I guess if you can get the power and ***** to pull it and the gears from TRE it can go hella fast.
Here's a quote...
SPEED OF EACH GEAR
Engine RPM = 7500 or 9500
1st = 50 or 63mph
2nd = 75 or 95mph
3rd = 105 or 133mph
4th = 138 or 175mph
5th = 190 or 240mph

I guess the bus-like aerodynamics will limit a lot of the stock/lightly modified Evos ability to reach 200+mph regardless of the gear ratios.
The UK Mitsu web site says the top speed is capped at 157mph...but it isn't capped at all...I got to 165mph on a runway with around 6,800 rpm showing on the rev counter before I backed off. I think 170 would have been achievable if a long enough run way was available. Car is a stock MR FQ340.
