so i dont have a speedo in my car, and i was cruising around and i wanted to see how fast my car would go, so i wrapped it out to the rev limiter in 5th gear. later i wanted to see how fast i was going, so i looked up a calculator, and according to this, i was doing a 143 MPH. that was calculated with 5900RPM, 5th gear ratio of 0.78:1, and 245-45R18.
my issue is, it was deffinitely faster than 100 but it didnt feel like 140..
so anyone have some insight?

Depends on how much your clutch is slipping!!! lol, The vehicles I've been in/drove fast once you hit 100, 150 doesn't feel that much faster. Now I've never been close in my BD (sad thing is I've been faster with the original engine before my swap than current engine) Rpm to 5th gear and 4.111 does sound right to be 140 though.

Yea 118 I believe is the cutout on a bd. On mine however it is not limited. I have been way over 120. ;)
