when i have a car with 5th gear, i shift a long ways before 65 mph..

i shift 5th gear as soon as i can use it.. witch is usually around 30 or 40 mph..

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I'm always cruising around in 5th at 35-40mph (ACH) Getting onto the highway I'm usually shifting out of 4th around 60-65 though. I think the fastest I've gone in 4th is around 70mph. With no governor or tach I'm scared to take it much faster in 4th...

it will still only pull to a certain RPM then the rollers in the pump skip.. its just like hitting the governor again..

4th for me pushes out to about 130 km/h and she's got nothing left.

for a n/a, that sounds about right..

i could go 100 mph on a long straight stretch with my 4A and 1.6n/a..

now my car only goes about 115, but it gets there in a hurry. i got a GC box in here now, hate it. its like driving a 5 speed box with a blown up 5th gear.
