according to that gearing program my car can do the following...

1st - 35mph
2nd - 61
3rd - 88
4th - 114
5th - 141

Id agree with that apart from 5th and 4th maybe, i know it can do 110 in 4th so 114 may be pushing it, 5th is too high, nebody know why?

You would need to have the drag co-efficient and sprung/un-sprung weights to accurately produce speeds from gear ratios.

im running a F16 WR box as do a lot of mileage and like to have a nice low revving moter on the motorways.

at 7000rpm
1st=39 mph
2nd=68 mph
3rd= 104mph
4th= 149 mph
5th=187 mph LOL

but know that these are right as in fifth the car will do 83 on the speedo at 3k rpm and have been pulled on the M5 for speeding and was shown at 81 mph, my speedo was around the 84 mph mark.

if only I had the power to redline in 4th and fifth LOL.
