How fast does a stock 1991 suzuki samurai go 1.3l Fuel Injection. 4X4?

Answer 1

I don't think there is a single, good answer to your question. Speed is determined by many factors, including but not limited to terrain, elevation, vehicle condition, and gearing ratios of the transfer case and differentials vs tire size.

Generally speaking, a Samurai in decent condition should easily maintain a legal 55+ mph with no difficulty. In mountainous terrain the answer might be: expect to go slower up the mountain than you go down the mountain.

The Samurai is not much of a highway/freeway vehicle. Many owners drive their rigs 70+ mph and do it safely (in terms of vehicle longevity) because the engine and drivetrain has been refreshed or swapped, and the overall gear ratios mesh with their tire sizes.

Where the Samurai shines is offroad. The rig is light, narrow, short and can be made to stand taller for better ground clearance very easily. A Samurai in decent condition climbs like a Goat and is tough as a Rhino. They are also super affordable and their owners often delight in showing up rigs that cost 20 times the Samurai's price tag! And did I mention they are easy and inexpensive to work on and modify!
