This is a speed-in-gears chart, which is just a graphical representation of the
mathematical relationship between the engine RPM and the road speed in various
gears. Nothing here implies that the car ever has, or indeed could, go 200 MPH
in real life.
I would not be interested in being the first one to attempt drive a stock-shape
TR4 at twice the speed I have driven mine.
