correction
3100rpm @ 80mph
2700 @ 70mph
2300 @ 60mph
1900 @ 50mph
redline is 6200,
2.4 liter, 5 cylinder, twin cam, 20 valve.
over geared? When my wife drives it, she complains that it doesn't have any power - but she expects the power in the lower RPM, and being naturally aspirated, it makes the best power between 4k & 6k rpm.
I'm just not sure how well it would pull it's self if it was geared much higher.
