Arrow Top Speed
So, what is the top speed you have gotten your SVX up to?

Mine is about 145 mph. Stock 92 svx ls. It shifted at 110 mph into I beleive 4th gear. I only paid about three grand for this car about 2yrs ago and I feel like I got a great deal. I have only had to do routine maintenance and it allways cranks.

Make sure you just don't say anything about where you made this run(if it was public) or anything about racing, and they might let this thread live. The fastest I've heard of is 172 MPH done in Germany I think. I've had mine to 150 MPH with my 4.44s and it was still going.

Yeah, mine still felt like it had plenty left. I just didnt want to push the car to hard because it had like 230k miles on it at the time.

I hit 120MPH while testing some software on the stage III for LAN. Car was pulling hard still too. Had the power to go faster, but I was running out of RPMs.

You can't in a european SVX. It has a different type of sensor.
