I hit 69 in second. It is a 70+ gear. A guy on here was talking about getting it to 74 by bumping on the rev limiter a few times....i wouldn't recommend it!

Definetely 2nd, I love running up slowly on someone at 6k rpm, like I've got nothing left. Then ripping it loose right next to them and flying away

theoretically it has a top speed over 75 at 9krpm's. I have a spreadsheet that uses tire diameter and gear ratio to calculate top speed. So 69 in second seems easy enough. If it stays dry today...I will try it and tell you if I can get above 70 in second...i'm sure I can.

also i checked the accuracy by looking at 6th gear at 70 mph...it looks very accurate... if you have a broke in s2000...just try it...it isn't bad for it to redline.
