Speed in Gears at REDLINE or REV-LIMITER?

I've hit 95 at the rev limiter in first. At least thats what it was indicating last when I glanced at it before looking up again.

To be honest I am interested in the same data but things happen so fast that I tend to run out of road or have to concentrate on something else other than looking down at the tach and speedometer.
