About 2,100 RPM's.

But I don't have any roads locally to me to run that fast. Average speed limit out here is 45 to 65 MPH. In town is 25 MPH. Then residential is all 15 MPH. We are a slow state compared to most others.

There is I-90 and I-84 but they are long was from me and the only 2 places I know of that run 75 MPH.

Try driving fast here...
