    speedo's go to 260.
    Sticking a Chev badge on any Commodore is like putting a Nissan badge on a VL

    EOI....VE SS 18" wheels x4 with 5000k's on new tread, 2 of have very minimal gutter rash (previous owner) otherwise like new send me a pm if interested.

    yeah 260 sounds right, cos the sv6 is 240
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    im not sure, but you could probably work out the maths, based on gear ratio. so lets say in forth with
    3.07 gears at 100kph your doing 1850rpm.
    use that to work in out, factor in rev limiter, whatspeed your car changes from 3rd to 4th, etc.
