Anyone have a Motor Trend or other print that lists the 5-speed Mustang GT's MPH at redline in each gear? I have no idea what I did with my magazines.

With my stock tires and stock gears (5 speed mt):
1st - 40mph
2nd - 65 mph
3rd - 105 mph
4th - 140mph

Now with my 4.10s it's more like -
1st - 36
2nd - 56
3rd - 90
4th -116

Fastest I've taken it with the 4.10s was 150 mph and was still pulling but decided that was fast enough

This is the info published straight out of Motortrend.

You can also find and download the Motortrend specsheet off the website too. Note their redline for the 05 Mustang is 6000 rpm and their first gear ratio is 3.34, others have said its 3.38.

Gear - Ratio - Overall Ratio - RPM (Mph)
1st - 3.34:1 - 12.00:1 - (6000) 39
2nd - 2.00:1 - 7.10:1 - (6000) 65
3rd - 1.32:1 - 4.49:1 - (6000) 99
4th - 1:1 - 3.55:1 - (6000) 130
5th - 0.68:1 - 2.41:1 - est(4500) 143

Final Drive Ratio 3.55
Engine RPM @60mph 1900rpm


Hey Fast 05 do you know for sure that you will hit the rev-limiter before 60mph in 2nd gear? I've been trying to find someone who knows for sure for a while now.
