That's better than my '99 Z24. That hits 3000RPM at 70-75 I think.

More like between 135 and 138. 5th is horrible for any type of pull trying to top the car out but it has just enough kick that you don't really have to downshift to forth to pass someone in traffic.

I accidently made it to 140 at 4th because i was used to my 93 integra which have to be in 5th gear to hit 140.. So i forgot. i redline it for a half sec and shift up.. Running w/ 05 accord coupe, didnt pay attention to my tech.
Never had a car that hit that high mileage on 4th. Sometime still forget to shift to five

Actually i think 5th gear at 80 is 3000 rpm, i could be wrong but i usually pop it in 5th and hit 80 then flip on cruise control, and i remember the rpm being 3000
And if ur going to pass some1 going slower then you, then you wont need to down shift it has enough pull to get you to 90-100 n half throttle in around 3 seconds or so. if u really need power just go to 4th and you will fly.
And ya the supercharger isn’t so great for high end power, mostly torque and low end.
But it is relatively loud if u compare the stock exhaust to any other cars.

shifting to 3rd at 80mph is nice for power!
