182mph on the Autobahn

[DopamineQuest]

Won’t the digital display in the middle go over 160? I know the analog stops at 160, but the digital one should go higher. I’m not sure as I haven’t had mine that fast yet. Nowhere where I live would give me the chance to get that high. I’m also pretty sure since I have 4.09 gears that my top speed took a hit. So I might not be able to hit 160 even though I have 689 rwhp.

Even with 4.09s the gearing in that tranny will have you doin 240 mph lol (kidding, but maybe not?!) but WD Pro is right, you'll run outta power before gear.

Well dayum... I will live vicariously through youse guys. When is the Gandy Bridge that empty? It's usually a parking lot when I'm on it.

Wonder if he works for or is the dealer that owns it? I would think before doing something like this, you'd take the dealer stock # decals off the windshield?? Buyer beware! LMAO!!

Buyer beware! LMAO!!

Nah, they are built to handle a lot more than a couple brief full throttle blasts.

You’d think with 689 hp I’d be able to do 240. It’s more than a lot of Ferraris and they go over 220. I figured with that kind of gearing it would chop my top speed. Going 240 would be cool but you’d never see me do it. I’d probably my pants once I hit 200.

Well I feel like such a loser now.. my POS could only manage 177mph before I ran outta road

Nice work! Ive got a 3 mile straight-and-flat-as-an arrow stretch I will be driving for the first time this 4th weekend. Assuming it isn't choked with traffic....

To quote J.R.R Tolkein's lesser known, first iteration of Theoden's speech:

Arise! Arise drivers and petrol-heads! Asphalt and concrete await, speed and power! Engines shall be shaken, ears be splintered, a track-day, a red-line day. Ere the sun rises! (unfortunately for the neighbors). Drive! Drive now! Drive now to ruin and your transmissions ending!

You will still run out of power or road before you run out of gear

I think @DopamineQuest had been cheating and taken a sneaky look before making his 240mph 'guess' ...

240 is going to take 'a lot' more than 689 though ... !!!

Does that mean I can do 243 in 6th gear?

Mathematically yes, IRL I don’t know.

I used to out race the cars on the water with the Sea Ray V8.

Sure, just bolt 2 JATO's on the roof.

Mostly noticed no movement of the hood at those speeds. My 350 hood moves around at 65.

Probably the big hood vent got the air pressure out.
