I know this is a silly technical question but,

[nutcase]

Does anyone have the maximum speed quoted for each gear in a standard speed six? Just curious what it pulls in each ratio, thats all.

BTW, on private property (obviously...) what is the most anyone has had out of their Tuscan?

Cheers.

Well in my 4 mile long asphalt driveway, I have had 150ish in 4th max...

[nutcase]

150ish in fourth? Not bad! In my Chimaera 4.0L, it would get to about 125 at 5500rpm in fourth, then you'd hook 5th and the acceleration would almost subside. Does the Tuscan want to keep going, even at 150 when you do get 5th gear?

That could be a world record...150+ on your DRIVEWAY!! How cool is that. I can't imagine what your back garden in like!

Hi mr anorak here the figs you want are as follows
1ST 49mph
2ND 73mph
3RD 107mph
4TH 144mph
5TH gearing for 180
All @ 7200 rpm

[whatever]

We should be able to make a reasonable estimate knowing the gear ratios and final ratio -- they're in the handbook, aren't they?

Cheers Tony,

Shame you sold your car so quickly (for me anyway) I emailed you last week about it...
