01 CL55 Top Speed
When I get a chance to speed lets say I'm doing 110MPH the RPM meter if I saw correctly was at 5000RPM in 5th gear? maybe below 5000RPM slightly, how would it be possible for me to do 150MPH if I redline at 6000RPM? Wouldn't the transmission be at its peak or, blow up? at 6000RPM I would guess I'd be at 120MPH or so, someone fill me in on this I'm not too knowledgeable in this field, thanks.
PS
I don't ever plan on doing 150MPH I just want to know what my car is capable of.

I actually tested it again today and what was happening was when I floor it the rpm flys up to 5 even at 80mph its just going back to 4th I think that's what I was seeing because all autos do this, I learned this when I was doing 100mph earlier at 3000rpm
