You want to try driving 25 miles to work on UK roads, if I managed to get above 4000 rpm i'm happy.

You can do 80 mph at 4,200 rpm in 6th gear.

That predicts that you can do 100 mph at 5,250 rpm in 6th gear.

You can drive 50 miles or more in LA without VTECing since the traffic is so bad. The freeway onramps though, that's a different story

18 mph/1000 rpm in 6th = 100 mph @ 5555 rpm.
