Yes it is. Do you think that the delimiter made the car more powerful?

curious

Some cars with more powerful engines specifically designed for speed runs at Bonneville often don't run that fast, I am very curious to better understand why your car can run that fast, that is awesome.

I believe that is top speed (documented) of a Benz on the forum so far....congrats!

Wondering if anyone will ever break the 200mph mark. Do NOT suggest as even a dip in the road means you are the next CLK GTR video (end over end)....just wanted my conscious clear.

I dont speak english very well, but I have a question. If you could feel the limiter kicking in at 308 kph, how could the car then accelerate to 320 kph? Then your car isnt limited at 308 kph.

I seriously hope you found a safe place to do this? What that said, damn, that's insane.

And Bipasha, 198 mph I think is the estimated or at least the tested speed of the Z06 to date. I still believe the C6 Z06 could walk comfortably into 200.

my c5 went 195 on the dyno, but i only drove it a little over 150 with the stock suspension. ***** got crazy at that speed. plus i was only 17. my vision of the landscape and the road was about that of the picture at the top of this post. 140 was a great speed and did it everyday until the last day i had the car...

The highest speed in my C4 Convertible Vette with a coilover Callaway suspension had been 177. I ran out of road. Very steady and stuck to the road. Deafening however as I had the top down. My friend in a 996 C4 was way behind but found it amusing. I would never do this with the stock suspension. It would be ludricrous. Transverse monosprings suck.

More proof for me that my next car is an E55 AMG.

Damn that's fast! I have to ask, what's your 1/4 mile run like?
