so, your chart implies that a 2004's top speed is 143mph
but a 2000-2003's top speed is 173 mph.
that's quite a discrepency, no??

i'll make note of my RPM's at various speeds in 6th gear.....it'll make for a good comparison.

If you want the 4.625 rpms, multiply by 1.125.

sixth gear......
KPH RPM
60 2000
100 3300
120 3900
130 4200
140 4400
i didn't try any higher speeds, but the car accelerates quite rapidly with low increases in RPM's..........
so, what are RPM's for the above posted speeds on a pre-'04??

hmm. so with the 4.625's we're looking at 4950 at 140km/hr.. well there goes the fuel economy 
I thought my Prelude had a tall 5th gear, I think about 4200 at 140.. why is the 6th so high in the S?

2000-2003 - per marco's chart only:
62 2000
103 3300
121 3900
131 4200
137 4400
awfully close......damn, i wish i had done 150 and 160 to see if the 2000-2003 starts dropping off.....
but again these are just paper stats....
