That doesn't sound too bad. Anyone with 4.10s?

Must be the mods you have on your car cause that sounds a bit low for 3.73's. I would be running higher RPM's with my stock gears. I run about 2100 RPM's @ 75mph.

MustangSBA, did you get your speedo recalibrated? You might actually be going much slower than that.

Yes I agree....that doesn't compute....according to some of the gear ratio calculators your running around 66mph @ 2100RPM's

Yeah that sounds about right ........ It was a pretty good guess that I made earlier about the 3.73's running around 2600 @75 mph

I don't remember if the speedo gear was ever put in actually...I'll have to have one of my friends keep pace with me some time...Or find one of those "Your speed is" things that the police department uses. I'm definitely going pretty fast though, as in passing most people. Either that or when I bought the car the guy was full of crap and it still has stock gears. In that case...I'm actually kind of happy because the car is fast as **** now, and knowing that I can make it pull alot harder makes me happy, lol.
