I've been 177 (gear limited) in my old 2005 STi, it was quick, and fun, completely UNLIKE topping out my S2000 (149 mph), which took FOREVER.

M235 140ish, slight understeer through a broad right hand bend. Michelin- I can't recall if MPSS or AS3+.

Anything over 140 is very fast on (Mexican) roads. As I recall the car starts to whistle a little but the 235 feels like it has more speed and is stable for such a short wheelbase.

One of my fav cars growing up. I regret not ever owning one. I'd like a Turbo S or a GTR.

Btw if you want to have some real fun, go into the General BMW forum, there’s a bloody battle of brother vs brother now that Mperformance cars will be part of future M lineups

Lots of crushed egos and insecure little boys wanking about

Nothing like it...the S85 is one of the best engines ever designed and manufactured. Awarded International Engine of the Year 4 times!! The i8 gets thumbs up from it's unique looks but the M6 is a raw animal with the Tubi Exhaust and the tune makes it a raw animal always ready to kick azz.
I will always have this car.

My high school car, a '67 Dodge Dart, would top out around 85. And that took a couple of miles of pedal to the floor to reach.

Had an FJ1200 that I hit triple digits (barely) with just once. The head shake that suddenly popped up scared the shit out of me. Never pushed it that high again.

Mine was dark blue with a grayish-blue vinyl interior. The vinyl interior was the best part. Who cares if your buddies spilled beer. Just hose it out.

The front vents with the little doors were awesome. They would just swallow a Michelob bottle, so you could keep your beer cold. We used to call them "torpedo tubes."

Don't get the no passenger rule but with a passenger I hit 140ish at NOLA Motorsport in my stock E90 M3 on several occasions. Only mod is Akra Evolution exhaust and a BPM stage 2 tune for the high flow cats.

You can't claim the speed if YOU were the passenger!

Nicely done...I haven't driven NOLA since the death out there a couple of years ago.

Ahh... I just read no passengers and misinterpreted that! The track is nice but like everything in the region it is dead flat. The worst was watching a fellow I was approaching from behind money shift his E39 M5 in the straightaway...

Actually had more fun at the two-day M school in SC even though we didn't hit those kinds of speeds.

150ish on my Honda 929rr. Stock everything. Somewhere in Mexico. Flew past a deer standing on the side of the road just waiting to dart out in front of me. Dumbest thing I've ever done. No wait the first marriage at 22 years old was dumber. OK, second dumbest thing I've ever done. Scared the piss out of me.

Quite a few of us have already posted our MPH/KPH achievements while in the saddle.

Haven't gotten flamed or booted yet!
