Top speed of 5spd?

I seen a thred of top speed of an auto which made me wonder the top speed of a 5spd with a raised red line of 7k I had mine right at 140mph in 4th gear then I shifted to 5th and let out of it 140 is really fast enough I didnt want to go any faster but I was wondering if anyone knows the anwser to this.

ive nailed 136 in 4th gear at like 6500 rpm. i think car and driver was just being moddest, and put that to not make the $35000+ 4 door cars be jealous

I would assume top speed would be around 150-160, being drag limited.
(MEVI & JWT ecu equipped)

Just a JWT ecu equipped would probably only make 150 at the most.

<--- Not MEVI or JWT-ecu gifted.

According to my calculations, 6550 RPM in 5th gear == 162.3

Other speed related info here.
