Around 130mph in my old 172 last year iirc... You only get to use half of the straight though.

I got 155mph in a M5 couldn't go any faster was limited .

This guy has got some awesome car control, what a hero.

Which M5? Ive driven a E39 and E60 and both went way past 155

It was a mates E39 i tried to go as fast as possible but as soon as it hit 155 there was nothing there ,
You must have been lucky and had a car that someone had unlimited.

 

[Sam@NP]

The E60s I drove (3 of them) were all limited to 177mph. The E39 which we had from new did 168 before the limiter cut in. BMW told us it was so people in there 540s couldnt keep up with you on the autobahn LOL.

 

[ColinG]

The fact with M car limiters is that usually you can go past 155 in 5th, the limiter only works in 6th gear, once you get past just put it into 6th

They don't tell you that on Top Gear do they

 

[M4D M4X]

^ Ahh i'll keep this in mind when i drive another M car.

I'd love to have that level of control

you can with familiarization and practice. I race karts in the wet on slicks. At first it seems impossible to control, now I'm one of the fastest in our race.
The driver in the video knows that vehicle well. He only really loses traction as he pushes it, so totally in control of the situation. Fast but I got bored lol
