I have no idea about each gear . I've taken it to 110 on the highway once. It would have gone more, but I slowed down, because the road wasn't very good for that, my tires were stock, just wasn't a good idea, I didn't want to die.

from tach vids of other's manuals, id say top of first to be 35-40MPH, top of second is 55-60 and top of third is around 80mph, maybe 90?

for an auto its 1st: 38mph, 2nd: 63 mph

dont know third, too much traffic!!!

Fastest I have been was 125mph on the CA-210 Freeway at 2:00 a.m...my normally 30 minute drive home from my gf's house took about 10-15 minutes instead...mind you, I was looking for Highway Patrol every chance I got...but it was fun...
