Hi,
My dad has a MR2 non turbo rev1 import from Japan, the speedo only shows 115mph or 184km/h. Its automatic, and once we had it off the clock and were crusing at about 5000rpm, roughly how fast were we going?

Thanks

Si

about 100-105 mph would be my guess.

Well it was off the clock at 115mph/3500rpm -ish

wow 115 at 3500?? mine hits 115 at 4000-4500. probably closer to 4500. But my guess at 5000 for my car anyway..which tops out at 140 on speedometer..uhhhh..5000..uhhh..125? I havent taken min past 115 due to the extremely bad tires..which =VERY rough ride and VERY hard to control. Well, yeah probably around 125-130. But its an automatic and i should kill ya for it..=P. And an automatic is probably different. As shown by your 115 being at 3500rpm. And if its stop you accually have a cut off at 127 i believe..but that is in a manual i dunno if autos are the same in that area or not.

The speedo is NOT accurate, especially at higher speeds.
