Im in a whatapps group with the owner of the Merlin C7. I asked him if it was modified, can't remember what he said though. Think it's forum member M1RXE though.

In my youtube vid (0-206mph) my Stage 2 C6 (730hp & 740lbs/ft) did a standing mile in 28 seconds reading 193-4mph on the speedo which means 187-8 real mph (based on 206mph speedo being 200mph GPS) and it cracked 200mph GPS within 1.4 miles.

I'm going to Terminal Velocty with a bunch of mates in July so I'll see what happens with their 1.35 mile available runway, although the website also states 1.5 mile distance too (whole length is 2.2miles anyway).

the 2 mile includes the area in which the pop up stand is situated, the stretch is 1.3m with 500m run off only, see you boys in July :)

The map they've given me is utter rubbish - It says the total length is 2.2 miles, yet on Google Map the measurement is 2 miles but the actual length you can physically use is only 1.7 miles so starting braking at 1.35 miles gives you 550m to brake from 200mph which takes only 4.5 seconds to cover :shock: - Should be fun :D

My C6 demolished an Evolve F10 M5 few years back at VMAX.
He came up afterwards to say he'd never seen a 6 do him over like that before.. ;)
If it was a few years back then apples vs. pears to that car today. Depending on how long ago they may only have had a zorst on the car as their Stage 1 tune arrived roughly 3yrs ago & their stage 2 about 2yrs ago. Their white F10 M5 is now running around 780bhp with many upgrades & they're replacing with hybrid turbos next.

Good effort though.

My C6 did 192 verified at Vmax a few years back, running 702ps and 860nm MRC map only...

I would wager the C7 must have been at least mapped to make that sort of speed...

Wasn't the RS6 that did 191mph a V10 saloon. I thought VWCheung did 177 at this event in his 710bhp C7.
