Main Menu-Transmission-What is the theoretical velocity in each gear?
I have seen 163 mph (based on the speedo, not sure if that speed was accurate or not) in 5th gear and then it redlined.
I would like to believe that my car, as it sits, is capable of hitting 168-170 mph in 6th gear.

Those theoretical velocities are close, but not exact.

and that 168 while it seems close is a big number to hit in our 6th gear. not sure how much power you make but it would have to be a decent bit more then ours, or at least have th wind and a slight down hill helping you out. maybe more important then if you will hit that speed but how much road would it take you to get there.

At the Texas mile, I would get to 162-3 in 5th gear. Shift into 6th and she would drop back to 158-7. When I crossed the line speedo was at 171. Clock said 169.7

I don't think we produce enough power to redline 6th, so who knows what the actual top speed could be (say with 800 hp). Those theoreticals are neat, but friction and aerodynamics play too much a role at those speeds. Unless it's under controlled conditions (even then), trying to do 160+ on the street is just plain stupid.

[QUOTE=TheLAW;14084975][QUOTE=you could use the gps function of the headunit to see what the actual mph is.
How do you do that?
LAW[/QUOTE]
go into the nav screen, then hit the option button, 'the radio tuner ****' then scroll down to gps information.

Can anyone calculate the gears using a 3.15 rear or 3.23. I'll be shooting for 180 +.
