Re: speed in 5th gear, 3000rpm
Do a fifth gear swap if you're concerned, or want a higher top speed... not sure if its smart to go much faster than 190 though. Theres lotta info on here.

Re: speed in 5th gear, 3000rpm
@4000rpm goes around 130km/h but the engine is louder and I dont think it would last long if I drive it like that on mororway. I need the car for a few more years

Re: speed in 5th gear, 3000rpm
ehm if it's leaking oil you should have it fixed.
if the engine is in good shape, it shouldn't have any problems with driving 4000rpm for hours, as long as there is oil and cool water it should be fine.

Re: speed in 5th gear, 3000rpm
Okay maybe it's "only" 4000rpm @ 140Km/h, I don't really remember
But I don't get what an oil leak have to do with the transmission ? you could still do 180Km/h with a car that's leaking oil
it has nothing to do with the speed the car is traveling at xxxx rpm

Re: speed in 5th gear, 3000rpm
leaking oil=bad headgasket=bad compression
so it is a bit slower but not that much.
@4000prm engine is louder than other cars, I feel like killing it

Re: speed in 5th gear, 3000rpm
Yes the engine is a bit loud compared to normal "family" cars, but it's supposed to be a "sports" car, just drive it belowe 3000rpm then it's quiet
but if the headgasket is damaged don't drive the car or you could ruin the whole engine
