it would depend on what motor (how much hp/tq) and where the redline of the motor is.
If you have enough power and can get to 8000rpm in 5th it would be around 160mph

Fastest I've been in a GSR hatch was 155. That's an estimate though since the stock speedometer doesn't go that high. I say 155 since 0 is directly opposite 100, the needle was directly opposite 55. I was the passenger in the vehicle, and then we got pulled over and the driver went to jail in handcuffs. It'll teach you not to race a souped up IS300 on I-75 through Atlanta at midnight the night after Hot Import Nights.

Racing for top speed is not racing. That's what they do in England, Germany, and various other places overseas. The only real racing is from a stop... or a roll. Once you pull significantly ahead, it's over. There's no reason to see how fast you car can go. Going 160 is just dumb. From a 30/40/60 roll, you should have the guy in the bag by 120 or you probably lost.
