u have to get ur gearing right. i have an auto too, but at the track i would get up to 89mph in 3rd and around 5,500rpms before the 1/4 mile mark and if i kept going on the highway for example i could of topped off high cuz i always redline at 6,100rpms. u cant just cruise slowly and let 4th gear c ome in at 65mph and expect it to hit 120+ lol
