what is the delimited top speed of a stock M5?
How about M5 delimited with Alpha N 93 octane software?
delimited M5 with Dinan SW NO HEADERS.
Alpha n 93 octane top speed witn headers?
Dinan s3 delimited top speed?

I understand and I have set the cruze at 150 in my 540 6 just to say I did, stop thread crapping. This thread is about bragging rights even though it is not the fastest thing out there.

With mere (by today's standards) 400 hp, the top speed is m ore about bragging rights than a useable/applicable capability.

At the time the car came out, I remember reading in 2001 that someone had gone over 300 kph in Germany and I couldn't believe it.

How things have changed over time.


Other than the absolute top speed, the car does go up to mid triple digits very quickly, which is the usable part of performance of this beast.
Although I have never been over 100-110 myself (takes too long to go faster for my taste) I have seen videos of people hitting 130-140 fairly quickly.

my top speed runs happened in the middle of the night from Madison to central Wi. Did it about 4 times. I don't know how long it took to get there because there are several curves on this stretch. Between 3:30 and 4 in the morn on a weekend in the middle of Jan in wi, no is around. I was 38 years old when I did this..... Calculated risks. Once again this forum is nothing like the RF days of old. The first couple of times I did not know what my car was limited at. So I just ran till I got that pucker feeling. I now have a evolve tuned m5. Same year. The 2001's have a taller rear end ratio...
