Yes there is. I used to have that calculator also and now I lost the website.

I went 145mph all stock with 3:55 gears. Needle was still going forward at a regular paste so lots left in it. Although my tires were kinda bald and I was with somebody else so I didnt want to put her in any greater danger. Also if you get caught with that kind of speed around here, you automaticaly lose your license. Not sure about the law for the US though..

The fastest I had been in my Vert was about 125mph.. I didnt want to push it with the worn springs and struts that were on it. Maybe this summer I'll go for a record

Not that it won't do it but that is not a true test. No wind resistance...kind of like doing it in outerspace.

Same here, except I had springs and exhaust done. The stock speedo read 145 and was still climbing steadily in 5th, can't remember the RPM's since that was like 3 years ago. I've never gone that fast since, and probably never will unless Im on a track.

Damn you've got some guts to go that fast on a dyno!














just messing. I've always wanted to start my stang up and run it through the gears while it is on a lift at work. I might do that this weekend, lol.

In my car, 135ish and I felt like I was starting to float. Thats with 3.27s in 4th gear.

In a Porsche 911 twin turbo, 175ish in 5th or 6th, I wasn't driving though, and the car felt rock solid. It wasn't loud either, all you could hear was the turbo's screaming.
