Highest constant RPM driving the Mirage, and the Mirage's top speed
Hey all I was wondering what people have done with their Mirages regarding the fastest they've driven theirs, also their highest constant RPM.
Of course I won't say what my record is for myself, my friend says his Mirage goes just over 100 mph and their engine was "cruising" over 5 grand 5000 rpm.
The Mirage isn't meant for high speed, around 130 km/h and after that the Mirage shakes a bit, a Lancer Sportback etc. is smoother at high speed...
yet Mitsu 3 banger motor at 5k constant in 5th gear ,the motor could take faster and higher RPMs, maybe if there is an apocalypse situation might need be useful for the car to be worked in.

I read somewhere, here probably, the Space Star / Euro spec Mirages' top speed is over 180kms an hour, I wouldn't go THAT fast even if my Mirage had some sort of turbo, like the Rally car Mirage R5. That would not be a good car to get in a high speed crash with, same with any new Fiat 500 or Nissan Micra.
