If you can give me the ratios and diff gear in your car and what tyres your running (be specific) I can tell you what you should expect.

BTW, at 100 the T is actually going 97, and at 110, 106 is the real speed according to both wheels and motor.......

All of my figures have been done at 6000 rpm, and I know that the standard I6 only gets to 5800 but meh...

If you want a more realistic figure just tell me what limit.... I could write a VB6 program if you guys wanted, and it would work everything out for us.... Could be handy and good for future reference and comparisons......

Nice offer - but it isn't really rocket science to work it out with the formula I posted ... most people own a calculator, or at least a computer with one included, or a phone with one included, or a watch with one included, anyhow you get my drift??? :spoton:

Wouldn't it be user to take the speed travelled in second gear of the current car and adjust it for the chage in ratio? ie speed of mk2 second = speed of mk1 second x (3.45/3.73) x (mk1/mk2 second gear).

If I had the numbers, I'd do it my self, pretty simple

according to my calulations:

Mk1 = 68.5km/h @ 6000rpm in 1st

Mk2 = 70.7km/h @ 6000rpm in 1st

and second gear:

Mk2 = 105km/h @ 6000rpm
