I'm putting my flame suit on for those who are against speeding on public roads...

But I am trying to figure out what speed each gear redlines at. Obviously I'm not going to do 4th-6th...

I went to a strait, smooth, secluded, booneyville of a road... And got through 3rd. I think I was at about 90, but not sure. Despite the perfect environment (next to a track), I was focused on the road, NOT the guages... But I think I was at 88 when I was at 8500 rpm...

I think 2nd was about 65 (getting on the freeway)...
1st would be easy to check, but I haven't.


So if anyone knows the exact speeds that each gear redlines, I'd love to know....

TIA, and if you couldn't tell, I'm new to the car!!! Haha
