110.5mph. Don't need to know diff ratios... 60mph / 3800rpm = 0.015789 mph/rpm. 0.015789 mph/rpm * 6600rpm=104mph.

It's nice to see the big questions being asked on Ausmini again.
Fastest Engine? Twin-Charged Bimmer Twinky converted 4EFTE! Mid-Mounted!!!

assuming the speedo is correct in the first place

yeah right

don't need a speedo - he has a tacho and knows the diff ratio and tyre size

assuming the taco is right in the 2nd place

I think this would have a pretty high top speed...

Back in 1973/74 a mini sports sedan driven by Lyn Brown ( a male ) was clocked at 126 mph down con rod straight at a Easter meeting at Bathurst.

I have a feeling that is still the fastest recorded speed for a mini.

What was the top speed of Paul Gulson's Mini, in it's / his hey-day?

About 20 mph slower than what Paul would claim now.

I remember being at a Drivers' Briefing years ago for a Group N support race at the October Bathurst meeting when one of the Mustang drivers asked if the drivers of the small vehicles could keep to the left side of the track down Conrod to make it easier and safer for the bigger. faster cars to pass.
Some bright spark Mini driver responded immediately that he would oblige as soon as the big cars got out of the way across the top of the mountain.
Seriously though, there is quite a speed differential between the Bricks and the bigger cars, and when a V8 goes screaming past maybe 30 or 40 mph faster, the buffeting is enough to move a Mini sideways - and at 8000rpm in top that can be quite exciting.
