Default Engine revs vs. speed

Hi everyone,

After seeing some odometer photos from people's cars passing 100,000 kms, it got me wondering about something just out of curiosity. With standard i6, VCT i6 and the V8, and different driveline mods, could you reply and let me know what speeds your car does when at 60 and 100 kph?

My AU2 Fairlane with a 3100 hi-stall torque convertor and JMM DEV 3 does this:

60: 1550rpm (65 on speedo)
100: 2,000rpm (105 on speedo)

I understand that my car is a little heavier than SWB cars but I am still curious.

Thanks and regards,

Andrew.

Ahhh ... I am trying to remember.
AUII XLS auto ute (EGAS) 100km/h = approx 1900rpm ... I think 110km/h is 2100rpm.
Or there abouts.

My Futura speedo is way out. 100km/h shown is only 92km/h actual.
so 110km/h shown = approx 1800rpm stock I6 auto on AUI 17" rims and 235/45 pirelli's
