just wondering for no reason

 

Why don't you go and give it a try. I would guess it's around 140 mph based on 80 mph is 4k rpm on a gsr.

 

I did give it a try, against a corvette. I am guessing 140 as well.

 

140

 

140.7 on 195/55/15
138.9 on 205/50/15

Edit: corrected for tire diameter

Around 138-142.
EVIL

 

Actual speed would be slower on 205/50 (slightly smaller tires), but indicated speed would be exactly the same since nothing in the transmission would have changed.

But yeah it's right around 140 (ask me how I know, and no I won't ever do it again ).

 

my bad I used

http://www.autocrossing.com/cgi-bin/gearcalc.cgi

and didn't correct for the 195/55 diameter being 23.4. It defaults to 22.8 which is even smaller than the 205/50 = 23.1

it is 140.7 on 195/55 and 138.9 on 205/50

 

i had my 17 inch rims on at the time, and i was at 220km/h @7000rpm

 

damn i cant believe I went as fast as I did... I'm runing 195-60s ... so I was going over 140. It took about 10 seconds to go from 80-140... the fact I kept up with a vettes aerodynamics at those speeds is insane... I had the sunroof open and the windows down and we were neck and neck the whole way.

God bless turbo

 

why the hell are you running 195/60 's?

 

yea.. those tires are over sized...

 

I think that guy is using 195/60-14, not 15

 

How high does the speedo go? Was is pretty acurate to what everyone has told you? Just curious cause i got my hatchy up to 7.5K just the other day with a GSR trany It said it was past 145MPH but maybe it's off.

 

i have 195 60 15s cuz i got em free.

 

I just installed a GSR cluster in my 93 Cx (hatch) that has a 98 GSR

I am interested to know if my RPM's are accurate.

In 5th gear here's what I noticed and hoping someone can clarify:

60 mph -- 3,100 RPM
40 mph -- 2,000 RPM
30 mph -- 1,500 RPM

I'll get some more #'s today when I get on the freeway to work.
Can someone post the mph I should be reaching in each gear if taking it to 8k at each shift

Thanks!

PS <> I'm pretty sure the speedometer is off since the Cx wheel diameter is smaller than the GSR's. I am just hoping the RPM's are accurate

 

I think that it would be safe to say on a general purpose basis that if 70mph is 3500rpm and 80mph is 4000rpm, then 7000rpm would be 140mph. Althougth the speedo is probablly slightly off.

 

Another idiot who found out that 7000 RPM is about 140 MPH

Just wondering...but, were you guys on a straightaway ? I ran with a Vette once to...but it was on a more twistie road, and after 120 the Vette coldn't keep the *** end on the ground. Certainly not a car made for road racing. The rear suspension in those things just isn't all that. Anyways...cool either way though! I'm another one of the idiot's that pushed my car to 143. Kinda scary on a normal road!

 

Now that I have my tach (GSR cluster) I am going to look into joining the 140 club
