I'd like to know where in Florida we can go that fast? I have a hard enough time keeping a steady 70mph on the way to work with the way I have to bob and weave through the old people!!!

Hope u got deep pockets. If u wanna reach that by goin all-motor thats some serious money there. U'll probably get there quicker by going turbo but i never bin turbo'd so someone else that has can help u out. But im pretty sure u still gotta have some money 2 reach them 400-450hp.

There are alot of options out there. Are you going to drive this car daily? Want to keep AC? and powersteering? Have decent gas mileage?

If I were to go that fast, I sure as hell wouldnt do it on 75!! FHP is all over that interstate!!

well an EG isnt an EVO by any means, I have owned both. I suggest doing some research on the different series of Honda motors, H, K, B, D, F, J, Etc...and make a choice on which platform you want to build on. Almost any of them can get you to 160mph quickly, its all in how you build it.

It will kill you sooner or later dude. Not telling you what to do, but basically what you already know. My uncle smacked a tree in his Honda Civic, the speedometer needle was pinned at 140 mph. He lost control due to a tire blow out, bet he would take it all back if he could, but he can't.

Anyways, back to your question. A GSR turbo with 450whp with an LS tranny will get you up to those speeds. Just know that spinning at that speed constantly will destroy your motor after a while. Be safe, dying isn't worth going fast, just go to the drag strip and run it at high speeds.
