Honestly OP the question you should be asking here is what RPM will you be turning at different speeds in each gear. The usability of a high gear ratio like a 4.10 with your car in every day driving is probably a lot more important than if you can break 140mph.

But to answer your question, fast enough.

I was wondering about something, wouldn't it be technically posible to makea 200mph mustang by just changing the gear ratio to something really really low? lol I'll just take like 5 minutes to get there or something

Technically the gearing can go like 200+ stock, but the cars do not have enough power to do this.

i think the guys that ask how fast will gears put me at like to hang out with ricers...

a few of the local ricers around here all talk about how fast they can top out at. i like to talk trash to them about how they may be able to run 160 down route 50 but it takes them 16 seconds to run down a quarter mile at the drag strip.

someone should just yell it out... top speed will get you killed and its not what counts in a race...just my thoughts..

you know there are places where you can LEGALLY top out your car right? THE SILVER STATE CLASSIC!!! They have their own rules that you must obey or you get in trouble though so read up on it on your own.

Assuming you can generate enough HP top speed with 4.10s would be around 185 mph at 6250 rpm. [/align][/align]This would take 425+ rwHP at 6250 rpm which would probably mean an engine that peaked at 550 to 575 rwHP...[/align]
