As someone who's done it more times than I can count, yes, it is.

It's also a hell of a lot of fun, like a lot of other stupid things.

late model M3s can do that with no problem, the 850 v12 can most likely do it too..

Theres so many bullshit artists in this thread.

True. Probably some true stories, too, tho. Just because it sounds idiotic doesn't mean someone didn't do it.

Baloney. With VR rated tires the maximum safe speed is 165 MPH.

If you have ZR rated tires you can hit over 185 and still have a safe margin.

lol...wrong

:1orglaugh

a buck and some chnage in a 69 SS nova (369,cams,lifters,headers,flows, al the goodies)..damn i miss her,:(

160mph (250kmph) in a 2001 Vette. Scary but fun.

you mean 396 engine size.

220 km/h on my wolkswagen passat
275km/h on my Honda CBR 1100 XX

Late model M3s have the top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. Even removing the limiter with the base HP in the 340+ range the M3 does not have enough horsepower to break the wind resistance needed to crack 300 kmh.

It would have to be a seriously modded M3 minus the limiter to crack that speed. Out of the box not a chance in hell.

Edit: The original poster did say That is believable. Out of the box M3 no way.

260km/h on a 98 gsxr 600

not many straight stretches in nova scotia, could have hit 280, after that i wouldn't know.

140 in my old mustang in about a half of mile had to slow down because the front end started shakin very badly later one of my headlights feel out what a peice of shit car:2 cents:

132mph in my old S13 240sx, JWT chip put my gov. at 132mph, so it wouldnt push any futher... thats better then the stock computer allowing only 110mph..



but i was with my friend mike in his GenIII Eclipse GT and we hit 165mph... thats the fastest i been so far
