My Megane used to sit at about 3800 at 70. The only time I took it above 95 and it was around about 6000k. Then the head belw and it was never the same again ![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)

Not too sure what a tonne is in mine, quite high though cos it has short gears, 80 is 4000!![EEK!](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
The flip side is that I can ride through 30s in 5th, can drop to 20 - 25 too if needs be, great if you're a lazy ****** like me!![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

What are the numbers for a RR Silver Seraph - I seem to remember that that was geared to something like 40mph/1000 rpm and the 6 speed box in the Corvette/Lotus Carlton was equally ludicrous (or am I just talking ****?).

have video too.
My '73 Triumph GT6 (stage 2 head - 1.7 SUs - Triumph 2000 g/b)
100 @ 6000rpm in 3rd + o/d
100 @ 5900rpm in 4th
100 @ 4300rpm in 4th + o/d
not bad for a 30yr old car!

Badge,
if 100mph is @ 2100rpm, then assuming a rev limiter at 6500rpm and no artificial speed limitation, that should produce a capability of 309.52mph.
which was nice.
could it have been kph?
that would have given a capability of 193mph.
much more possible.
