My car STILL doesn't feel like its moving as freely as it could. I haven't gotten any good opinions yet on it and finally got a picture of what I mean. I'm just trying to compare to other people's cars so I can know if I'm just crazy, or it really isn't moving fast enough.
*I didn't take this picture - I'm not dumb*
That's 5th gear
Does anyone else's car run at 4000 rpms at only 80 mph? I swear when I bought the car it was going at 80mph at just under 3 grand.
There is no way youd be under 3 grand doing 80MpH... Your transmission dictates your RPMs relative to the speed, nothing else does. The only way something else would change it is if your clutch was going and slipping, which would just cause your RPMs to raise and you not gain any speed... And trust me, youd notice that to be the clutch quickly.
If you mean "it isnt moving fast enough" .. and youre doing 80MpH and people are passing you, they are just fu*king retards and speeding like crazy. I wont bitch at you for doing 80 because Ive been guilty of doing it once and awhile too, but if you think thats slow on a public road.. then get your ass on a track and try for some real speed.
THANK YOU EVERYONE seriously I've been racking my brain thinking something was wrong. I guess I was just so overjoyed to own an SE-R when i bought it, it felt faster. But this wasn't me racing or anything, I was on I-295 S coming home and got my friend to take a picture for you guys so I could give a clear idea as to what I meant. I'm glad thats finally cleared up.
That being taken care of, it's time for me to go get some redline trans fluid >=D
i felt same way with my car...when i got it it felt faster...and now it seems a lil slower, thats why ive been upgrading. now im trying to trade some stuff for a 93 b13 ser thats black like my b14...be ool to have matching cars but diff body styles..
i dont know, but i see the redline at around 7100K around there. maybe it was just the picture taken that made it look like that. but everything else looks correct.

Actually, 7150rpm, so that they reach 63mph (100kph) in 2nd.
