Max Speed for the 2n and 3d Gear

I just was merging on the HW and I decided to punch it in D5. I need to know what is the Max Max Speed for the 2n and 3d Gear?

I guess mine shifted at 68 to 3rd and I think that it will shfit to 4th at 105 to 110. Never did that!

Good thing we pass the 1/4 mile in 3rd!

2nd Gear Max - 70-73 Mph
3rd Gear Max - 107-110 Mph

Depending on mods you can get closer to the top end of those limits.

I got the same -- I know cause I tried.

I must admit that this value is the speedo reading, not the actual speed. One of the members did a AAA test and found the speedo of his car showing 60 with AAA saying it was 58-59 mph.

There are going to be variations in each cars speedo as well.

man, that's crazy!!!

Everytime I read about how fast Type-S can go in 2nd and 3rd gears, I go crazy...

My CL-P stats are as follows:
1st gear max speed: 35mph
2nd gear max speed: 65mph
3rd gear max speed: 90mph

what blows is that if i'm crusing on the road at 50mph, and i wanna jam it into 2nd, the ECU will restrict it (the 3 flashes)... so if i want 2nd, I gotta let off the gas first.
