Topic #2734 12 posts Started by Dickster223
I was wondering what every ones RPM's are in a standard. My car seems like it runs to hard at like 80mph its at 4 grand. Just give me some speeds-what gear-and what RPM its at thanks
i wondered the same i figured that is just the way its supposed to be im also at like 4000 rpms at 80
my car turns about 3300 at 80. I've got a 95 ST auto.
i'm at almost 4000 at 80 in fifth
im also at 4k goin 80 mph. that one of the reasons why when i get my 3s-gte i wanna get the mr-2 tranny with it casue if im correct its a different tranny and has different final drive gear ratios. correct me if im wrong

try turning the OD on if you have a AT, if you have a MT sounds about normal...

hahahah

thats what i was gonna say but i didnt want to seem like a d*ck. thanks for taking my place.
4 grand at 80.. need 6th gear bad.. but since my car is a convertible the wind noise always masks the engine noise at that speed.
yeah, 80 has me around 4k...pretty high...but you can't win them all...I feel the gearing hurts this car a lot.
Dunno...I hit 4100 going 90...and I drive 90mph down the interstate about everyday.
Guys

In Australia we have lazer speed checks on the freeways

I noticed that at 100klm/h (62Mph) on the clock the lazer check reads 97klm/h (60Mph).
At 110Klm (68Mph) the Lazer check reads 105 (65Mph)...

I have 16inch alloys on so I figured if anything the speed might slightly over read, but it looks like the other way around.

(The tyres are low profile, but nothing extreme.)

At 100klm/h (62Mph) the revs on an Australian import read approx 3200, so 4000+ revs at 90 (130Klm/h) sounds about right for manual.
