult II to enter the tire rating which equates to the top end limit within the ECU.

I now live in Germany for the next 4 years and I brought my 2k SE 5Spd with me from Canada. Since I live in the land of Autobahns I will definitely find out my top speed. So far, I've hit 135+ (with room to go faster) on the way back from hockey but most of the time my wife is with me and won't let me drive faster than 120. With summer coming, I will have more opportunity to test the "max" of this "maxima".

Well, prior to 9/11 there were barely any cops at the airport and it was a no-fly zone for helicopters...
Besides their top speed is only like 175mph...
