In Europe whilst chasing an AMG Merc I had an M3 Evo bouncing on speed limtier doing approx 165mph - perhaps 158mph corrected. The car was very stable and felt very planted, however I would not have done it in the wet...

Wow, so do you think without the weight of Mr R & Mr T, you could have hit the magical 200MPH ??

Also, how does the car feel at that speed ???

weight dosent make much difference to top speed - it just takes longer to get there...you need power and good aerodynamics ........

car felt very stable tbh. and really didn't feel like we were going that speed. It wasn't until you looked out the window at 90 degrees a watched the armco whip past at a hell of a rate of knots that you realise the speed you are doing.

Oh and it was on a damp auto bahn!!
