Gear ratios differ.

Cool

In the name of science (and the fact that I was trading in the car the same week) I discovered that in my old MY00 Turbo it would do 67 in second gear before the rev limiter kicked in.

Sti7 Type UK

2nd Gear Ratio 2.375 or 7.8MPH per 1,000 RPM

That equates to 58MPH in 2nd at redline dropping to 5,500RPM in 3rd. 3rd will take you to 78MPH at redline.

Redline is 7,500RPM.

Hope this helps

Steve

Jen,
If you provide me with the 2nd gear ratio, final drive ratio, tyre size and revs reached, I can tell you the speed no problem.

On my MY00 Delta Dash displays 100kph at 7000rpm. This equates to 62mph.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

D,
What problems ? If you mean the car, then that wasn't a problem, in fact it was a blessing in disguise - I have a new car and woman all down to that accident...
LOL

Jen,
Because I can then tell you what it SHOULD have read and not what you IMAGINED it read...
LOL
