Want proof ill take a video of it.
at 7500 rpm my car would be doing 155-160 (If The Straight Away Was Long Enough) my tire size is 215/45RZ17 87w.
I dont even care about the speed you stated here ... just show me a video of your K8 doing 7500 rpm in 5th gear ... and i will believe you.

If you pass the 7000 rpm mark, you could send firework... "i did 7500" lolol
dont make me laugh :wink:

lol. I


finally did 150 at 718(?) with the Kia Sephia Transmission. The SAFC was blinking (starts blinking at 7000), I was going 150 so I don't know the last RPM but it was def scarey on the road I was on. It was a up and down back road up through the corn fields... besides being scarey.... Oh and I have a vid of me doing 140 at 6550 RPM (BTW anyone else notice that a factory tach is off by close to 500rpm? When my SAFC reads off 6550 my guage is at 7000, when I hit MSD spark cut at 7200 it reads 7800 on my tach..) in Nevada. It was 115 outside and I was way up in the mountains... My guage was super rich and my EGT was down almost 1200 degrees....
