2.3 MTX highway rpms
i have an 06 2.3 MTX sport. mainly a car for city use but ocassional highway
on the highway gion 80-85 yesterday. realized revs were at4000rpm?!
yea im only 17 n that makes for great passing power
but highway is suposed to be a "relaxed" crusing rpm, not 4000.
my parents acura MDX does 80mph at 1900 rpm. BIG diff
can someone with a 2.3 mtx tell me if this is the norm?

RE: 2.3 MTX highway rpms
Checked my 2.0L 5-speed.....3750 @ 85, 3900 @ 90 mph
I still say you were closer to 90 mph.
An Acura MDX has much larger tires (cross-over SUV) and as such would most likely be geared quite different from a car. It must have one hell of an overdrive for 1900 rpm @ 80 mph.
