On an evo 8
Does anyone know what speed you will be at when at 7,000rpm in 3rd gear?

Which Evo? If it's a 260 then not very fast, if it's a 400+ evo then quick!

Depends on the Evo and what gearbox it has! All depends on the ratios.
An Evo with 600bhp will be doing the same in 3rd at 7k rpm as one with 260bhp if it has the same gearbox and diff!

Just put your foot down, the wheels will spin so fast the earth will move and I'll get closer by the second
