My buddies z06 did a little over 200mph I think, but it's not stock. 611HP at the wheels. It ran high 11's stock in the 1/4 mile (traction limited)

Did Keith participate in this? I'm interested to know, as an ASR/Vishnu tuned 135i did 178 mph in the run.

Race weight: 4100lbs inc driver (with owner, -100lbs for wife)

Air temp was 78F around 2PM

Keith's S3 (no cams) ran (VBox verified):

177.87 mph
178.21 mph
179.10 mph
180.73 mph

It was a blast. My best time was 168.5 mph with Eurocharged tune and Jim's car with MHP tune ran 172.
Keith's car is phenomenal and was actually the loudest of all cars as well. (no real surprise there lol)
Top 2 cars where a ford GT 253 mph. Wholly crap.
and a 930 turbo did 221 mph. One of his run, he spun out at about 160 mph.. No one got injured though.
Should I dare say that there were a few new CTS-V and none of them ran above 165. There was one M3 and I do not believe he got above 160. One tuned M6 convertible got 167. One bad a _ _ 135i with over 500hp to the wheel got 174.
There was one CLK63 BS and can't remember his exact speed but it was a few mph less than mine.

Overall, our little Cs performed great.

Jim,
Your car ran awesome!! For just a tune and filters 172 was incredible!! Actually 172 was faster than many of the cars there.
Congrats for some really fast times. Great meeting you and the wife. Be careful going home.

Emercier- was good racing with you as well. Great times for just a tune also. I am sure you will be making more mods soon! Lol

I think the 135i did 178mph according to this post:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=361973

I think an ESS M3 did 181.8 mph the other week, but that was at Mojave.

That was a real blast! Yes the AMG's provided good entertainment.

One thing to point out is that the vbox Keith was using showed a consistent 2 mph faster speed than the event timing.

I think the wife is hooked now so we may be doing this more often. I'm certainly proud of her for running 166mph.

She will be running the next Rockingham 1/4 mile so stay tuned.

Great job Emercier it was good to meet you and great runs.

I did run the mile & 1/4 at the end and ran 175mph.

Keith & Ben thanks again for the Florida hospitality.

The topgun site will have all results soon with videos.
There were a bunch of GTRs and they ran at least 175mph if I remember correctly. (most of them were modded with exhaust and tune)
