    Depends on the ratio of the ring and pinion in the diffferential and the ratio of top gear in the transmission. Also depends if the trans is manual or automatic. Manuals have a direct drive with no slip. Automatics can have a lockup converter so there is no slip or a conventional converter which will slip a certain percentage depending on design. On a fairly tight converter, I usually use a figure of around 3-5% slip when figuring mph @ a certain rpm.
