Call BS all you want, that is a GPS enabled dash cam, and it actually reads a little low.
This is what I have been able to do with just the Cobb Stage 1 tune. Yes that is 175 MPH

Now that I am full MAP P1.5 with an Adam tune about to be finalized I expect over 300Kph

Not a Cayenne- the tail lights are all different

What other engine work are you expect?

Are you afraid of blowing the engine or transmission?

I have an eco so no attack... wondering how reliable a 4cyl will be at that speed over multiple runs. It is interesting.

Not doing anything else for a while really,I even have a Mishimoto catchcan to protect the motor and the is only a light coat of oil in it meaning happy healthy rings.

Access port shows 0 knock counts regardless of the speed, tranny is the same one (but with shorter gear ratios) the FI GT guys are putting 700+hp through with no problems and I don't drag race, which is many times harder on the trans than high speed runs. My experience on Turbo engines is telling me the weak point right now will end up being the seals on the turbo. getting pushed this hard I'm expecting the seals to give up in about 2-3 years which mean it will be time to upgrade to one of those VTT turbos I've been reading about.

My guess is an X6, maybe even an X6M.


Autobahn looks like so much fun! Be safe.

It looks like you may be right


Tail lights look like a match, I imagine an X6M would have handed my Ecoboost it's ass so it was probably an X6.

The autobahn is AMAZING, I've been here for 15 years and don't think I could ever drive in the US again!

I only push it when it's safe, I've only ever had fender benders in town or such. In none of my videos will you see me endangering others, having a good safe play is why I and other predators only come out at night.

So far the Eco has been near the top of the food chain.
