Can anyone help this calculation ?
My last test got a few readings,I'd like to know the speed of an Mercedes auto transmission car.
V8 redline 6000 rpm, 5th gear 0.83, final axle ratio 2.82
stock tires : 245/40R17 => mods : 275/35R18
This's for calibration use.
What's the speed when the 5th gear hit the redline ?
Thanks !

80.36/77.65 is the ratio of new rolling circumference to old. both number are inches per revolution. so yeah, your old max speed should've been 188. hope that helps.
