Cool What happened???

This ain't a problem, actually I wouldn't mind if it happened again. I was going down the highway at 110km/h, downshifted in third to pass someone and I kept it in third till 140

It never, never braught me up to 140. Usually the rev limiter stops me at 130. How the hell could I have went so fast on third??? Colder temp??

Now if only I knew what those speeds were in MPH... *converts* So you got to about 87 MPH in 3rd...surprisingly enough, that's not to shabby. I know for the most part, 3rd will only get you as high as 80~. Could've been a variety of things so who knows. I just wish 2nd would hold to at least 60 MPH.

The computer can't adjust gearing in a manual transmission. Wind direction, slight decline...who knows?

That was my guess, hence attributing it to a "variety of things".

That's what I taught... Still can't beleive I went that fast on my third though. I'm doing the same trip tonight, so I'll see if it does it again.
