Title: Calculating top speeds in any given gear

As per the other thread from a few days back, the stock FD box ratios are:

1st 3.483
2nd 2.015
3rd 1.391
4th 1.000
5th 0.719

FWIW, my setup with 265/35/18s gives 102mph @ 4000 rpm per the calculator; this compares to 91mph in car, assuming the tach (FC Commander/dash) is accurate and the GPS is on the money. So its a reasonable indicator.

I was going to go bigger wheels this year but may not bother now!:wave
