RSVXLsi, unless your speed was verified by a GPS or radar gun, an actual speed of 152mph is extremely unlikely. The stock SVX speedo can be inaccurate to as much as 10%.
At an indicated 152mph on the speedo, you may only going at a 'true' 137mph... -Chike Quote:

As far as I can tell but its was another 94 I heard about that had a higher top speed than 136.But then again my car shifts like a 92 it shifts exactly at 7000rpm or a little over 7 if you hold it in gear.

What we read about the svx isn't always true.My 94 ran more than 136 heres another guy his 96 also ran over 150.Sometimes what you read isn't the law.Thats how I warped my rotors.The second time I ran over 136 was on highway 95 racing a 97 on newer prelude he stop pulling at a little over 140 and I nearly went into another time zone passing him,I don't do that anymore.
