my CL does 108 exactly at 3000rpm

does this seem odd to anyone other than me? especially when there is a 1000cc difference to a VR6!!!

I'm going to have to check this but my gearing if in 5th gear is just under 3000rpms at 100kph I think!

Also mine goes both up exactly the same time in fifth gear

Nup, mines at 3000 in 5th at 100. Dont know what your 2500rpm thing is about??

geez guys that means a heck of a lot of fuel...

Indeed

Oh and my old exhaust used to drone baaaaaaaadly at 90 or 110, but at 100 it was perfect.
Found out it was a straight-through system though, so thats probably why!
Ditched the rear "muffler" for an actual muffler and the drone is all gone.

Mine does 2600rpm at 100km/h. Nice, quiet and stock

I was going to say your VR6 does 3k at 100kph?

Mine does about 120kph at 3k rpm i'm sure of it. Try a corolla with a 4AGE, 3800rpm at 110kph lol

I had a look at this on the freeway this morning while I was going to work and Tims right I thought not though lol, I was at 100kph and I was just under or at 2600rpms.

Makes me think thats something is wrong with others if thats what they are getting!

**bboyskidz** · 21-09-2007, 09:10 AM

yeh that sounds alot better... i was going to say, i'm up to about 470km now and i reckon i've still got about 15-20L let in the tank.

3000rpm at 100km/h is what my car does and there is almost half the amount of engine in mine.... lol
