**** nobody else answered, okay seriously....

on my car...

1st...... 50kph
2nd..... 80kph
3rd...... 125kph
4th...... 175kph
5th...... never redlined that gear.

My car is a 13B motor, GSL-SE with almost all bolt-ons I could get.
All I need is a light flywheel, MSD 6al, and a light driveshaft and I'm done. Unless I end up porting the motor.

Just found Factory recommended shift points

GEAR------------Carb--------------EGI (gsl-se)
1st .................22kph...............24kph
2nd.................38kph...............40kph
3rd..................51kph...............64kph
4th..................70kph...............72kph
5th............................................... ......

I don't think those are at redline, but thats what it says in the 1984 owners manual. So that is an approximation of stock results.

I got 210kph in my 12A turbo, but then ran out of road. Felt like it could've gone more though
