Here is a stock M5 video 0 -175mph video *very clear*. Your car loses 12mph in 4th due to the 3.45 gearing, which does look its 130 mph.

Here is the top speed for each gear in a stck M5 using 3:15's....
Approx:
1 ... 40
2 ... 75
3 ... 100+
4 ... 145
5 ... 175 (unlimited)
6 ... 200 (unlimited)
So now maybe my gearing makes more sense to you?

1- 36
2- 62
3- 98
4- 132
5- 160
You obviously dont know much about the technical details. Ive built my car from day 1, ive learned alot of things. I didnt buy a already finished project car. I would love to race your car with my 500rwhp car.
