191MPH E55
#3
Out of curiosity, how did the car feel at 191mph? Planted?
I had my old 911 Turbo up to about 180 once and it felt good but just looking at our E's they don't "appear" aerodynamically friendly for that speed.
Looks like your car got up to speed pretty easily!

Thanks guys!
That last run was against a fully bolted E55 + cams + custom tune, I was two up also.
Either 1.6 or 1.8 miles, cant remember now, it was a 2 mile straight but we need room for braking.
The car has done a standing mile @ 180.01
Mods are,
- Kleemann headers, H pipe, no cats on to eisenmann back box.
- Kleemann tune
- Kleemann 168mm
- R/T 82mm tb and air box
- big h/e and rear tank (floored fab) with twin cm30 pumps
- Lightweight Rotors (front)
- Lightweight Battery
- Lightweight Wheels
- TTM Scoops

Nah mate, Kleemann has been tuning these cars for years never had a need to, IMO you only need fueling mods if you go over 180mm.
