Re: RPM'S

[Salvatore Guzzo <yu129742@yorku.ca>]

I think that that sounds fine.  In mt friends 84 Scirocco, he was doing
about 130 km/h and his RPM's were around the upper 3000, low 4000.  I don't
really remember, but I think that everything is okay.  I understand that
the higher rpms help the car accelerate better at these higher speeds.
Someone else definitely will explain it better than I.

HTH,

Sal
