the tremec t56 "viper" transmission has a .50 6th and a .72 5th and I believe a 1.14 4th. there used to be a gearing calculator available on line which would give you the projected top speed based upon horsepower and gear ratios. the top speed suggested for this combination is well in excess of 200 mph. that would assume that the aerodynamics would allow such an attempt. I will never see that speed in this car I am enjoying life way too much. I do know it gets to 140 real quick and is still pulling hard.
