A question about speed reading at 5th gear - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

gorgeousgeorge · 11-08-2010

Hi.

I am a new owner of a ZR-1(1991) and am enjoying it every weekend. I am very happy now

BTW, please let me ask you a beginner question. I would like to know whether the rear end of my ZR-1 is normal or not.

When I accelerate my ZR1 to 7000 rpm with 5th gear, the GPS speedometer reads 223.9 km/h(about 140 mph).

Is this normal?
Is the max speed of ZR-1 accomplished by 6th gear?

I am wondering if the rear end ratio of my ZR-1 is normal or not.

*the rear tires are Nitto NT555(315/35-17).
*the original speedometer reads about 219 km/h(136 mph) at 7000 rpm with 5th gear.

Thanks in advance.
