The only thing that your stang and an rx-7 have in common is that they both roll on 4 wheels .



I cruise at ~2700 to 3200.



The o2 sensor and catalytic converters are mutually exclusive. He has an o2 sensor, I'd bet Ihor's mom's panties on it

Wow.... I cruise at 2k in 4th practically everyhwere I go, and shift into 5th at about 50 mph which is back down around 2 k. My downshifting is so quick though that it doesnt matter for me. I feel like such a noob on this forum with no posts... but the "other" forum, I Feel higher I guess? lol

They could be cruising as low as 20 mph, it all depends what gear they are in.



I take it they are staying in 4th at 55mph, or staying in third at 30-40...?



Dunno the Rx7's Rev at each speed. I know my Integra is 3100rpm @ 70 MPH in 5th, and the MKI Mr2 was like 4000 @ 70mph (LOL).
