    So if my tach is reading 4100 or so when I am going down the interstate in my stock 5-speed festiva, am I speeding? :twisted: How fast am I going? My speedo only goes to 85... :lol:
    If my math is correct you should be doing about 160 km/hr (100 mph) :shock: :shock:

    I think I like metric.... 160 sounds so much faster than 100.

      Ive had mine over 4000 RPM before and I was topped out. I think 100mph is pretty close to top speed for a stock festiva. No worry about over reving in fifth.

          I think DJ once posted a cop friend of his clocked him at 104 mph on a slight down grade. Its been a while ago though.
