At 6500 rpm in 4th, using the stock tire size and gear ratios from the 98 fsm, I get about 189 mph.

speed = [(6500 rev/min) / (0.694 * 3.619)] * (60 min/hour) / (823 rev/mile)

What is the point though? You are power limited to approximately 140 mph

and aerodynamically limited to way less than 189...

Unless you are trying out to get into Fast and the Furious 4, why do you need to know. Anything above 120 is WAY too fast for public roads. I don't care how open or desolate that area is, there is always that possiblity that SOMETHING, SOMEONE, or SOMEHOW an accident may occur. No one can argue against the fact that the chances of you getting into an accident exponentially increases as you increase speed. At 120+ it is extremely difficult to watch the road ahead for any obstructions and properly be capable of avoiding them unless you are Tony Stewart.

Heh, not to mention you are never going to make it passed 120 without the longest road you have ever seen or an 00VI/MEVI.

um, not exactly. My 97 SE 5-spd is mostly stock and I can peg out my speedo on certain bridges in Tampa that are not very long, but 5spd >>> auto

im mean I could if I chose to do so, but that is really dumb and I would never attempt it unless at the track...

Well might as well call dibs if you have a Black Stereo Trim (that goes around the HU/Bose)

Definitely wrong. I've done 125 several times on fairly short stretches of road (by short I mean the space it TOOK, the not the space I had to use), and only stopped at 125 because I have S-rated tires. The car definitely still had pull in it, and that's even with the stock manifold.

120MPH was easy in my 5spd and was still pulling pretty damn good! 120MPH in my auto and still pulling, if your planning on going 120+ which i dont reccommend on public streets, turn off overdrive, and at redline in 3rd turn it back on.

I didn't say you can't make it passed 120. It is just very hard. The car pulls extremely slowly and you are increasing speed at a very low rate. Granted this person is a noob and probably doesn't know the O/D off trick anyway. If you have mods then obviously it will pull better. I had intake/y-pipe and once I hit 120 it was like a brick wall on my auto. My 5-Spd is a different world.

Very hard? I've done it several times on relatively short stretches of road. Never once have I used the O/D off "trick" either. I wouldn't call 120 a wall, either, as I was still pulling very solidly at that point.

Are you stock?

I was doing 120 in the steaming heat of GA. The freezing cold weather in PA can attribute to it.

Freezing cold weather? Any time I've done these runs it's been the dead of summer, usually 90 degrees outside and relatively high humidity

Nah it was pretty easy to make it to 120 in my old stock '96 auto and I doubt I had o/d off every time I did it. You only really need to do the o/d trick to make it to 135+ But 125 was fast enough since I didnt really want to die.

120 is easy, when i first got a max about 4 years back, i hit 137 mph in a bone stock car with gle rims and tires. I was trying to hit 140 but had to brake fast since i had two cars in front of me blocking both lanes, (two lane road). The funny thing is that the governor didn't kick in at 120 like it should have. Anyways, a year later when me and a few friends drove cross country to oregon, on the same car, the governor worked and we couldn't go passed 120...go figure. But that was when i was single and a bit more risk taker, after numerous of$400+ tickets, I learned to drive the speed limit. Sort-off.
