haha :lol: you're hilarious. the only problem with that is that the speedo only goes to 120 mph. thats why i asked how to calculate it. and no its past 120. my speedo is pretty accurate and it was way past 120.anyone know how to really tell me how fast it is?

According to http://www.zealautowerks.com/transcalc.php a JDM B16 Tranny and Stock height wheels @ 7500 in 5th would be doing 149mph.

However if you had a Del Sol VTEC USDM 99-00 Si Tranny it would be 139 @ 7500.

thanks chrono. you win :woot: that sounds about right to me. you've been VERY helpful with any questions that i've had. i really appreciate that. and that speed calculator is awesome. i'm definately adding it to my favorites. once again thanks chrono. now we can watch the other two guys argue over the meaning of 120-ish. this should be fun :roll:
