Are you an insurance agent? Then top speed is governed at 85mph

"We didn't get anywhere near the Type R's impressive top speed, which Honda says is about 170 miles per hour." - https://www.autoblog.com/2017/06/14/2017-honda-civic-type-r-first-drive-review-98765/

"...a track top speed of approximately 170 mph." - http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=9740-en

zroger73,

I get that the top speed is approximately 170, was just wondering if there was a governor that limits that stock. if we were to take the car to a track could we get it up past 140?

The OEM tires are rated at 186 MPH. Honda's use of the word "approximately" in front of 170 MPH implies that the vehicle is drag limited. Car and Driver also states that it is drag limited as opposed to governor limited. Since the car isn't capable of exceeding the speed rating of its OEM tires, an electronic governor isn't necessary. There is no electronic limit at 140 MPH.

Yes you can go above 140.

Seriously thought I've touched 145, not at the track.

Reversing out of the driveway.

165 on a curvy interstate in Mexico.. lol with all the curves it wouldn't pull anymore with the way the brakes work on curves. And make sure to increase air pressure before attempting anything crazy.
