I'd say that you are the dumb one buying an automatic.

i didnt think they would be that torquey, and it must redline pretty low

The redline on the RAM Cummins is 3200 I think.:eek:

Truck might hit 100kmh, my dad's car can go ~200. The Porsche might go ~150 (I dunno, ask 962 kid).

112kph @ 6500rpm redline.. about 60kph in first.... and i think it was something like 140-150 in third... topped out at 196kph... slow car on straights, fun to drive through corners though, I only wish I knew how to manage understeer with skill.

About 90km/hr at 7000, maybe 100 if it hit the fuel cut-off.

57 mph @ 7000 rpm... short gearing at it's finest.

Why are you avoiding this question,Madsella ?? :dunno:

Any REAL racer would know this...



Me: ~120km/h @ 5200 RPM

That means you still have the stock 2.73 gears.

Any REAL racer would have at least 3.73 gears.

Diesels kick ass. More tq than a VR6 with just a chip. Go smoke.:thumbsup:

And yes unfortunetly the bike is the machine at 200+ in second. But I have another 4 to go after that. See ya.

I have never actually been to the track, so maybe i am not a racer in your terms because i dont have a 1/4mile time to brag about. And I do have stock 2.73 gears, i would like to get 3.73s but I invested my money in Air Ride instaed. Soooooory if I am not a racer acording to you, I never really claimed to be a racer, i just ment 'when you are bagging your car' how fast do you go in 2nd.

In the Nova being a Manumatic (Hurst Ratchet shifter which I usually shift manually because it's more fun.)... I have no clue.. especially since with the 3.73's the speedo is way off.. the GTP is auto. I guess I'm stupid for buying automatics... too bad the GTP only come in auto's.

02-02-2005, 01:19 PM
^^^ I'm pretty sure that everyone is just saying how fast they CAN do in second, not what speed they do in everyday driving. I know for one i shift at about 50km into third.
