Default How fast in third?
Couldn't believe my eyes tonight when I looked at the speedo I was doing three figures in third (KPH)-still getting used to the ratios. Found a safe stretch to open the engine up. Bloody hell I'd be sh*tting it taking forth up to that end let alone sixth. Insane speed Definitely for the tracks

I think I average 28mph per gear in my Accord. Sounds like you guys are getting closer to 35 in your S2000s. Awesome (:

I also assume you've seen the video where the guy runs up to max speed on a not-completely-straight road. It was kind of hard to tell, but I think he got it in the red on all gears but sixth.

Being a conservative old f@rt - managed 137 in 5th before I started thinking about my license. Didn't notice what the GPS said.
What surprised me was the ease with which it got there. I suppose that if you try 6th there must be a tailing off as you get over 145-ish.
