i mean, my old car was a stock 1991 accord ex and on a lone stretch of desert highway at 3am i took it up to 135.... it's no sports car by any means![/quote:e0e85b4b3e]
135 in a STOCK 91 Accord EX??? That's a tough one to believe....however, an INDICATED 135 is realistically only around 125 or so. Older Honda speedometers have proven to not be the most accurate in the auto world.
I routinely drive my E at 80 or so on I95 here in the DC area. I'd really be concerned with taking it much faster than that. It's just not designed for that type of driving, and in all honesty, isn't safe at those speeds either. Brakes aren't made for it, aerodynamically it's very challenged, and the stock tires are as far from "performance" oriented as you could get. If you have one car do something unexpected in front of you while driving at that speed, you could be doomed.
