Default Top Speed at redline in each gear for 05-09 mustang gt

I was curious about what a manual mustang gt tops out at in each gear, 1-5. I'm pretty sure that 1st might be around 40ish but after that I'm not sure.

define redline - if you mean the actual "red line" on the speedo, that's 6000 rpm

it also would depend on your rear gear and tire size, so without that info it cannot be calculated for your ride

PM me with your email addy and I'll send you 2 Excel spreadhseets. You can input your tire size and gears. One is tabular and the other is a graph. Both will provide you theoretical top speed (in a vacuum) since you'll never get to redline in 5th. Silly aerodynamics!
