Anyone went faster than this?

http://www.m5-forum.de/Forum/cgi-bin...&f=22&t=000022



Thanks to OnkelTom for the pic!

I guess it's 7100 rpm in 6th gear!

Dwescription by the driver:

The Tacho Pic was taken on a straight autobahn part which goes down a long way. I need about 10 runs to push the M5 so hard that the picture could be taken. btw. I took the picture on my own ;-))) While testing the max speed on some turn I have a car in front or a truck was on the road ! This was absolutly luck to have a empty autobahn and also click the button of the cam in the right millisecond. After that I braked the car down, drove out to a parking place and looked after the pictures.

On plane autobahn I only reach about 6.800 to 6.900 U/min. But the needle of the speedo will stay at 320km/h from 6.600 U/min and don't move higher !

I also tried this with activated Servicemenu from Navigationsystem to have a look at the m/s speed. The highest I saw on the monitor was 86,4m/s !

If this unit is working fine and the speed is nearly okay it must be 311km/h !!! But think of the going down autobahn, this is not a right condition for testing highspeeds ;-)

How did he take the picture? I want to see through the windows at the same time.

No it's not. Taken on A81 from Heilbronn towards Würzburg, "unofficial testground" for Daimler Chrysler according to Onkel Tom.

It is 320 km/h real speed

Ok. I saw this pic in another thread and it looked suspicious. Johann responded/agreed that it was a fake. I thought he knew something about it, but I belive you.

Well I find it weird that Onkel Tom would have faked it. It seems like it is a reeeeaaly long downhill. Becuase he doesn't have any significant engine tunign to the car.

I rest my case. You know him, I donīt. It was just Johanns respond to that thread that made me convinced, but maybe he responded with ironi (which i didīnt saw)

according to my convesions- 300 km/h= 186.4 mph; and what looks to me as 320 km/h=198.8 mph.
