Top speed is a factor of gearing for a race car. However, your Saab will not reach redline in 5th gear. It is aerodynamically limited. That is, you do not have enough horsepower to go that fast. If you did, Jeff is correct in how to calculate that. As to actually top speed your car is capable of, there are some computer programs that you can buy that will let you input data such as coast down speed, engine size, gearing etc. and estimate top speed for you. I think you can get these at hot rod shops.
