Lots of nice goodies there. :mrgreen:

the NSX tach reads 1-2% HIGH, I don't know what the speedo error is, but you can figure out what the POTENIAL top speed is by doing the gear ratio X the RPM X the tire diameter etc calculations. (don't forget that the guys running 4.23 or 4.44 or 4.55 will have lower top speeds)

there is a chart on Prime that shows that.

Ways to go faster:
lower the weight
lower the height
remove excess wings and etc
have thinner tires
HAVE LOTS MORE HP :mrgreen:

the chart on prime is located here:
