Those speeds do seem high. What is your rear tire size?

Checkout www.rx7.com

The have a table listed that gives all the speeds at redline with different rear end gears. I think it is posted with the differentials.

I haven't checked the actual stats. But, I have been clocked @102.54 in 3rd at the local 1000' track.

Also, when I didn't have 5th gear. A friend and myself went 150mph in 4th. We both saw the speedometer and were like ****! I too thought that 4th topped out around 145mph.

I run stock size 225/50/16's.
