How fast is 5200rpms in 4th gear with 2:73 gears? Is there a formula to determine stuff like that?

Use the speed calculator in the Analyzer section.

WOW!!!........145MPH!
Stangrunner, I have stock tires(225/50/15)
I knew I was hauling *** but the speedometer was pinned at the trip odometer. I hit 5th for a few seconds but then had to give myself about a half mile to stop.
What a ***** that was!!
SaleenGTS, your right!! That's too fast. If anyone would have pulled out in front of me, it would have been a disaster!!

Jesus christ man, that's fast!
On a mountain pass straightaway i got my car up to 120 slight uphill and 125 back down. Going up wasn't as scary, but when it starts feeling like your car wants to fly it's time to slow down (125 was good for me, didn't feel like tempting fate), i had also just hit 5th gear, but i ended up braking so i wouldn't end up as part of the roadside scenery.

225/50/15 those are stock????? On that I have 225/60/15 I will give you the right top speed with your tires 135 with 225/50/15 tires sorry to pop your bubble..

82 GT · 07-02-2001, 10:25 PM

Stangrunner, I was wrong. My tires are 225/60/15
I don't know why I said they were 50 series.
So I guess I was doing 145mph
Either way, 135mph and 145 are both way too fast!!
