I don't wish so, because no autobahn around here.... One big reason I bought a 2.5 car is its relatively short gearing so I can wind out gears, esp 2nd and 3rd, without going crazy fast beyond legal speed limit. On a ramp to interstate highway, 3rd gear topping just over 80 mph is perfect to enjoy that awesome engine growl, same with 2nd on back roads posted with 50-mph limit.

As already posted, the chart is correct but the top speed depends on engine torque and you won't be able to rev into red in the top gear...
