Do the maths yourself if you don't believe me. Using a 1.366:1 3rd gear ratio, 4.1:1 diff ratio and stock 300mm tire rolling radius gives a speed of 12.6mph per 1000rpm in 3rd, so 7000rpm is 88mph. 120mph would require 9500rpm.
If you really are seeing 120mph at the top of 3rd then your speedo and/or tach are seriously out. Have you changed the diff ratio or tire diameter?

I've got a video of a FC (not sure if its S5 or S4) going to 110.... I remember the thread debating what the top of 3rd is.... and he made that video for that purpose.
I've heard of FB's with miata trannies in them...
MOVIE god dammit... **** a pic. could just have a shifter on it with 6 speeds. I want a VIDEO going from 1-6th... but I believe you anyway.

A guy named Randy Stocker has a website, I believe it's solomiata.com, which has alot of interchange info for Miata's, like putting the six-speed in older Miata's, so maybe there's some info on putting the Miata six-speed in 7's...

Uh what about the RX-8 trans? Will bolt right up using modded TII drivetrain parts. A friend of mine has one in his '88 vert. I barely reach 90mph in my 3rd gear. Should a TII trans with a 3.90 rear go higher?
