I get it to 66, beep. Though I am 47, my hearing is not too bad but I can hardly hear it when it does. My youngest son hears it better than I do and I know that kids have dog hearing but I think that beep could be louder. :D

I was curious where the automatic would hit the end of 2nd. Now we know. I'd say the 60-65 range is where I'm hitting it in my six-speed.

I've only hit the fuel cut-off at 9500 once. That was only because I didn't hear the beep under the radio. You will know when you hit it though because it goes from rapid acceleration to flat pretty quick.

Also incase you are wondering in my automatic 3rd gear goes up to 120. And thenafter that in 4th gear it only lets me go another 5 mph --to 125 before locking me down but theres still plenty of RPMs left in 4th so I guess technically 4th gear in automatic could make 140 if it werentfor damn governor.

64~65

Edit: I stand corrected, it's 60~61 when I hear the beep. But 64~65 when I shift.
