    why are you doing 115 anyway? do you own a private airfield.

    it wont pull hard at that speed anyway, its minimal.

    Your not expecting to bounce of the limiter in 5th gear are you as this is pretty unachieveable in most cars unless they are tuned to a really high performance than the gearbox can handle and this way you would be therefore limited by the gearbox ratio's

    i heard that if u stick a mars bar in ur induction pipe you go faster as it gets vital energy to the car, a mars a day helps you vtr play

    mine will do 60 in second gear, and it pulls at 115 over to 130 on a flat runway.

    ok i know where this is going.




    from adsayer - 5th gear on the VTR box is an overdrive gear hence why it cant be topped out on a standard engine
