My buddy got a speeding ticket, the slowest of 5 lazers was 102 mph. His 3.65 4 speed tranny was at 5k rpm, any one know what the actual speed is about.

With stock tires (15") he'd be getting ABOUT 26mph/1000rpm.

So ~130mph


edit: as a side note... a lot of people's tach's read high (from my experiences) so take the above with a grain of salt.

Your buddy is F****d.

I thought that my 70/25 was bad enough! Wow.

Assuming 25" tall tires and an accurate tach:

3.65 4 speed
Tire Diameter RPM Trans Gear Ratio Final Drive Ratio MPH
25 5000 0.81 3.65 125.72

How did he manage to get 5 lidars on him???
