Depends on the size of the wheels.

Mine used to do about 108 (on GPS, speedo didn't work ) on 15s at 7200rpm.

You won't get to the standard rev limit in 5th with standard power anyway, so the gearbox can't be limited to 121mph, there's still revs left.

If the limiter is at 6750, and my car does approx 70mph at 3500, that means 500rpm per 10mph.

That equates to a max speed at the limiter of 135mph.

3.74:1

Which means, a 100% standard car, 6750rpm limit, IF it had the power to get to the rev limiter in 5th (which it doesn't) would do 136.24mph, according to the gear ratios.

7200rpm and enough power to reach the rev limiter with 195/45 15s equates to 141.81mph

my GPS wasn't far off that, but not quite 141mph.

Mine does 100 on the limiter in 4th.

Halfway down a hill on the M1, 1 passanger in. RA and TomTom both said 120 (speedo said about 123). Nothing else left in it. Revs were at about 6250 (maybe a bit more).
