Default What is top speed in each gear?

Was wondering if anyone knows the top speed you can go in each gear before hitting redline? Thanks

Depends on what final drive you have and RPM limit.

I have a 5AT car, my 3rd gear tops out at about 104-105 and my 4th gear at redline shifts at about 136, so if I was manually shifting I might be able to get 137-138 out of it

Hell no. You either have to send it Technosquare, or go to Altered Atmosphere in Maryland and get it done....

You know "indicated" isn't "actual", right? Most cars are off by about 10% or more at that speed. You were probably about 140. Look at the GPS speed on your phone for an accurate number.
