With the RSM I timed my 1/4 at 14.9, then went to the pod and got a 14.8. so there you go...

haha I can only hit about 50 in 2nd! damn close ratio gear box!

100 in 4th = screaming at like 5500 RPM! or worse...

but 5th supposedly goes all the way to 135 on the box, but if it red-lines at 6.5 and my car could get there in 5th it'd be 130...

thus going from 4th at about 80 mph to 5th = soooo slow...

If I was able to tinker with the gear ratio's I'd make 5th shorter - so it topped out at like 120-125 (my car will never get there, but will get to say 110 on clocks faster than it does now)

I really wish I had a fast car

Oh and demo - pgtfasmb! I do not think my car can do 0-60 in under 10 seconds!

I KNOW IT CAN! - nah jokes jokes jokes - it's more likely 11.5-12's...

Bought 110mph in 4th i think? But i prefer to look at the road at that speed rather that trying to look how fast im going bouncing off the rev limiter

Thats dangerous for your engine.

Mine is the stnadard 7000rpm, although you can feel the power dropping off around 6500rpm so usually change around then anyway.

Daimo, MR2's can rev high with no problems under correct control... only dangerous if your uncapable to drive correctly

Hondas can rev high, its just whether the engine has been designed to take such high forces created at high rpm. Don;t know how Toyota MR2's rev though.

As for this comment
"only dangerous if your uncapable to drive correctly"

ridiculas, anything over 100mph is a ban, this is becuase its dangerous (even if it is fun ) but looking at your speedo at this speed is stupid. You should be 110% concentrating on the road and surroundings at this speed and you would need to be an idiot to think otherwise!!!!!

Why do you think racing drivers dont have a speedo, concentration.
