i can confirm 5k in 6th is just approaching 140mph.....jesus i had to brake hard so i didnt hit the fence at the end of my garden!
quoted for the fail.
20mph-ish per 1000rpm on a gti6 box. 70mph = 3500rpm. 100mph = 5000rpm.
140mph = 7000rpm with a couple of hundred (more on a p1 ) rpm still to go. Not that my car ever hit 140mph ever anywhere especially not racing Mat (oecken) to the Ecosse rolling road up the Stirling motorway. Honest.
