Mp5 Smokes 02' Civic Si W/ Cai & Exhaust

I was drivig and this si was askin for it so when we got on a straight away i droped the gear and pulled till 133 but the best race was with a 92' honda h/b and he had a 95' j-spec b16
he had many bolt on on it we started racing around a turn and we were hiting about 120 around the turn then he pull up next to me and i downshifted and started pulling on it and then it's vtec ripped and pulled on the mp5.

Pulled to 133. A p5 can't do 133 without alot of work done to it.

The Pro can do 133, but it definately won't "pull" up there...

the protege5 can totally hit 133! it's totally do-able. i'm sure this is how it happened: TIGHT MP5 was on a downhill slope of a highway with a decline angle of about 30 degrees and, along with those contributing factors, must have caught the jetstream blowing tailside at about 250mph while trailing in the draft of a big rig going about 140mph.

either that, or he means 133kmh. in any case, there is no way on God's green earth that a protege5 could smoke an Si with intake and exhaust. well, maybe if the Si was running on three cylinders... or two.

oh, i know... is TIGHT MP5 talking about the tactical weapon, the MP5?

ok, that's enough being a smartass for one day. it was a long long day for me. forgive my smartassness. but yeah, let me raise the bullshit flag on this one as well...

I see now.

A stock p5 will not do more then 122.I have pegged mine on the highway with plenty of space and only got 120. Unless you got a turbo or many other upgrades it will not happen.

i hit 120-125 on the highway once, but it wasnt redlined or pegged, that was all motor, no bottle. I dunno about 133? you'd have to sit on the throttle for like 5 minutes to get to that speed, haha.

I've hit 130 in my Pro before, but it sure as hell wasn't pulling. Once the Protege hits 110-115 it's like it hits a wall and acceleration goes to all hell. It takes quite a bit of time to get to 130+. I'm sure with 100 miles of open, straight road and no cars my Pro could max out the speedo. Then I can brag about my 0-140 mph times. "I hit 140 in just under 20.... minutes!!!"

Our engine is pretty willing up to 100-110, but bogs down majorly after that. If you wanted to "pull" to 130, you shouldn't have bought a 4 cylinder.

Notice he never says the si raced him up to 133.
TIGHT MP5 was so busy wedging his foot against the floor, he didn't notice the SI pull 100 yards ahead of him and get off at the next exit.
He looks all around for the SI, but can't find him. He thinks, "hot damn! my car must be fast!"


sorry, had to agree with the rest.
