Re: Your personal record!!!!

170 mph in my Gallardo before my Dad said "that's enough"- felt good wanted to go for more

150 in my 2001 Z06 - scary front end lift

149 at the end of the back straight going into turn 17 at Sebring in my GT3- if only the straight was longer

I'm planning on doing the Utah Fast Pass this summer (unlimited speed open road event) in my 914-6 vintage racer (no speedometer in that one)

Re: Your personal record!!!!

Not impossible, but im sceptic of 200mph. Not saying he didn't achieve it, just curious as too which car, those speeds are more likely to be attained in a 700hp detuned 65 AMG. And still that would be a task without running out of room. Especially on public California Highway's.

the speedo probably showed 200mph but we all know they speedo isnt 100% accurate at those speeds.

Re: Your personal record!!!!

never the less, I think he did it. Our freeways arent crowded when its super-late. Still it would be quite a feet, although on a tuned CLS 55 (kleeman stage 2 i think) its probably possible.

I believe there was a stock delimited SL65 that reached ~216mph on a track like Nardo. It's all really is down to the final gear ratio, the 55s have more than enough torque to get them to 200mph.

Yup that's what it was, I think 338km/h = 210mph, I was close.
