    my CL does 108 exactly at 3000rpm

    does this seem odd to anyone other than me? especially when there is a 1000cc difference to a VR6!!!

    I'm going to have to check this but my gearing if in 5th gear is just under 3000rpms at 100kph I think!

    Indeed

    Oh and my old exhaust used to drone baaaaaaaadly at 90 or 110, but at 100 it was perfect.
    Found out it was a straight-through system though, so thats probably why!
    Ditched the rear "muffler" for an actual muffler and the drone is all gone.

    I was going to say your VR6 does 3k at 100kph? Mine does about 120kph at 3k rpm i'm sure of it. Try a corolla with a 4AGE, 3800rpm at 110kph lol

    I had a look at this on the freeway this morning while I was going to work and Tims right I thought not though lol, I was at 100kph and I was just under or at 2600rpms.

    Makes me think thats something is wrong with others if thats what they are getting!

    yeh that sounds alot better... i was going to say, i'm up to about 470km now and i reckon i've still got about 15-20L let in the tank.

    3000rpm at 100km/h is what my car does and there is almost half the amount of engine in mine.... lol
