Higher ratio = lower top speed, better pickup
Lower ratio = high top speed, lower pickup
If..... the C160 have the 0.725 sixth gear and a 4.5 final drive, yes, it will have better top speed than C56.
(3000/0.725)/4.5 = 919 RPM - drive shaft rotation speed
919x0.105 = 96 kmph at 3000 RPM (0.105 is a calculated constant value for 205/45 R16 wheel)
but isn't 0.725 and 4.5 final drive came from Celica's C60? I really don't know la.... Never dismantled C60 or C160 before)
Likewise, C52 and C56 also have lower ratio type which have 3.7 final drive. The C52 came from the turbocharged EP91 (4E-FTE) which have better torque than 4A-GE due to its force inducted system but it have slightly higher top speed (if achieveable) than the 4.3 final drive C56 due to travel resistance....
EK9 B16B Type R which have 4.4 final drive also have better top speed than our AExxx 4A-GE but during highway travel, their engine screams even when traveling at legal highway speed.
Just my theory.... don't have the money to buy and test C160. Way too expensive

totally agree. cuz yesterday i just tested my auto BT at KESAS,top speed can reach 210km/h easily(with pivot speed meter). Can go somemore but don't dare.
