Depends on what tires/rims you're on btw....
My tire setups have all given me different RPMs/Speed
(235/45/17 - most accurate 74mph @ 3k 225/50/17 72mph @ 3k, 225/55/16 and 225/45/17 70mph? I dont recall but it's the least accurate speedometer reading I've ever had).
Just sayin.

i have a 92 5.0 with a lot of work and even people with the same parts i own have totally different numbers i think its just the tolerances in the maxima motors are just better. 15k is nuts it must make it own gravitational field i bet its got no vibration either

The engine will rev that high...wankel rotary engines don't have the valvetrain constraints that reduce reciprocating speed of "normal" combustion engines. The accessories on the other hand will probably blow up long before 15k rpm.

I'm pretty sure the OP only started this thread because he was bored as hell. Must have been at work, lol.
