W140 S600 Rear axel ratio
Hi
Can anybody tell me the exact ratios of the stock transmission(1st gear,2nd gear,3rd,4th,and 5th)) and the rear axle ratio for a 1996/97 w140 S600Long Sedan, European model.
I would like to know the correct speed I was driving with ,when I was driving on the Motorway.(Racing with an Audi A8)
The Tacho was already well over the 160Mph(260Kmh here in Europe) so I don't know how fast it was.
The Vmax unit was taken out of my car ,and it is a moderatly tuned engine (Chip,High flow Air filters,Special Spark Plugs.and custom made Exhaust System),so I think it was surely over 160Mph,but I want to know how fast it really was.
I think I can calculate that out this way.
My wheels are 20" with 245/40 and 275/35
The engine was just under 5500 rpm.
Thanks for Help
