When redlining the car what is the most you get out of every gear? would appreciate if someone posts all six speeds, trying to do a type r comparisson, 1st 39mph 2nd 72mph 3rd 102mph 4th 122 5th 143mph, thanks!!!

 

43.2
65.7
90.9
116.1
139.5
166.5

 

Chris, I thought several people have posted roughly 147 as top for 5th??

 

90mph on third seems kind of low, are you really pushing the car to its limits?

Somebody check it.. I just cut and pasted out of a spreadsheet I have.

 

nah, just to redline

Consider... the 1st gear in the S is a bit long, but the rest are closely spaced...

I stayed in 3rd and redline it to the limiter just to know what the max speed was...

someday, I'll get on the open road and find out the rest of the speeds

or maybe the track, where the S truly belongs...

 

It has a close ratio gearbox, mostly for handling on the track (God I wish there was one nearby >)

 

hmmm, I remember at TWS, fourth was pushing between 122 and 123 for me - I didn't want to go into 5th most of the time and instead concentrate on setting up the first bend and just let it peg the fuel cut off at the end of the straight for a few seconds - then again that day the air was thick. Somedays, in 'other' places, I can only get it to reach 118 or 119 - it really depends on the density of the day, but then again, these are only from my observations.

 

what?

 

Don't trust your speedo, it is highly optimistic. Even at 60 mph its reading a couple mph fast. At higher speeds the inaccuracy grows - you could easily be off 5 mph at 120 mph indicated.

The ITR numbers posted are also incorrect for a stock ITR. The stock ITR does not hit 72 mph in 2nd gear.
