For my 04 MCS, I'm running around 3250rpm at 80mph. What is yours?

Oh, I'm running 215/45/17.

 

03 MCS, 3200 RPM @ 80mph with 16" X-lites.

 

3300 at 80 MPH. '02 Cooper CVT

 

About 15,000RPM


















In first gear

 

I'll check mine when I get done with a couple of projects. I'm assuming that you guys are using the MINI's tach. I have a Stewart Warner shift light which reveals RPMs in increments of 10. Of note, I'm rolling with 205/45 - 16 (an inch smaller than stock 16 fitment)...

 

That was going to be my answer.

 

I do know that at 200KPH Poco is running on the high side of 6000RPM,but there is still room to go moreEven in a long sweeping S

 

I'll get back to you in 3 months after the thaw

 

No need to wait for a thaw,went out and turned 4100 RPM in 4th,38-3900 in 5th,blacktop,with some snow,so tending to watch the road,not the guages.How close is 140KPH to 80MPH?Cause that is what I was doing

 

About 2 needle-widths over the 3 on the tach in 6th going 80. Thats with 17 inch all season S-lites.
