Hello,
Bit of a daft question but I can't find the answer elsewhere. In the standard Atom what speed would you be doing between 5-5500 rpm?
Thank you

No such thing as a standard Atom.....they range from 160bhp to 350bhp (excluding the mighty V8).

Most new(ish) ones are either 245bhp N/A or 310bhp Supercharged

My 310bhp would be doing approx. 100mph in 5th at those revs..............on a track obviously!

Although.... The gearing in the atom is standard, regardless of which model you have.

5000 rpm in an atom 3 or 3.5 in 5th gear will be around 80 mph. The gearing is very short.
