How fast have you taken your NSX up to?

NVSNSX · 11 March 2003

Just curious about who really takes it to the extreme?

ChopsJazz · 11 March 2003

Only 160 a couple of times. After that the auto speed-limiter kicked in: "Can you slow it down to at least 125?" It's okay though, I divorced her.

130 mph on hwy37 between sears point and 101 last Saturday.

Hey I have one of those auto speed-limiters. It automatically works in every car we own. Have to admit she has saved me alot of $$$$$ in speeding tickets. I'm keeping mine though!!

Over 160 a few times. 120-130 regularly. It's too smooth not to go there. I hardly realize the speed around the 120 range.

AJKS · 11 March 2003

176 in my 92 with 30k miles. RM intake, exhaust, headers, Dali light weight fly wheel and clutch.
Here is how it went. I was on an Alabama highway (nice bright lights) 3:30am with 4 Local police officers I worked with on the side of the road with a radar gun. My NSX was at 171 on the spedo and would not go any more so when I was about 1 mile from the radar gun I hit the Horn. Cool thing is I had an RM Nitrous kit installed 80 hp, (horn switch activation). When I passed the rader site they got 176 on the clock. I had the nitrous on for about 15 seconds and that is aboutt the time limit for an NOS system. I am working on my 2002 right now. I want to see at least 180 or so with out the nitrous.

Brody · 11 March 2003

Just under 160 twice.The front end gets a little "loose" at that speed.However I always hit 120 easily when the car comes out to play.

Loose?? What do you mean? There was a bend in the freeway right after I hit 168 and the car handled it beautifully. In fact.. I didn't even think twice about it. Maybe I should have. Or maybe I'm nuts. Oh well, they would have pulled me from the wreckage only to find a HUGE smile on my face.

Maxed out Just shy of 170 mph going down hill in Texas on the Players Run. Just trying to keep up with everyone else!
Good thing it was not my car! Just kidding Nick :] Avg was 120 to 130 most of the six days. Below 100 was rare!

NSXaholic · 11 March 2003

About 130-ish on I55. I get a little nervous at speeds higher than that, as the little white stripes in the road seem to be whizzing by much faster at that speed than they used to in my Porsche. 148mph in my Porsche.

Regards.

284 km/h (177 mph) on the german Autobahn, where this kind of thing is legal!! (I got it on video)

All these confessions...

Any cop reading this would have a field-day!

OMG can I come visit you sometime and have your officer buddies clock me? I'd love to actually be able to speed and not have to waste attention worrying about cops. That's an awesome story.

280 km/hour (174 mph), highway of course.
Must admit that when traffic is not too dense I like to hit 200 km/hour (125 mph) at least once a day

gheba_nsx · 11 March 2003

270 kmh (168 mph) on my old red NSX. This one has been only to 250kmh a couple time...

NetViper · 11 March 2003

I know this is lame, but 125 on Texas motor speedway... I haven't gone faster than that on public roads.

AaronR · 11 March 2003

I wish I had someplace to top out the car over here, but our roads have such bad potholes from the snowplows in the winter. They knock you out at 75-80, I wouldn't want to hit one at triple digits. I guess I'll have to wait to get to the track this spring

I get this question all the time. My answer is:

"I have no idea, the speedometer only goes up to 180."

But, I'll have to give credit to Barn Man for teaching me that quote.

Kinan · 11 March 2003

140 on I-5 southbound from Carlsbad on ramp at 6pm twilight. No traffic for 2 miles. Very smooth. Felt like 60 mph. No looseness whatsoever.

You're not likely to go anywhere near top speed on a road course; it's tough to get much over 140, even those with long straights. Unless you're running a full high-banked oval, that is.
