it's only calculating what your box would "theoretically" do...

dont forget, load's of other variable's that would effect the top speed..

eg

vx220 and a cavalier - both same engine, wheels, box's etc the vx will have a higher top speed, more areodynanic c etc etc

not strictly, if you have a high powered engine with a really short top gear it will just sit on the limiter turning the wheels as fast as the box will let them

think of as you vs an olympic gold medalist on a push bike, he only has first gear but you only have 10th gear you will be able to go fastest no matter how powerful he is

yep, it will just take you(less powered car) longer to get to the higher speed

Nic, have you ever done 191mph in your Corsa? Or is that what it tops out at on the dyno?
