Default Is this normal?

I just bought an S2000 (AP1 BB) about a month ago and was wondering if it is normal for my car to be at 4000RPM and only going 73MPH? Is that stock gears or aftermarket? Thanks.

100% normal. If you had 3.57 gears, you'd be closer to 5k rpm.
3.77 gears, even worse.

because 3rd gear redlines at 92 mph. 2nd gear redlines at 67 mph. this is fact, buddy. so saying you are at redline in 3rd gear about to drop into 4th at 72 mph, makes you sound like a complete retard.

Max speed per gear:
1: 44mph
2: 67mph
3: 93mph
4: 118mph
5: 142mph

6: Top Speed/170mph
Final drive ratio: 4.756 (4.1 * 1.16)

It's because you're granny shiftin', not double clutchin like you should...

The fact that you have reached at least 142 mph+ on public roads, coupled with many other factors, are just part of the reason why I don't like you.
