Not bad Nykon... sounds like she would top out 140+ (although these cars aren't all that stable at that speed so I wouldn't advise it)
I went 137 in my V6 Auto and it was scary as hell.

AWESOME!!! It's amazing how if you don't know HOW fast you are going you simply go by what you feel you can control. I still stand by my statement that the V6 gets the same mileage at 100mph that it does at 60mph and would venture to say the 420A gets BETTER mileage at 100 than it does at 60 (based on the fact that I drove for 125 miles round trip that day 110 of which where on the Interstate (freeway) and I only burned 1/8 of a tank! I was highly pleased).
Thank you very much everyone.
Nykon two last milder speeds needed. 5th @ 3000 and @ 2000 for highway reasons.

Thinking the limiter is around 117-121 mph. Probably wrong, it's been about 5 years since I've seen this subject. We all just got used to how slow our cars are, lol.

My 5th gear at 4500 RPM is about 100 mph (but I have one more gear to go ) I've only had it up to 120 mph, and that's fast enough. The gov. kicks in at 137 according to someone who tried it. |
