got bored on a drive.... here's proof: 3rd gear, 80mph

little blurry..... used my camera phone:



3rd gear, over 80mph, under 6,000 rpm's..... you can imagine that i would hit 110mph at 7800 rpm's

fun fun. my old 5 speed ranger hit 90 in 3rd aroudn 6k-6.5k...at the rev limiter. it also reached 92 in 4th and 91 in 5th :-p (where HP=drag. underpowered 4 banger POS grumble grumble) since i accidentally started it in 3rd more than once when i was really tired, i suppose i could say it could be driven in 1 gear.

the ae92 is a 5 speed..... it's a c52... probably from an ae102

Just a bit of trivia: A modern sportbike can do almost 80mph in 1st gear. And there's still 5 gears remaining. Then again we're talking about a 16000+ RPM redline.
At that RPM each spark plug flashes at 133 times per second.
You computer monitor is flashing at about 80 times per second (depending on the setting)

hmmm... you're giving me ideas Thomas.

My car has got it the other way around. 5 cylinders and 4 speeds
