i need you to test somethin for me. due to my speedo bein broken and still havin to use the car, i need the blanks filling in... 20mph = ? 30mph = 3rd gear at 2000rpm 40mph = 4th gear at 2000rpm 50mph = ? 60mph = 5th gear at ? 70mph = 5th gear at ? please help, my licence depends on it!! (i reckon it'll be somethin in 5th for 50 and somethin in 2nd 20) its a car on standard wheels as well.
well i also know that just over 6000rpm is 150mph. on the flat, still pulling!!! had to back up due to traffic (on my private race track! - at 7a.m. on a sun morning). also, started worrying about the tyres overheating...they were rated to 147mph i think! Edited by: acf8181
The rev limiter cuts in at 140 in 4th gear on the Corrado, not a lot of help to you I know but I found it funny
Don't know what top end is on the Corrado.. I bottled out at 220kph (137.5 I think)... still pulling very strongly... Private roads are great...
Well mine put out about 400bhp and tops out at around the 180mph mark. b*****ks, i havent been over 120mph yet and i couldnt see the rev counter at that speed because of my small steering wheel.
here was me thikin that with all these new post's that someone would have 'filled in the blanks'!!! someone please, please tell me what 50mph is...thats the important one as i'm goin to stoke tonight and i know there's roadworks on the motorway with 50 limit and gatso's.
acf, you can work it out by the revs mate. If 145mph is at 5900rpm in Tuff Shmitts car (and he has the same setup as you) then all you have to do is divide 5900 by 145 = 40.689655172413793103448275862069 then times that by the speed you want to find out, and it'll give you the revs. eg: 50mph = (40.689... X 50) = 2034 revs approx. then you can work out all speeds, as long as you have a point of reference in each gear!
i'm not a mathematical genius unfortunatly, so 50mph is about 2000rpm in fifth then? what about 70mph?
70mph is gonna be 2034/50 X 70 = 2847.6 RPM odd. Just divide the revs by the speed (the revs and speed that you know is right) then times it by the new speed you want to know the RPM of.
ok, well if it doesnt exist, then is one of you can give a reference point in 5th 4th and 4rd gears, then acf will have all his speeds and revs he needs.
the rev limiter in 2nd should be just about 70mph so just go all the way in 2nd bouncing off the limiter! or more sensibly, have fun charging up to the limiter then short change to 5th and see what revs youre doing
well, i managed to get here (stoke) without gettin done for speeeding. couldn't be bothered with the speed limit (as i didn't accuratly know it!) so just went flat out...even got wheelspin over a bump at 5000rpm in 5th (130??) - but that was on the test track up here
Bear in mind that Tuff Schmitt "borrowed" someones car while they were on holiday and took it out for a little test drive
