on the road and all legal,

thats what i was thinking, i looked at the speedo and tacho , just a glance and it was well and truly into the redline and looked to be about 140kph,  im not sure what got over me , but the young punk in the WRX next to me didnt help , i really should be more mature i guess..

Ken, if you into the redline at around 140, you were only in second gear!!! They do about 135 in second. Broadly speaking, you pick up about 35kph per gear at redline.

That would make it 1-100
                          2- 135
                          3- 170
                          4- 205
                          5- 240

I only took note of those things when I first got it but the above sounds about right.

Noel,

Does the above mean you are asserting that the FJ will do 100mph in first gear?  I do not believe this -it just seems too tall.  Has anyone actually looked to see what an FJ will do, at red line, in first gear, with standard gearing?  As information my GSXR750 will do about 83mph at red line, in first.

Umm... Think that would be KMH.. not MPH

Foiled by the metric system, me and the Hubble designers....

www.gearingcommander.com has the stock 89 to 92 FJ at 54.7 MPH @ 8500 RPM. Or 88 KPH. Seems close enough.

Sorry Dan, KPH!!

Standard FJ does 100kph (62 mph) in first. Gearing and tyres will muck that around a bit but not much.

That would tally with around 62 mph at redline (9500 rpm)

It would no doubt go faster with a set of these beauties.
