Mark.

The Pantera top speed is/was limited by engine redline and gearing (both 5th and the Ring and Pinion ratio).

That's why they sell 3.77 R&Ps and .6xx gear sets.

The aero will definitely affect how fast you can get to top RPM, and maybe if you have enough power to get there at all, but I believe an only slightly "up-tuned" 351C could get to 5800 RPM in 5th with stock gearing...

Maybe some of the racers can chime in.

It was not designed for ultimate top speed.

In fact, if you look at the Pantera marketing video, they intended that housewives and afro-haired stockbrokers could drive it around.
