Rpm at 60
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.

Re: Rpm at 60
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.

Re: Rpm at 60
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.

Re: Rpm at 60
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.
