Hello and hello

Planning to pick up a coupe soon and was wondering what speed is the car @3k rpm in 6th/overdrive?
85? or 80.

I don't get what you mean by 6th/overdrive. I have the CVT(auto) but there is no overdrive. I've kept it at 3K RPM from 20mph up to 119MPH without moving the needle away from 3K.

I meant what speed (mph) is the car going at when your in manual 6th gear @ 3k rpm.

edit: wow thats new to me as I never had a CVT car.. 3k rpm @ over 110 mph, and automatics are suppose to rev higher than manual from what I know..hmmm

i can't help you there since mine isn't manual. But yea the CVT is pretty weird. Takes a while to get use to but i think it's pretty cool. it gives you the power right when you need it without having that rough transition of gears that normal automatics undergo. I would have gotten the manual transmission but I commute back and forth in bumper to bumper traffic.

as for your post, i'm sure someone with a 6MT will chime in and let you know what speed is at 3K

6th gear will get you to 90mph at 3k rpm

Thank you guys for the answer. 90 mph sounds like sex in my ears!

I'm still tripping about the 110+mph on the cvt though..crazy stuff.
