I've hit 79 in 2nd =)

 

Not possible, hate to prove it, but....going to Bridgestone's Site.

26.6" as the overall rear tire diameter -

26.6*3.14159/12 = 6.964 ft/revolution

7,500 RPM / 2.324 (2nd gear ratio) / 3.538 (FD ratio) = 912.152 RPM at the wheels

912.15 * 6.964 = 6,352.1 ft/min

6352 *(60 / 5280) = 72.18 mph

Thats the fastest you can go in second gear without mechanically over revving the engine. If you put a different FD ratio in the car, then that all goes to hell.
