I am just curious, on stock gears (automatic), what is the fatest that a 01 GT can go?

Youll never find out its top speed. It takes too long to find the absolute top speed of a car.

Most likely 140mph. It is government limited.

Most here will tell you that a M5 99-04 GT can do 150mph plus but that is BS.

The fact that your car is an auto will suck up a little more HP but will not really affect top speed vs a manual GT since the M5 GT has such a high 5th gear.

um, a lower gear will slow down your top speed. Land speed racers run high gear ratios, like a 2.48 or higher to go for top speed. a low gear like a 4.10 is for quicker acceleration, not top end
