About 90mph in my '87 CRX Dx, slightly downhill.
About 130-140 in my '92 Celica ST, over slight inclines/declines. Funny story actually...I was driving from TN to SC and ever since my accident in my corolla last august (hit a tree at 90), I get really nervous in congestion on the interstate. So here I was, trying to slowly break away from a bunch of semi's and other vehicles, when a guy and his woman in a (early 2000-ish) mustang think that i'm trying to race or something. eventually, i'm trying to book it to get away from this lunatic, and he just thinks i'm trying to go faster than him. Mind you, traffic was mild across three lanes, but there were enough other cars to make those speeds even more unsafe. I finally just pulled off the interstate when the guy almost side-swiped a semi trying to stay with me. I don't really like going fast nowadays. I'd rather just be able to get up to the speed limit quickly. I only went so fast (for me, mind you) in the CRX because my girlfriend and I were going to the movies and i wasn't paying attention.

The other day I was in front of a newer camaro at a stop light and I was changing to a different song and somehow stepped on the gas(with clutch in) well i guess that got him pissed because all of a sudden i hear this mean throaty growl behind me and when i make my turn it fly's past me and scares the shit out of me Sounded like it had glasspacks oh man was it loud.

Down a slite grade, Iv pushed my old CRX to, past the 120mph mark and untel the speedometer leg hit the miles reset button and then some.
In return i got an off-speedometer from having the leg resting on the miles reset button and the internal needle free spinning and to add to dammage i slipped a belt and threw my timing off, dropping 2cyls compression to zero and lowering the other 2 some.
The car probably did 140mph at most.

I buried the needle @ 120 mph but the screwed up thing is My civic says its a 1500 DX carb'd (sposed to be a 12 valve) or atleast thats what it says on the cover, its only an 8.

Hmm.. well.. about 115 MPH. I had about 1.5 mile of road to work with. Once these things hit 95-100 (d15a3) they take a lot of room to build speed.. haha.

80 is easy to get to and a very comfy speed in the crx

[chedda_j]

the fastest in my crx is 197 km on a slight decline (115 mph) Todays top speed was 185, but remember anyone can go fast in a straightline, can you do it on the corners, thats where it gets hard.

The fastest ive ever went is 255 km in my buddies camaro. Scary as shit. Specialy in that bucket of bolts.

145-47km did about 3 times on the highway in the fast lane. ina 1.5L stock engine.

160kph in my crx si in 4th gear and still wonted more but  it was to bussy on the hway and the sad part is the car in front was a neon and it was going faster. 170 plus but at that speed  its all a blur so i slowed down, aslo had it up to 145 on the side road the teliphone was a fence post.
