I recently had 3.73s put in. 2nd gear is good for about 60 and 3rd about 100. What are 4th and 5th gears good for now. Any of you guys top out 4th gear? Those calculators don't seem accurate either unless my speedo is wrong.
top speed of different gear ratios

In 5th I can go 196 with 4.30s?:shrug:
Try it :banana:.
Yes, if you had the horsepower to push the car at those speeds
Wow.. I'd probably need hp in the upper 800s?
Or just gut it. Use more of the Hp you already have! Haha :banana:

My car went to 60 with 4:10's in 2nd...?
yeah it seems off a bit to me also.
Hmm, my old Cobra hit 95 mph at the TOP of 3rd with 4.10's... The link just proved it. Same with my buddy's car... Has 4.30's in his 98 Cobra and the top of 4th is 120 and the link says 121.
oops i need to check for tire size
just get a friend and a faulty gps. bam, instant 200mph...
I hit 145mph in mine with 3.27's, in 4th gear, and still had some room to go. It should pull all the way to the electronic cutoff of 152 mph in 4th gear with stock gears
that makes sense, cause i was going about 135ish when i shifted to fifth... i shifted way early too cause i didnt to stress the pistons, LOL
