Rpm at 70mph

[t.piwonka at ttu.edu (Robert Piwonka)]

This is not dales old car im talking about, one of my bros has that.
According to the rpm calculater on scirocco.org stock agb with stock tire
size should be 80 mph at 4000.  With a 1.03 5th and stock final drive it
would be 70~ish at 4000.  So are you sating you car turns 3800 - 4000 goign
70?
