Were the trannies in those models THAT short? Wow

What is your rpm reading at 119 in 5th gear?

the rpm reading is arround 6200

what top speed will i get out of the dx tranny? 132mph? 140?
i do have 17s on the car so i know that will put it off alittle bit

i never had this problem with my rx-7 i have had that over 180 mph, but the tranny is setup for drag

and what reason do you have to be going over 119mph? The civic will also drag lmit you around 140-150 anyway.

sometimes you have to outrun the cop you past doing 90 in a 55

i have had my rx-7 on the highway doing over 180 mph weaving in and out of traffic racing a twin turbo supra, he maxed at 170ish though
