yeah idk what the deal is. I don't think it should be running that high at all 55mph in 1st gear that is. Then again its a automatic..probably a little bit diff. so im not sure. Could possibly be an LS tranny on it. That would suck if it was. Check the tranny code on it.

if its an auto it isn't closely geared. it will be more spaced out do to the fact it has one less gear.

and auto generally have longer gears also.

a b16 auto is quite rare and not available in the US, not many were made, it could be a b18 auto trans for a teg or something

it's really not that great because the acceleration is slow as ****, a LS is able to beat me from a dig like 3-4 cars but on a 30roll or higher, i own most cars. It' very strong on top end, by the top of 3rd gear i'm already past 100mph

*sigh*.... with an Auto tranny, the 1st gear is only used till like 10mph then it goes into second, so you have a very good chance that you are actually in second gear...
