They are going to be selling an ecu/pulleykit for the e55's real soon. Great shop and great people to deal with.

Your right not only are they great people but I think they are some of the best tuners in the country.....Lance is a genius when it comes to Toyota / Lexus or any thing for that matter...Jay.S

HAHA that was you? Nice job bro! Who cares if it is 186, 175 or 201 maxing that baby out is pure sweetness! Why did you go into auto mode at 7th gear? IT looked like you were in manual mode then I saw the 6 turn to D7 which in my SMG means auto mode.

I wanted to concentrate on the road, once when I tried this before I forgot to shift and hit the rev limiter in 6th......As for why its so dark, I guess its the camera.....Jay.S

That's cause Derek's car could run in the 10's and he started with around 600 hp and also had a 100 shot of nitrous if he needed more speed. Much easier to believe his car could actually hit 190 mph but an M5 with a 100 shot of nitrous could hit 200.

New M5 is capable of 200 mph. Read article from...I believe it was Evo Sport Magazine where it was stated that this could be achieved.

You are right

FWIW, BMW claims the M5 will hit 204 mph

I wouldnt use the NOS on a high speed run, I have enough to worry about at that speed...Besides I was told its not safe to use on 6th or 7th gear....Jay.S

For the love of God, never give into the temptation to try it.
