    Default Miata top speed?

    I saw a British TV show on You tube that said the top speed for the last NB was 127mph and the first year NC was 132mph. Does anybody know the hard data on the various generations? Are the above speeds even close?

    Mine topped out at 115, but I have an NA, so my experience is useless to you and I don't even know why I posted it.

    I've seen NA road tests that quote top speed at around 115-120mph (depending on whether it's a 1.6L or 1.8L). I've only been able to get my '94 up to about 110mph (indicated), but if I had enough room I bet it would claw its way up to 120, give or take. Granted, I've never replaced my spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc...

    i have had my nb indicate about 125 before "one a closed course, of course"
    so 127 seems about right
