Came across this, if you want to find your real in theory top speed in each gear. 
There will be no lies anymore

1st    38 mph  
2nd   65 mph  
3rd    99 mph  
4th    135 mph  
5th    164 mph  
rev    40 mph  
 
That my bmws states, I will agree with that, not that it will ever manage 164mph anyway.

How will i go about finding the gear ratio for a corsa c 1.2 56 plate, as people like to say they can do 115 but they will never reach that

Mine cant be right 147mph in 5th, no chance   
 
Hell, just did it for a GTI box, 152   
 
Need to get me a S1 rallye box, much shorter ratios.

I thought the F20 and F28 had the same ratios.... only with the F28 having the addition of 6 gears.

Seems close to reality 
 
1st 38mph 
2nd 65mph 
3rd 91mph 
4th 132mph 
5th 184mph 
 
With an 8k limit, hits just 177 at 7500rpm.

It doesnt need to know anything but the rev limit your engine has.
