Stock VTR RPM at 70mph?

[Slyboogie]

Just wondered what RPM your VTR's do at 70mph, I have VTR wheels fitted with 185 55 14 tires and I get 3200rpm which seems high to me? Always find myself looking for another gear! So wondered if perhaps its got the wrong box on it ie maybe a 1.4 box with closer ratio's (i'm not up on french boxes yet).

Thanks :)

In 5th gear? What you said, around 3200-3500 or so. Mine's stock, no performance mods at all. VTR standard wheels are 14 inch anyway... So don't see why that would effect revs.

mine sits at about 3300 rpm with just a back box i think i will check on my way to work tomorrow ... it sits at 3800 at 80 :/

All sounds about right then. Only said about wheel size as it does make a small difference.

Well that sucks. Drinks fuel at 70 :\

It shouldnt drink fuel if your maintaining 70 on a motorway..

Best sig ever. edit - your sig, not that quote as a sig lol

x2 on the fuel

my 16v with 1.1 box got 42mpg when I drove to land's end - that sit's at 3.5k @ 70mph. No lambda's / fuel return :y:
