M3 CSL Max speed

[shimmy]

I did 120 once

[Mike R]

7000rpm in 6th (0.83) on standard final drive 3.64 and 265/30 x 19 tyres = 174mph true speed and would be 181mph with the 35 profile tyre (so no science defiance ).

Hi,

Quote - ''265x30x19 not 35''

My Bad, not use to these 19'' rims,
18'' everytime.

30 profile makes top speed at 7000 rpm in
sixth even slower then.

I've seen 178mph on GPS in a friends CSL, think it may have gone faster but our junction came up a bit quicker than expected :whistle:

164mph on the limiter in mine on brand new tyres, must get that limiter removed

We're you in the car too Neil? :hahaha:

No - Just a good memory for some of the antics I missed out on!

Hi,

If you do the Maths then based
on 7000 rpm in 6th which
would be very hard to achieve,
std Diff Ratio 3.64 and o/a diam
of wheel tyre say 614mm [265 35 19]
then if your doing over 170 mph your
defying science.

265x30x19 not 35 :hahaha:

That's 'Topaz' at the wheel of LeinsCSL's car on the Autobahn - Munich Trip. Leins was asleep in the back! :hahaha:

Despite rumours to the contrary, the Cesil can do the high-speed grand touring luxo-barge thing very well too :hahaha:

I didn't sleep through the next corner though :119:

I reckon an easy 180.... :whistle:

Will this culprit come forward ?

In reality 175mph GPS with a following breeze. If you get there your clocks will be way over 185 as they're all at least 5% over read.

However, it's pointless and like pulling teeth above 160. Not the best part of an M3 or CSL.............by far.

Dangerous too. High speed runs are killers for engines.
