What speed would hitting the rev limiter in fifth on UK gearing equate to?

 

WRX 5 speed or STi 6 speed? Which model year?

 

Sorry should have been more clear, UK MY97 Turbo.

 

Give or take a couple of 10ths, 180mph

 

180 !!! you sure ? Didnt think UK cars went that fast ?

 

Not doubting you, but that can't be right??? The reason I ask is that whilst playing with a mate's 380bhp Supra TT (on private land etc. etc.) I was just shy of the limiter, 6950ish rpm, off the clock in fifth. My car is running around 340bhp, but there is no way I was nearing 180mph, surely?? Maybe my car has been fitted with a jap gearbox in the past?? I'm sure my clutch wasn't slipping, as the revs didn't climb more quickly than my speed.

 

maybe he means Kmh, but maybe not

 

i read somewhere 174.5 = 7k in 5th. I think it was on the DeltaDash website.

 

I reckon my MY98 is at 176mph on the limiter at 7100rpm (Link ECU), I hit 6500rpm yesterday at Elvington at a measured 158.8.
