[quote][i]Originally posted by nassau[/i] if you want to know the max speed/top end on your car it helps to know the final gearing on your car. rough calculation goes like this: my 2001 corsa c sri 1.4 has a final gearing per 1000rpm in fifth of 18.9mph. max power is at 6000, so 6*18.9=113.4mph this is the theoretical maximum speed of the car. theoretical mind coz you've got to figure road/weather conditions,fuel,who's in it, aerodynamics blah blah blah... the limiter kicks in at 6.5, so theoretically 6.5*18.9=122.85. (indicates 125 by the way and it's been there once after a very long bit of road, otherwise 105 to 115 depending on the conditions... ) for a 1.2 sxi you've got 19mph per 1000rpm in fifth, max power is at 5600, so .. 5.6*19=106.4mph, theoretically. if you want to faster you have to change the gearing or raise the limiter, presuming the car has enough power in the first place.
