whats your rpms like at 85? i got a shade under 3300rpm on my 98

 

Seriously....

 

About 3400rpm

 

Somewhere between 3k and 3.3k rpm. Why?

 

3189.01 rpm, Why?

 

whats your rpms at 85mph? and how much was your ticket if you got one trying to get some hard data?

 

Thread of the week!

 

:metalmax:

 

15,230rpm extend rev limiter

 

just buy a built RX7 and you can reach 15k no prob

 

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.

 

bout 32k....runnin 225/40/18's and ive ran with gps and agains a radar thing and its pretty dead accurate..speed wise

 

This is nonsense.

 

Depends on Auto/Manual. Im at like 2000, just idling along pulling a hill.

 

its just interesting all things we do to these and how close they all still are to each other besides its just a fun thread everyone is so serious here no one talks about the best part of having a fourth gen driving it, and you ticket man you should buy a radar detector you know you can take them from one car to another very useful couldnt live in ny without it

 

huh????

 

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.

 

3300

 

yea i never thought of the poor accessories haha but i think its amazing how old the design really is. its so mind bending how simple it is

 

u people are still posting in this thread? Like u dont know what RPM a 4th gen will be a 85mph?

 

We're saving the thread by turning into a discussion about nothing.

BTW, I'm from Dur-ham originally. I went to Orange HS though since I lived on the edge of Durham. Been in TX for 12 yrs now...

 

In 5th gear at 85 MPH my tach says 1,400 RPM. Says the same thing at 60MPH in 2nd gear.

My tach doesn't work. :P

 

So u left hell?

u should see Durham now, its a semi-nice, we have ducks walking around with out being shot at now.

 

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