Yes, that's what I just calculated, 172 mph/276 km/h assuming incompressible tires, and 163 mph/262 km/h assuming 5% (1.5 cm) compression under weight.
I also did calculations for MT, I never looked closely at the gear ratios and did not realize how huge the difference was. I mean, based on redline and gear ratios, AT could theoretically reach 217 mph (348 km/h) in the 6th. Even in the fifth it hits the aerodynamic limit well before redline.
The other interesting difference is that AT can hit 60 mph in the 2nd, while MT needs to shift to the 3rd. Does this mean that they made AT really very tame but fiddled with the ratios so that the 0-60 time does not look too bad compared to MT?
