Anyone have any idea how to fast 5k rpms in 5th gear would be in mph? my car has s14 oem se wheels, so should be around the same size as the oem s13 15s... Thanks! :bigthumb:

Too fast for any speed limit in the U.S. but seriously 3k is normally around 60 to 65 mph.

its somewhere from 118 to 125 mhp i believe. but since the speedo doesnt go that far, we all can assume its 200mph otherwise your transmission wouldve dropped. lmao! :)

I cruised at around 110mph for awhile on the way home from a trip, I'm pretty sure it was around 4800pms. And it killed my mpg's lol. It was a 250 mile trip, I made it there with like 1/4 of a tank left from full and took around 3hr 45 mins..way back took over a tank and a half but made it in 2hr 20 min with stopping for gas/eating lol

It should be right around 125 mph +/- about 3 mph, but why were you going that fast to begin with on what I'm assuming was a public road?

LOL, everyone on this forum cares too much about what other people are doing.

I drove in 5th to the rev limiter a couple times. My buddy next to me said we were going about 120 when it kicked.
