Yep, I'd give up 200 mph capabilities to pick up a few tenths to get to the top of 4th gear. Not sure if my speedo is off because I now have 345's on the car or not but I am not able to reach those speeds in my gears 1st-4th. I'm assuming the coefficient of drag was not taken into consideration by looking at the top speed for 5th and 6th.
