i got on a clean flat road and did 125, i had friends in front of me warning me of other drivers, so i was parcially being smart about it.

I think it should be some problems in ur GT. Coz I just use a short time to hit about 120mph many times.
damn man thats disapointing i just got my gt about a month ago and havnt had a chance to really drive it. but my 91 prelude did 135 and it was automatic.

Stock new GT is 135hp..of course they're older and with age comes less performance.
From 70 to 110 takes the 3s bout6 or 7 seconds.

i've got 170k miles on my 95GT, and it get to 110 with no problem...it slows down a bit after 115 but at that speed im also at redline on the rpms so i haven't pushed it farther..
The 5sfe can go really fast stock. I once took it out of my car, hooked some go cart wheels to it and put a ziptie on the throttle body
can't find where it stopped
120 and still going, and thats without ever having the injectors cleaned and they needed it.... badly, and also with a screwed up air sensor chip or something like that. iv heard 130-135 range on a flat road ... hmm i think ill try this really steep hill nearby some day....

dang, i guess theres just something wrong with my celica then. it took me like 15 sec just to get from 100-110. Even getting to 100 was hard to reach. Guess I gotta look at the little things first.
i have an st and i hit 115 at 5800 rpm...it took a while but it did it...
120 at 4.5 - 5k rpm i, suprisingly the 5sfes have decent potential for speed.
wtf....damn my tach must be messed up or something when i replaced the guages...hmm, i know its off by 5 miles but i hit 6k at 120 and compared to u guys something is not right....damn damn...
i drove for about 3 hours with the pedal all the way to the floor and it neve moved off 120. so i dunno about u guys
at 6.2k RPM's i got to 125-126mph, but i dynoed it at 130 MPH (top speed), so if your car is stock, the Fastes you will ever go is 130MPH and thats if u dont have any air resistance (drag) to slow u down
That's not true ivan, mine could go to 132, ya never know, the older gt vs. the newer one, they're different in ways. So, 130 for your car is the correct way to say it.

I've reached 215km/h in my gt, umm mph thats 133.5. It was pushing really hard but, about 5,9 -6,000 rpm.

bah.. lets just say every cars different. it might be a celica but little things make little things happen. does turning the distributor make any difference? i think i kinda moved mine so my car doesn't idle so low as if it was gonna die on me.

first off i VERY RARLEY go into 5th gear, i've been 115 in my 95 st and not really close to redlined, think it was around 5-5.5, and that was in 4th so iunno. kinda leads me to believe the top speed is higher.
well just because youve got rpms to go dosnt mean you going to gain that much more speed.
my friends car maxes out at 3,000 rpms at 165 and even if he holds on the gass for an hour hes not going to go any faster.

that low numbered hp means it ain't pushing through the resistance.

i did 131@ 5800 rpms in my st on an open highway 1 night ran just fine
133 MPH @ 7k and I was bouncing off the rev limiter.
trdevelopment - How did you get such low RPM's? Are you Automatic?
i did 130 on a mostly flat road, then theres a small hill and when i went down it i hit 135. @around 6800RPMs
well the gears in the stock gt are quite tall i have had mine to 136 in 5th and still gaining but just note this it took two weeks to get there. i did this on an old airfeild in suffolk. i have a 94 gt.
