very interesting...I've never heard of it...I may consider it, but being N/A I'm not sure I'd fit in...You going to sign up? What do you predict your top will be with the M90?

Wild guess would be 150-155. The car would bury the speedo (140) before the blower and kept pulling so who knows.

There is a guy on here that had a tune, and a Steeda CAI on a 2011 GT. He hit 167mph, GPS-verified, on the autobahn.

You're putting down significantly more power than that guy, so...I'd say you'll be shooting for 170+mph.

But he only has one mile to get there.

if you are doing under 190 all you need is race gloves, cotton clothing, shoes with no holes, a 2lb fire extinguisher mounted, and tires that meet or exceed the speed you are trying to hit. Edit: forgot the helmet and shatter proof eye convering if its not full face.

Sounds like fun, unfortunately my car would shake itself apart at those speeds!

Looks like fun. Shane you should do it as I've read they may not hold this event much longer. I think your car would hit closer to 160.
