Very few people if anybody has enough grunt to pull a T56 in top gear wide open. Most of the T56 cars wind out in 5th which is still an over driven gear and will easily bring the red needle to the end its travel on almost any speedometer. Ultimate top speed is determined by so many factors you could not even begin to determine what that would be in a general discussion. You need to know specific information with regards to exact tire sizes, trans gearing, axle gearing, engine HP at peak, what peak is, vehicle frontal area silhouette, etc…
