At what speed do you guys get the RPM to go to 4000 or 5000 rpm? I was at 160km/hr and I believe i was only at 3500rpm..I saw the fuel gauge sinking rather quickly and took my foot off the gas. I was pretty much stepping all the way down on the gas pedal..I am not so sure i could have gotten the TSX to go faster. Mind you..i drive an 2005 Automatic TSX..

are your experiiences similar to mine?



any input?

 

Put it into SS mode

 

Depends what gear you are in?

 

assuming 6th gear I cruise at 80 at 3200 so i'm guessing around 90 at 4000? Although the AT is only 5 gears, correct?

 

I have a 5AT and I've found that I can was actually able to achieve a higher top speed in 4th gear vs. 5th gear. I was able to hit 137 mph last week.

 

I HAVE AN AT TRANSMISSION.,..IN 5TH GEAR.. I ONLY GOT 160KM/HR

how do you get it to rev so high?

 

1- see post 2

2- Downshift

 

Yes i did put into ss gear..but i was already in 5th gear becauase i was already going over 100km/hr. So all i could do was push down on the gas pedal some more...which ate alot of gas...so i naturally let go on the gas pedal to ease up on the gas consumption.

but when i pressed down on the gas..it did not really get the rpm high up to 4000 rpm or 5000rpm

 

See step 2

 

And unfortunatly, high RPM's and good gas milage do not go hand in hand

 

I have an MT. I'm pretty sure that at 90 I'm not up to 4k yet.

 

THere's something wrong with your car dude...... I have AT too....and i took it to 230km/hr no problem.....

even before break in, i took the car in D mode to 160km/hr revving under 3k.... nad it was still willing to go up..... no way should it stay at 160~
