RE: 95 MPH @ 5800 RPM

["Ev-Arch1" <mdg36@domain.elided>]

Yes, i was jus funnin---but, assuming you have everything stock, including
wheels &tires, you should be about 4290 rpm at 95 mph in fifth gear. [about
22.14 mph per 1000 rpm]. At an indicated
5800 rpm you'd be goin 128 mph--neglectin all the airodinamics,
frictionalistis loosses, etc.
Seems your dials ain't workin rite. try a measured mile/stopwatch or one of
dem gps thingys.

I'm assuming you are joking, but just for the record I'm
in 5th gear.
