Is the RPO SPO label not on the "back-side" of the console door? If it is NOT post up the last 8 digits of your vin and I'll take care of it!

last 8 should be: R5XXXXXX

Factory build: 3.07 G44


Your car should be a white/gray coupe with a blue transparent top!


Your MPH seems pretty close

2100 RPM with a 3.07 should be close to these #'s

1st: 17+

2nd: 32

3rd: 52+

4th: 74+

THAT'S AWESOME!!! I knew it felt a little faster on acceleration than my old '92. my old '92 had the stock 2.59 rear and it was a dog!

THANKS MUCH!!!

I did those speeds using a 275 tire calculation rather than the 285 that was/is on your car's "original build"! Using a 285 tire spec the 4th gear is likley 75+ just a bit!! I went back and looked at the build!

it's funny you should mention that. i hactually have 285's on the rear. they're 285 40 17's on the reat and 255 45 17's on the front. what program do you use for the calculations?
