Default What gears do I have
I bought a used 2008 S2000 from a dealer. The car tachs 3000 in 6th gear at 55mph. Do I have stock gears? Thanks for your assistance.

No. You will be bogging the engine and causing stress.

I would recommend keeping it above 6000 rpms at all times, but make sure you check your oil level often.

I don't mind the 3000 rpm's at 55 mph. The only problem when I'm behind the wheel is "I Can't Drive 55". LOL

That actually seemed kind of low to me, but I have different gears. Guess I will also go with the guess of stock (4.10).
