a disappointing 184 for me daz...I think I'll go back to stock 993tt ratio 6th gear for the next one, tall 6th was holding me back damn it !!!

LEON

Forget about customisng the car to a VMAX spec. The longer 6th gear makes for better 200+mph driving and is a great addition to car, reducing strain on the engine. You just need to do the double ton more often to get the benfits from it. Get over to Germany when you get the opportunity and really let rip.

I need the speed trap reading, but I've made a note.

Who was driving. You weren't even there?

Charlie, I've added your car to the list. The lower speeds can partially be put down to the headwind.

Sorry Ben I can't remember the speed of the M6, although I do remember it hitting the limiter well before the laser trap.

I remember the E60 M5 two events ago hit a limit of 164mph before going through the trap. I would expect the M6 to be similar with the same running gear.
