I was just curious what the top speed is, Is it limited to about 113 like my 01 elantra?? The reason I ask is I was driving behind Skierd (Dave) and we where doing about 107-110 MPH through some of those tunnels going to Pa. TUNNELS ARE A BLAST!!! 8D I was just wondering if he was topped out or if he could go faster than my elantra.

yep i can believe the 124mph mark =199.km i got 190km = about 118.1MPH with two fattys in the back (weighing in at about quarter of a ton between the two of them) and a mate in the front and still coulda squeezed more out of her but i backed off because i didn't want to loose my license, car was bone stock 1.5 X3 running on 14s

I was able to hit 111 mph on flat land in my previous 00 Accent L 5 speed. It simply refused to go any faster due to drag resistance. I remember Hyundai listed on their website at the time that the official top speed was 112. The 1.6 models should be able to do about 117. 5 speeds will always have higher top speeds than automatics in this car. Hyundai does not use a speed limiter on the Accent, at least not the 95-05 models.

I think my x3 bounced the rev limiter about 125mph if i remember, that was before swapping to the tib ecu which has a little bit higher rev limit though.

with my stock wheels, my 00 1.5l sohc got too squirrelly at 95, and i chickened out from pushing it any further. didnt seem too unhappy to be at that speed though....but those 13"s HATED IT. Now that i have my 15's on it....95 ought to be cake....but i havent been in the mood to go for it. its a big risk i dont necessarily need to take "just to see".....but it'll happen eventually, i know it will :bandit:

110. thats as fast as mine will go. everyone talks about how they get up to the speed around this range but they still had 1k till redline, so they could of gone faster. just because the car isnt redlined doesnt mean it will go faster. most cars have a fuel cutoff or some sort of limiter that wont let you go past a certain speed.

I've been 110mph, then the road started gettting sh*tty, so I had to slow down. I think I could have gove 115 mph, but it was going to be pretty slow going from 110 to 115. I have the 1.5L and it's all stock. :evil:
