I swapped out the 4.10 gearset that was in the car because the deep gearing was useless without racing slicks, and since this is a "street car", I run street radials. With the 3.10 gears now installed in the car, the top speed is a theoretical 209 mph at 8500 rpm. Hah.
I use this cool online speed calculator: Speed Calculator
