oh yeah its been a while but you can hit 60mph redlining second. there is no way you can hit 45+ mph unless you rev it to 10k or you have bigger tires in the back and your speedo is off https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

i did about 66mph in my gxl at about 8300 rpms in second

I can't recall ever driving mine without hearing the buzzer at least once.

Where are you guys getting these short gears from?!?! My speedo is dead on, and I hit about 72 mph at 8400 rpm in 2nd.

3rd 82ish mph

4th 115 mph

5th highest ive gon in fifth in my NA was 124 mph. Thats where it stopped pullin
