Top Speeds!

jayguar · 24th October 2007, 12:21

New Honda City 1.5 Gxi - 155 Kmph (Tambaram - Dindivanam Highway)

Honda City 1.5 Exi (2000) - 150 Kmph (Chennai-Pondicherry ECR)

Honda Civic 1.8S - 140 Kmph (Chennai-Pondicherry ECR) - had to stop at a restaurant.

Santro Zip Plus - 137 Kmph (Chennai-Pondicherry ECR) - it wouldn't just go faster

. Actually the speedo showed somewhere between 135 and 140. So I assumed it to be around the 137 Kmph.

175kmph on all new safari 2.2 VVT 140PS.

*UPDATED*

192 kmph, Citroen C4 1.6HDi, 110 Ps. On the Autobahn between Epinal and Frankfurt.

Was following another car, so could'nt overtake, but there was still some way to goto the floor!

Very much possible. If one shifts to the fifth gear in Swift in a highway at around 120 kmph and floor the accelerator down, the revs take a few years to climb up...you'll get creamed by most peppy mid-sizers (including the Accent CRDi which just pulls away at that speed in the fifth gear). The speedo refuses to cross 160kmph in fifth

The best way - shift in third at 120, engage fourth and floor the accelerator, the engine revs like a mixie and carries you to 160kmph reasonably quickly ...starts becoming a tad hoarse after 5600 RPM...I couldn't touch six though I tried hard. Maybe there's a rev limiter at 5500 rpm (not sure)

The tall gearing is responsible for the 4th gear top speed...In the Ikon 1.6, I could touch the top speed only in the 5th gear (190 kmph speedo indication on the Mumbai-Pune expressway and a 'burnt wire' smell)

D1ISTHE1 · 26th October 2007, 14:51

Done 183Kmph in stock Swift, shifted from 4th to 5th @5700rpm, will try again after this service tomorrow with some needle shots.

Oops, my mistake, I meant the double-ton, i.e. 200 mph...

190kph on my BMW R100RT. 203 in a Mustang....at least I think that is what I did. Everything was vibrating so bad the speedo was hard to read. I should have put my mobile phone down, I guess. Spilled my coffee, too!

Too bad about the coffee, I hope you managed to finish the crossword atleast.

135kmph in a Zen Estilo. The car was struggling. My Alto could do 145kmph on the same road. I could have pushed the Estilo a little more but had to back off as the car started fishtailing when there was a crosswind.
