Speed @ 4600 RPM



    With stock size tires 4600 rpm in 5th gear with an 84 transaxle 105
mph. To get 120 mph you would need to see 5300 on the tachometer. To
calculate MPH from RPM you would use 22.5 MPH per 1000 RPM. If you have
different tires then you need to adjust the calculations for the
different overall diameter. You also must be aware that the most GTV6
tachometer is usually off. Unless you have an after market tachometer or
the factory unit has been calibrated I would not trust your RPM
readings. Hope this helps.
