The question?

I couldnt even figure out where to begin.

Heres my question (and stuff that is relevant):

Assuming that my GA16i engine could pull all the way to the redline (which it can't right now) in third gear, what is the top speed that the car could reach?

My car max's out at 165km/h pulling about 4000RPM.

I have a GA16i that redlines at 6200. I also have a 3 Speed Automatic. Gear 3 I believe has a ratio of 1.000 and it has a final drive ratio of 3.476 .

Also to make it simpler, i would ignore any wind resistance, drag or friction.

Let's just assume your rate of speed is proportional to RPM (remember KISS) then you should see on your speedo 255.75km/h at 6200 rpm
