Push the pedal down harder. Why you guys can't make it past 100mph is beyond me.

Several of us on 6GA have - Mix of auto/manual 4cyl's and auto V6's.

There is no limiter or chip availabe and no VAFC or version of the like is going to remove it.

98 LX 4cyl auto here - I've hit 125+

It's all in your heads.
no, it's not, your speedo is in error all non ex accords are limited to 118mph and that has a lot to do with the tires that are on the car......the accord speedo is off by more than 6mph when you get into 100+ speeds (V6 performance . net for discussion on this)

my car is governed to 147 (According to Acura)mph and when i hit the speed limiter in the CL, the speedo said 153mph and GPS locked it in at 148.3 mph my speedo is accurate up to 50mph and from 50-60 is it 1 mph faster and from 60 to 90 it is 2 mph faster

So by what your saying, only the Ex's have accurate speedos? Riiight. I can tell you my car is not limited to 118mph. Even with the speedo being off, as it will be with any car at such a high rate of speed, 6-8mph still puts me well over 120mph.

I checked v6p...saw nothing that backed your statements. In fact, most of them disagreed with everything you said.

The 6th gens are not governed (except the LX VP)
The I4 is drag limited, but can max at 150....I did
The V6 can hit 150

Here's a pic of mine






And Here's a V6 Accord Coupe
