4th Gear Top Speed?

08-31-2002, 09:45 PM

I have a '00 GT with a 5-spd. I just had 3.73 gears installed, what is my top speed going to be in 4th gear? I still have the stock 17" wheels and tires on.

I have 3.73 gears on my 98 GT, and I don't know an exact answer off the top of my head, but I know that I have gone a significant amount over 100 in 4th gear, around 115 from what I remember. Might even be able to go higher, although I don't know why you'd actually need to. You shouldn't ever have to use 5th gear on the track.

thanks 98gt. That's what I was concerned with, having to shift into 5th at the track.

Thanks Badass! Let me know what she'll do. I've been waiting to get a few hundred miles on the new gears before I went for my own 4th gear top speed run.
