i love my 11.2L/100km too much. but on the other hand i really would like to go faster.
whats it the rpms at 130km/h?
there's a few times ive been in the states and enjoyed cursing at 150km/h for hours and hours. i'm curious if it would cause overheating issues and what not. i realize i'm the in the minority not many 8 owners spend that much time at high speed on hwy's.
off topic hows the new brakes?

Can't remember exactly, something north of 4k and south of 4.3k.

I really doubt that overheating would be an issue...

... supposedly running 225/45/18, using a 6th @ 0.843 and a final of 4.77....

In Theory:

He should be @ ~4204 rpm when @ 130 km/h (compared to 3913rpm with 4.44 final)


(Assuming I didn't mess up any formulae...)

@ 3750rpm, speed should be 116km/h
@ 120km/h @ 3880rpm

for everyone that wants to know what a given rpm to speed is, just go to speed in gears calculator on the internet and you can punch in tire size, gearing, and final drive and hit calculate and see any combination you want to and speed associated with it as well.
