Finishing in 3rd
Sounds like a 3.42. You can take them all the way to 112mph in 3rd.
If you had 3.73s you would be able to hit 102 mph in 3rd @ 6500 rpm and 133 in 4th @ 6500 RPM
If you had 4.10s you would be able to hit 93 mph in 3rd @ 6500 rpm and 121 in 4th @ 6500 rpm
If you had 4.30s you would be able to hit 89 mph in 3rd @ 6500 rpm and 115 mph in 4th @ 6500 rpm

Yes

A 26" slick will be good for ~112 mph on a 3.42/1 car in third gear. The slick grows on the top end making the ratio effectively less.
In some regard it works as a continuously variable final drive ratio. Shorter at the line for better acceleration, and they grow halfway down the track for more top-end.
My 27" slicks grow enough to throw off my ABS making the light stay on after a pass.

Hmm, that link to the gear calculator tells me i have 3.73's according to my RPMs and speeds with 245/40/18's. I always thought they were stock, and was thinking of upgrading to 3.73s but im glad i didn't think about that too much
