489, RE: Has anyone redlined 5th gear??? Posted by RS_Guy, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Why 162mph max? My 17" Rims & Tires setup was just milimeters different in diameter to the stock setup...
Anyways here ya go:
Go here: http://pw1.netcom.com/~sgalaba/mph.htm (Thanks Fast420A!)
Type these numbers in:
Tire Width in (mm): 215 Aspect Ratio: 45 Rim Diameter in (inch): 17 Transmission Gear Ratio: 0.81 Differential Ratio (final drive): 3.94
And the results reads:
Engine Speed (RPM): 7500 Speed (MPH): 172.12
There ya go, and if ya really wanna get nit-picky, my car used to rev-limit at 7549rpm (according to the SAFC peak reading when I hit fuel cut in 1st gear).
----- Car Status: *^%#!@*& I hate the waiting part....
