Im really curious about what the top speed you guys have gone in your miata.
I also would like to know the top speed on the stock miata NA 1.8l and the 99-00 NB models as well. And of course turbo'd and just upgraded cars in general.

thanks

I wasn't aware that the Miata had an ecu top speed cutoff. I always thought stock miatas were just too underpowered to reach the top of 5th/6th.

i've hit the top of 5th in both my miata and 240, both stopped around 120 with some left

I went 95 in a prius....

did you know there's a button to change the speedo from mph to kph? confusing for a few minutes in a rental car.

Approx 110mph before the limiter cut in.
Car is a Jap import & limited to 180kph (easy to fix that, just can't be bothered tbh)
I read a similar thread recently & with the gearing we have 120-130mph is about the limit. generally.

There was never a limit put on anymiata speedo ever that i have ever known off most 1.6's and 1.8's top out in the 110-123 mph range lightly modified or unmodded. Turboed i can snap on 140 or so pretty easy when i have high boost going. But i don't have roads to handle that kinda speed here so i generally stay aroun 120 or so if i wanna wind it out.

only done about 100 in the miata, but it was still pulling hard. did and indicated 175 on my 02 zx9r, and indicated 167 on my 06 gixxer 600, both were also still slowly pulling

probably around 110-120, i rarely get on the highway so i usually keep my speeds under 80mph on regular roads

about 130, a little under was still pulling a little(almost redlined though).. blew off a charge pipe. I went 118 stock motor topping out my 1.6 just about.

i just did 120 in 4th on the dyno.

on the road i've had the car up to 140ish

if you wanna know what models will do what max speed in each gear use this page http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/gears/

you have to full in tire size, gearings, and your diff ratio(final drive)

you can get gearing info at http://members.aol.com/solomiata/Drivetrain.html

final drive ratios:
90-93 - 4.30
94-97 - 4.10
99+ 5 speed - 4.30
99+ 6 speed - 3.90
MSM - 3.90

(i think)

before you wanna question my 120mph in 4th on the dyno:
5 speed with 3.90, 215/45/15.

with fresh oil change i hit 135 6th gear at around 6600 rpm in my 03 stock miata there was no cutoff switch it just wouldn't go anywere and there was no more highway space
