Since my Mx-3 is in storage for the winter

I can't test it outmyself, but is there any documentation or does anyone who what is the max speed in each gear (redline) for an MTX GS?

No way, I've hit 210km/h before and there was still a ways to go, 220km/h (138mph) should be possible, I think max speed in the MX-3 MTX is 240km/h as marked on the speedo, there are plenty of threads listing that like information, but i'm looking at the speeds of gears 1-5, first and second specifically

uhh did you happen to notice your "possible" speed and the fastest speed he did is the same?

1st is about 30mph. I know that second gear redlines at 60 mph b/c I use it all the time. I use the end of second gear to know when to stop accelerating as to not get a ticket. Third I think is about 85mph and 4th is about 110. Also, fifth gear redlines at about 135 I think. The fuel cut isn't untill 7500 so you can push the car past redline (7000). Be careful not to do that though, the car cannot safely handle over 7,000 RPM.

Possibly as in easy to get there, i was over 210 and i still had plenty of tach left...240km\h should be easilly attainable

I reached 230 in my 1.8 (TORONTO TO WINDSOR IN 1hr25mins.WOW)but no idea with the KLZE....I was cruising a 5000 doing 180 yesturday morning though. I'm running the 1.8 tranny on KLZE

XxantwawnxX · Post by **XxantwawnxX** » December 1st, 2005, 1:32 pm

I had no tach left at 137-138mph and ive did it more than once, so im SURE my car redlines in 5th gear at 138. Not sure what kinda tranny you got but it aint mine....heh all this km talk is making me confused lol.

137-8mph is 230km...LOL. I just did the math.

Hmm..I think we should have gotten 6 speed =( to pin the mph/kmh needle.

In My friend Pauls ZE (with some mods) We hit 140 with some pull left in 5th, lil too fast for interstate traffic, so we slowed down.

Top speed will all depend on the tranny you are running along with what size tires you are running.

Stock MX-3 Tranny (4.38 Final) with 205-50/15 will top out at ~139 MPH
Ive tried this many times...haha.

Stock MX-6 Tranny (4.11 Final) with 205-50/15 will top out at ~149 MPH
I don't have my computer program in front of me or else i could tell you
the exact MPH

But you can always mix it up and change your gearing like that. I have always changed my tire size to mess with my gearing...its easy and alot cheaper than changing a tranny.
