That's interesting.
Thanks for the info Carrera. :ok
So my 4000RPM at 70 MPH is so close to your 3943RPM that I wouldn't be able to measure the difference.
If my tacho is accurate to 1.4% I'd be amazed. :lol:

It did occur to me to set the shift light to 71/72 MPH so I can actually do 70 without it coming on. :P

Both!!
It's a "if you havn't shifted by now, you really should be thinking about it/ you did remember you have a 4th gear right? ah but if you're in 4th, just to let you know in case you're interested, you're doing over 70MPH, congratulations!!!" light.

Yeah, dog leg and all that.

Stick with the 4 speed, the gear change lfeel is so much better. Much prefer my CU to the WBX in that regard
