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).
