I used to own a '95 GT automatic and it ran way lower RPM's to get the same speed as my '99 GT Manual. Anybody else at 4000RPM's at 80 miles an hour? Could there be something wrong with my tranny or is it just in the gearing?
-Negative By the way my '99 manual is way faster than my old sluggish automatic which was the whole point in selling my '95. --------------------  |

Ok, I tested al this data as best I could after the Austin Tx. Car show this weekend. There does not appear to be a rev limiter in my '99 GT I got to around 120MPH at around 5250RPM. As for stability - I felt stable as hell and my friend in his MKIII Supra backed off before I did. I was still pulling on him at 115MPH (his Supra is n/a of course). Traffick did not permit any higher speeds but we made the trip from Austin to San Antonio in record time! We buzzed a very pissed off Porche 911 (approx. '90 model), a Z3 roadster and blew the doors off some riced out civics who by the way cannot touch a Toyota when we are already at high speeds (is this called 'top end' right).
Anybody from this sight who is ever in the Eastern Texas area I am extending an open invitation to race this very scenic run. There are absolutely no cops and nothing but high quality smooth roads at 3 lanes each way - Perfect! Wish I had gotten pictures though. -------------------- |
