    That doesnt make any sense. to go that MPH you would need 31.2" of tire with 4.10s at 6500. its math, so it cant be wrong. unless you have non 1 to 1 third gear in your c4.

    heres a quick calculator for you guys that wanna play around. its a really good tool.

    http://www.race-cars.net/calculators...alculator.html

    or if you wanna do the math
    MPH = TIRE RADIUS ÷ 168 x ENGINE RPM ÷ GEAR RATIO
    RPM = 168 x GEAR RATIO x MPH ÷ TIRE RADIUS
    GEAR RATIO = TIRE RADIUS x RPM ÷ 168 ÷ MPH
    TIRE RADIUS = 168 x MPH x GEAR RATIO ÷ RPM

    Low PSI slicks will get taller the faster they spin because of the G-forces involved so maybe that is the difference????

    yes i know but a 28" tall tire is still the same tire. with centrifigual force it would have to grow over 3"? not registering in my head i guess.

    are you taking in to consideration "tire growth" and converter....... I didnt think so

    ask Jeff I went 147mph with my c-4 and 4:10 shifting @ 7200 RPM

    how is it not possable
    4.10 with 28" tall

    6500 = 132.1138
    7000= 142.27
    7500= 152.43


    according to this I can go 152@ 7500 RPM this has not lied to me yet
    But I forgot Im stupid
    and dont know what I am talking about
    according to you
