#269324 Im gunna take a guess and say because it's a 1.5L and an automatic. not that a 5 speed would make it rocket past 100mph but you get the idea.... i hope

#269440 my sedan (when it was running) lx automatic d15b7 nearly did 115 mph but it took along time to get to that... empty freeway, early in the am, late to work :lol: only way i pulled that off but maybe thats why my motor took a poop :x

#269790 the stock 1.5L isnt ment to go that fast and couple that with an auto trans, hell it take me at 12 seconds or more to get to 60mph lol

#271013 Your stock ECU is limited to not go over 115mph. I have with my d15b8 and cx gearing gotten to 115 and sat there not going any faster. It actually doesn't take me very long considering I can run out 3rd gear to about 105. Id say from 80-100 takes me about 10-15 seconds. Sometimes less depends how heat soaked the motor is (if id already been running it hard earlier).
