I had the speedometer needle pegged on my old 91 Civic on the NJTP/PATPK connector road. That makes it at least 120mph, but I found that the speedometer ran slow the higher it got on that car, so I'd guess it was somewhere between 130 and 140.Unfortunately about 15 to 20 minutes after achieving those speeds the New Jersey State Police were only so happy to provide me with official documentation that my car was travelling at 91mph past the garrison just north of Exit 4. The fine and points from that bit of stupidity effectively ended my excursions beyond 80mph the highway system. Then when I bought my '08 Civic I wanted to see what the digital speedometer looked like displaying triple digits. I really was interested, but wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money or even face the prospect of losing my license. It took me a few months to work up the nerve to really push it and go for 100mph. That is of course, until I remembered there was the "MPH \ km/h" display button and that I could easily see what 100 looked like on the display while still traveling at NJSP friendly speeds. |
