Default How fast does your 4 banger go?

Non turbo that is....

I had my 88' up to 85 and past today. Hours before I blew the tranny all over the road by my house.

Here's a pic.

Nothing modded engine wise, except the silencer box emptied out. 126kmiles.

I had mine to 85 once when it was a 4 banger..then I had to put in a motor because that broke it.

I've had mine up to the odometer trip button. I don't know how fast that was, but I've had it up to 101 according to gps unit and that was about 1/2 way between 85 and to odometer trip button.

I managed to get my 2.3 N/A Auto up to 180 km/h, so about 110 mph.
