Default can y'all help me??
I was trying to test my top speed in a 4 mile stretch and the car seems to get to 6400 very easily in 3rd and 4th gears but in the fifth it hung up at ~5600 at almost 165 MPH what could be the reason ??? Is it the aerodynamics? !! Have this scanned from my HPtuner that wouldn't go beyond 158MPH can you guys help me figuring out the problem.

Only thing I can think of is the top speed limiter is stoping you, and your aerodinamics are fine up to 180-200
