Top Speeds In Each Gear?



  Meg 225 with cup packs.
As the title says really. Has anyone got the info of the top speeds in each gear of the 182 please.
 
  FN2 Type R +MK6 Golf
62 in 2nd ,90 in 3rd and just over 110 in fourth right on to the limiter in 5th around 150.mph.Give or take for the speedo being out.
I hit the limiter in 5th in my old 172 before i sold it...

That sounds a bit low too me, maybe my 172 speedo is a bit out.
Mine reads approx 40 in 1st, around 68ish in 2nd and about 96 in 3rd. I've hit the limiter in 4th on a runway and it was about 120.
So someone correct me if my speedo is wrong.

Phase 1 172's are longer geared iirc. The ratios were changed for the Phase2 172 and again (slightly) for the 182.

welcome to the real world, always on the low side of what it says on the gauge man
 
i get 30 in 1st, 58 in 2nd, 90 in 3rd, 110 in 4th and never gone past that, with the amounts of revs left i'm guessin it'll be off the clock (clock goes to 120)

not sure bout other gears, but i have raised rev limit and have had just short of 120 in 4th, got past 140 and chickened out tho....

Dont forget the road angel 2 uses various satellites which will measure from A - B. A speedo on a car has been calibrated with the size of wheels and tyres and takes these into account. Obviously the road angel cant do this, its looking down on the car from a birdseye view. It doesnt mean there wrong though the satellites are so quick the time on them is very accurate.

speedo's read up, gps units are more acurate then speedo's

Mine is (all approx) 38 in 1st, 68 in 2nd, 95 3rd, 125 4th and whatever in 5th. This is with the Rsport...about 7700rpm but 4th and I assume 5th is pretty much 8k

I get the same as you. As 'lagerlout' said, phase 1 172s have longer gearing thank phase 2s and 182s.

30 in 1st 58 in 2nd 82 in 3rd 110 in 4th and at a guess 140 in 5th

* all are indicated speeds on the speedo (except 5th as i aint never getting there)

Ive got the 182 road test from autocar so here goes:

1st=39
2nd=62
3rd=88
4th=112
5th=138

those speeds were all taken at 7000rpm except 5th gear which was taken at 6700rpm, although i assume each gear will manage a few more mph as it will rev to 7200rpm

no idea what mine is lol 63 maybe a little more in 2nd, not too sure what i can do in 3rd, it's not cause I don't go fast its just I'm usually concentrating on the road!!!

Have seen 140 on the clock on slight downhill not quite flat out (5th gear obviously!!!) private track of course
 
on std map

1st - no idea
2nd - 58
3rd - 90
4th - 112
5th - 140-145 (depends if it goes in red...)

chip wizarded'
1st - no idea
2nd - 61
3rd - 90
4th - 125+
5th - off the clock (they actually read 155, but who cares, it's wrong anyway)

Is that for the williams?
 
yup, not 100% sure on 2nd and 3rd gear with chip though, needles hard to track when you pressing on. 3rd is at least 90 though... 4th I only remember as it was done at Donny on the long straight
