Whoa guys take it EASY this is not about landing planes or airports or anything like that.. it's a video of a stock S65 as far as I'm concerned..

Then why didn't you use the pm function to enlighten me with your suggestion??
Just my .02c, that airport is private, let alone cars, you can't even land an aircraft on that airport unless you own a partial ownership or something.
p.s. I don't remember asking any questions to you???

10,001 ft is 1.9 miles, not 1.6 - I hope your math skills are better when you're in the cockpit...I'd hate to see you do fuel or weight/balance calcs.

Yeah I wasn't sure about it being stock until I took it out on the runway... I did about 12 laps and hit the 155mph limiter about 8 out of the 12 times. I actually thought something was wrong because for some reason the analog speedo showed about 145mph and the digital one was reading 155mph dead on. At first I was just using the analog one and I thought it was screwed up but apparently all is good and the gauge is just slow?
It's really quick after 2nd gear as you can see in the video. You can feel how heavy it is through 1st and 2nd but after that it just takes off like a F-14.
The best I can describe it is "stupid fast" lol it still bugs me out everytime I stomp on it.
I am running K&N filters though so I am sure those breathe way better than the stock paper filters that MB uses.
