I did say theoretical - but I'm sure someone will come in and say that with a built motor, nitrous, FI, etc they can get to it - LOL.
It is good to post the speeds to show how nearly useless 6th gear is. On a track-oriented car, I'd like to see Vmax to be reached at max power RPM (6,000 in this case) in the tallest gear and all the other gears equally spaced down from there.
But instead we get hugely tall gears for fuel economy. It makes it less fun on track, since for most tracks you will be in 3rd/4th with very few shiFts. Oh well.
