Default 72 MPH @ 3000rpm - Normal???

My friend complained to me how his accord was going *slightly* over 3000rpm @ 80mph.
When I looked at my needles yesterday, I was only going 72mph at 3000rpm !!!

I have an automatic so I can only assume I'm in the highest gear. WHat speed do you all get at 3000rpm, in high gear?

well in all of the integra lines the gearing is different, GSR revs 4k at 80mph for example, and 70mph at 3k, the ITR revs higher at 80mph. (I dont know where though)

Accords don't redline at 7000rpms like integras do. Proportionally speaking, you are fine.

stop talking out of your ass cause people rely on the information they get in a forum. ya it revs 4k at 80, but 3k at 70? even if you had a custom made tranny i dont think thats possible. at 3k your at 60 mph. its called math. try using it some time.
