I'ts not top speed it's torque to the wheels. The 3.48 rear end creates a closer ratio 6MT. You are allways in the revs out of every corner.
Here are my mile per hour calculations for my 6MT in each gear at 7k rpm.
1st 42 mph
2nd 75 mph
3rd 113 mph
4th 147 mph
5th 174 mph
6th 205 mph
The top gears create too much spread, and are only there for fuel economy.
