Say I wanna find the top speed in my ST. It's an automatic, so I don't have as many options for some things.. but after I'm in the highest 'gear', how high should I let the RPM's get before I slow down? Should I let it get so close as to redline, or 6000? Or something lower?

The GT doesn't quit at 125, the limiter comes in. BTW, you should get your ECU taken in, the limiter is off now. I did 130 yesterday, I think I could've gone a teeny bit higher...135 maybe?
