I saw somewhere and could have swore the max top speed on 7dsg is at least 220(?) Correct me if I'm wrong though!

If anyone else has a top speed run that they'd be willing to share, feel free to drop it! I'd love to see if we can push higher!

It was drag limited to 180mph, still had a ways to go to the rev limiter.
Just imagine how hot everything is being WOT that long, definitely risking cylinder #4 piston ring lands. Being low on fuel ups the risk as well.
Speaking of risk, yes, yes that was overall very risky in general. Thanks for keeping the shiny side up!

I think he meant E85, I went back and watched the video. Looks like a full tank

I missed that thank you, so definitely a plus there as EGT is significantly reduced running E as well

Yeah bruh, nothing like seeing those lane markers go brr
I went 140 once - in a built Dodge Dakota of all things - but try to stay under triple digits these days. I like having a driver's license.
There was a video clip on RUF testing a Porsche on the Autobahn a ways back. Supposedly, they test every car to certify it's performance.
The dude was going 211 with two other people and camera rig (back when they were heavy) in the car. At night.

I think it was a few years before that one.

That's still pretty insane, the autobahn at night seems a little dicey.

(Like I'm one to talk though.)
They claimed late night was the only safe time to do it, due to the high closure rate and traffic volume.
