What speed at 6,000rpm???

MY96 STI V.2 - what speed should I be doing at 6,000rpm in 5th gear?

My car seems to rev up the range very quickley, just wondered if there was an RA box in there! Where are the gearbox serial numbers?

0 MPH because your engine will have gone BANG!!!!!

Keep it under 3000 RPM and be sensible!

Wondered how long it would take to get some abuse from PSlewis!!!

I feel 1 of the 'gang' now!!!! LOL!!!

I'm not to sure about the box thats in TBH.

FarmerWRX - I'm assuming the Type R has the shorter ratio gearbox than the standard STI?? Because 120mph is what I have at 6,000 rpm (5th gear PSlewis!!), obviously not on her Majesty's highways!
