Default Quick question

I am looking in to getting a 2000 GT Convertible and was wondering what the red line speeds were for one?

Thanks in advance.

i think they are speed limited at like 153 or something, im not sure you want to go much faster than that in a stock gt tho.

The "redline" is at 5750rpm. You'd be better off shifting 5300-5500.

depends on the gear ratio also, but i think zw99 is about right. you dont wanna shift at redline as previously stated though, theres no power when you get near 5400-redline

Oh yea. Forgot to add that. Those speeds are only if you have stock gearing.
