2: 58 mph
3: 83 mph (you could be in trouble)
4: 105 (you're probably going to jail)
5: 127 (do you have a lawyer?)
6: 135 (estimated at 6000 rpm, so I assume it's drag limited)
RPM at 60 mph in top gear: 2700
Hope this helps."
I was doing a pull on the freeway, and I didn't notice that I went over the redline on 2nd gear and it is showing 61mph before I shift to 3rd.
Does any one experience this?

Does anyone actually go to jail for 105? I could see if you were on a city road but on the freeway people frequently drive close to that speed in Michigan. And if 83 is trouble I'm in trouble every time I drive
Not that I condone dangerous driving, 85 is generally the max I allow myself to go.
