how far can u manual drivers take your gears?

[Eugene]

just curious, i can take my first gear to 25 and my second to only about 45-50 mph... i've heard people cruisin to 60 on second, is there something wrong with my tranny? i usually shift at 5500 rpm...

if i go to redline... mine is like this...


1st gear to 30mph
2nd gear to 60mph..


uhh..i forget 3rd gear.. but i believe its 80mph
4th gear tops out my car...and speed limiter kicks in @around 115-120mph

I believe (cannot find the exact numbers) that GM has changed the transmission gear ratios from time to time, so the speeds achievable will change.

((I know that this is not for me, since I am an auto, but still, I wanted to respond.))

First: 40
Second: 80
Third: 120
Fourth: Gas Gears

I can take 3rd somewhere north of 90mph if I recall correctly. I usually don't look to see how fast I'm going, I either glance at the tach or wait for the shift light to come on if I'm into it WOT ;)
