When I was in Hawaii we rented a GT vert. :hail2: It was an auto and if I remember right it shifted to third at about 100 mph.(It's been a couple of months ago) Does that seem right? I wonder if it had 2.73s or what? :shrug:

i could swear i've had mine upto 90 in 2nd.

Yeah if I remember correctly this thing was close to 100 MPH in second. :nice: :D


EDIT-It was pretty fast for a vert auto with 4 people in it. I can only imagine if it would have had 4.10s. :drool:
 
Yeah, when I need to give a highway ricer an idea of what he's toying with... second gear up to 85-90 just about does it.

Someone mentioned above stock gears being 3.27? Thats just in manuals.... autos are 2.73.

no, the 99+ GTs all have 3.27:1 rear end gear ratios, whether they be automatics or manuals. Expect second gear to top out around 83 mph if its left completely stock (rear end gear, wheel/tire size, etc).

Hmmm. This was an 03 and I know it was over 90 MPH. :shrug:
