    This isn't how fast you can really go, more of how fast your gears, tires, and RPMs will let you go. There are a lot of variables, wind, torque, horsepower, aerodynamics, etc.

    Wanting to change gears, maybe wanting to change to a B16 tranny, but scared of RPM change on the interstate? Calculate what your RPM will be at the speed you want.
    RPMs arent THAT bad on the interstate with a B16

    I've had a few, I realize. I was using it as an example, because compared to a lot of other cars, it does render a high RPM at interstate speeds.
