Well, acording to my calculations, with stock tires and the stock gearing a 7000 rpm put to the shaft of the gearbox will turn 329 Km/h on the wheels. Can anyone confirm this. I know there are always some frictional loses but the only point were i can figure rpms lost is the clutch. How much could be lost there. I know the E30 M3 Evo had a 3% loss on clutch at max speed of 248 Km/h. What's up for the M5 ?! Those 329 are surelly exagerated, but then were those rpms go?!?!?
Two speeding questions.
How many of you have opened up your M5 all the way? I've gotten up to about 150 twice, and was still accelerating, but ran out of road. I routinely hit 120.
What's the fastest you were ever going when you got caught? Ticket? Jail? I haven't gotten caught in my M5 (Thanks V1!).
