Just curious. Has been nagging me since I bought the car. Doing 60mph I am getting 2500rpm. Does this sound right. 2.4 na 5speed stock. 2001.

It's just the way they geared the PT and also partly why the gas mileage is bad. My wife's Chevy Cruze 1.4 Ltr Turbo with 6 speed automatic is around 1750-1800rpms at 60mph. My 350 Corvette is right around 1400-1450rpms at 60 mph then drops into overdrive, back to 1300rpms.

yeah it does rev a bit at highway speeds... in '02 or '03 Chrysler changed the final drive ratio in the manual transmission to lower the rpm at highway speeds.

Go to a larger outside diameter tire wheel combination or change the gears.
PPG Gears can machine up a ring and pinon with a higher final ration for about 3k. ![]() |
