Default Top Speed w/ Aftermarket Final Gears

The top speed of S with stock engine/wheels/gears is supposed to be around 177miles/h (286 km/h).

How can I figure out what would be the top speed with the 4,44 or the 4,57 final gears?

Or if someone could tell me what is the top speed with 3rd or 4th or 5th shift....

Thank you

i have the rick`s 4.57 gears and the top speed in each gear is as follows:

1st: 33.5mph

2nd: 56mph

3rd: 77.6mph

4th: 102.5mph

5th: 123mph

6th: 156mph

those arent exact but close numers, just to give u an idea

4.57 is too aggresive for the ap2, its redline is 8000rpm so it would shift earlier than an ap1 with the same gear.

no...I chose the S2000 (04+), then input 4.57 for final gear, checked the tire deformation factoring. It says top speed in 6th gear is 116mph.

So what final gear should an AP2 use? The 4.44 says top speed is only 126.4mph.

I agree with Ustemuf, top speed in 6th for an AP2 with 4.57s is 135. Maybe you fat fingered an input value?

With 4.57's in 6th at redline => 241 km/h.
OEM 16" wheels and OEM S-02's.

...so you think this site is reliable?

According to Turnzero the top speed in 6th gear and 4,57 final is 238,18km/h.(AP1)

Spitfire says 241km/h.
Its close enough I think to get an idea...

Thank you very much guys.
