I am curious if a vehicle's top speed can be estimated mathematically.
For example, if a given vehicle is doing 64 mph in top gear at 2000 rpm, and 95 mph at 3000 rpm, is there a way to estimate what it's speed would be at 6500 rpm?
This would be assuming the vehicle had enough power to overcome drag and achieve 6500 rpm I know. I don't really understand gears well enough to know if this can be done with two points of reference, or if it could work that way at all.
Thanks!
