Some ass was following my wife on the highway when she was coming home one night, she'd slow down and got to the right to let him pass and he'd pull in behind her, and then speed up when she did, after a while she decided to put some distance between her and him, she was surprised to find she was doing 180+KMH, that's closing in on 115 MPH for you folks south of the boarder. I've wound it out a bit higher than that once or twice when road and traffic conditions permitted. In Ontario now if you get caught 50KMH/30MPH over the limit they impound your car for a week and the fines can get up to $10,000. Which is about $57 US.

57 US.

125 on the dial, 118 according to Harry's Laptimer.

I reach my M Roadster to 160mph few times for straight line only. (I was 23-24 years old)
I do remember my speedo showing I was going close to 170 mph ones. The rode was a little down hills. only ones. I actually got a little scare that time.

Now I own a M Coupe and I love it so much I do not speed at all outside in the rode.
I think I reach 110 ones in the freeway and that is it. Will leave the high speed and fast turns for the track.

I've hit the rev limiter a couple of times, steps in at about 270 km/h.

3.0si. 145 mph crossing start/finish line at Daytona. Might be able to squeeze a couple more mph if I pushed the braking point for turn 1, but no desire to do that at that speed. No question the car would get to the 155 limit with a bit more room to wind up. An M would likely have enough HP to get there before getting to the turn 1 braking point.

Speedo-indicated 175mph/283kph (a couple of times) on the way to the Nurburgring, sitting on the limiter in 5th.

6th just brings the limiter in earlier and the speed down to an indicated 160mph/257kph.

Both were with 265/40r18 Michelin PSS tyres on the rear.

A lot less than that on normal roads in the UK, France, Belgium.

What's sketchy was hitting the limiter at 155 (before tuning) with the top down on a long bend and having a S63 AMG pass me crossing double yellow lines spitting rocks/dirt everywhere. Good times.
Lol. Bet that hurt more than my hair slapping me in the face.

Funny, something similar happened to me also except I was passed by using the half shoulder on the side of the road where all the rocks and dirt collect. It all ended up all over my hood. Was it white? Hate AMG's now, what a d*ck thing to do.
