<img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> Nice day in Chicago today. I ran my 00 TA to redline in third gear and made a solid shift to 4th. I've never ran 3rd that far before and had no idea how fast the car feels. I had no time to look at the my speed before getting off the throttle and throwing the anchor out the window. This is an M6 with 3.42s. I thought I may have hit 100 MPH. Anybody know? Thanks. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I think that 6200 in 3rd gear is 110 or so.

You should try 6,700 rpm in 4th with a 3.42 - that's about 140-142 mph. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Parnlyp - 140 mph isn't as bad as you might think, our cars are very stable at those speeds. As long as you're not on skinnies you shouldn't be too worried. Just find a nice stretch of road with no on ramps leading to it, if you're rollin @ 60 mph you'll be there in no time. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

6200 in 3rd w/ 3.42s is 108, assuming F1s 275/40/17 (25.6"). In theory of course.
My car has seen 135 and it does come up quick! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

155 with the t-tops off....shifted to 6th and it slowed down. have yet to try a top end run with the turbo but our cars do feel rock stable at 135mph.

You need to try 2.73 gears in OD at 5600 rpm. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Don't know how fast it is. Damn <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" /> speedo ran out. I need a 200mph speedo <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
