TL 6mt VS M3
#41
I was talking strictly in gears alone that would handle such speeds. Power required to get to that speed is a whole another story. Yes you would need more power on the TL 6MT to get to 180.

It's killing me not knowing how fast I'm running now, but the altitude/weather corrections tool had me listed at 14.23. And that was before a host of mods. I've had my throttle body and TCS body bored out by Kings Motorsports, bored out my intake, added headers and had the ceramic coated, a hiflow CAT and some aftermarket motor mounts. Yeah, hard to believe I ran that time without all these mods.
Anyway, take care.

runnin a little boost

Also 4th gear is close to 20 MPH per 1000 rpm, so fuel cut off is around 7000 RPM, so about 140 MPH at fuel cut off in 4th. 6th gear is about 30 MPH per 1000 rpm so fuel cut out would be at 210 MPH if you were on the moon with no wind resistance and a removed speed limiter.

By the way, the stock 550i has 360 HP at the crank. My car was dynoed at 298 HP/313 lbft by Mustang dyno (more conservative than DynoJet) and that was before Dinan tune (390 HP at the crank).

I've been better.
But cars are keeping me young.
Traffic has become a challenge, I won't run someone if I don't have clear sailing . . too risky otherwise.

'04 - '06 all trims: Limited to somewhere ~150 - 155 (at that speed the speedo is a little unreliable).
'07 - '08 TL-S 6 MT: Same as above.
'07 - '08 TL/TL-S 5AT: Limited at ~130 - 135.
'07/'08 AT's changed trannies to one based off of the RL, which is also limited at ~130 - 135.

I'm also more cautious lately. The local government are so broke these days that they send the cops out everywhere to generate revenue. I don't engage in high speed run anymore, only at stoplight (almost get caught once) ![Tongue](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

And yes, PM me when you get in town. Hopefully you can make it around the end of the month and join us at Cars & Coffee.
