120 kph at around 3100 revs in 5 gear.

04 Mazda 6 1.8L - I'm fairly sure mine does closer to 3,500 in 5th gear. I hope it's not sick.

Something wrong there :P

Wish it had a 6th gear!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it...why would you want to know what rpm your engine does at 120kph? If its a fuel economy thing, there's a lot more behind a fuel map than just engine speed.

My old Fiat 126 had a max speed of 105kph with a favourable breeze, a steep slope and a solid set of rosary beads. At that stage, I'd imagine it's little "flat 2" was throwing out all of its 24 horses at about 4,500rpm, just like washing machine on wheels would do.

Why, because it interests me. If your not interested, why reply? This is a motors forum after all.
I once had a 2003 1.4 civic that buzzed down the motorway at 4000rpm at the speed limit and it became tiresome. My current car doesn't & i'll be sure my next car is the same

Every car is different
that's what interests me
any micras here in the redline

ah but why would that make a difference? if you put it in neutral it would but otherwise the engine will keep rotating at whatever revs but use no fuel

and gradually slow down as the speed drops

Mine actually drops very quickly (and gains too when you floor it), it's a CVT.

Suppose it depends on the gradient but I think you're well off there. I have a 2002 1.4l Focus at get 120kmph in 5th year with 3000-3200

MK4 Golf 1.4
At 120 is usually sitting at around 3700 to 3800. Will do it in 4th at approx 4600rpm
In fifth it will hit 135 at 4000rpm. I don't like to push it past 4000 as it then starts drinking juice like it's going out of fashion.

1977 Ford Escort 1.3 4 speed - 5200rpm at 120kph. And thanks to the trusty crossflow, it'll rev higher......

1979 Ford Escort RS2000 4 speed - a little under 4000rpm at 120kph/74.56mph. The pinto will rev much higher too.

The RS has a 3.54 diff, while mine has a 4.1 (I think). That's the difference as we both have the same gearing in fourth (direct top)

Off topic but for comparison I had a look today on my bike:
120km/h @ 10,000 rpm 6th gear!

I'd have thought you'd be lower than me, 3500?

Sure VTEC's are high revving, and it don't redline till 8600. Cronin_j's is higher than mine

What's your rev limiter? Mine hits red at 8600 and it hits the limiter at about 9700 ish

Trying to remember, think it hits red at 600/6500, continues on till 7500, havent gone further but shows 9000

My car can't do 120kmph unfortunately...
Actually it can, i've done more than 140kmph in that but at those speeds I'm more focused on slowing the car down to stop it from rattling itself apart than I'm checking out the rev counter...

Though I do know it does 2500rpm at 80kmph in 5th gear... I think... I may be wrong... Haven't driven it in a while...

I was thinking about putting a decat into my dc2, but if you find it loud in the dc5 I can only imagine what mine would be like!!!

I had one in my DC2 back in the day, it was loud as hell and increased fuel consumption quite a lot!
