    Just curious what the guages in ya'll's cars read. (No, I know WHAT they read:rolleyes: )

    Oil Pressure?
    Water Temp?
    RPM @ various speeds
    Top Speed (Or the fastest you've driven it)
    Shift points
    Shift speeds

    Once again, I'm just curious on all of this. Thanks, Preston

    Temperture between 160 and 190 depending on the weather
    2400 RPM's at 60 mph
    Have had the car up to just over 130 mph
