K-rado 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Hmmmm. Not in this country. Mind you on a very quiet/very early M1 Many years ago, Took the old Vr6 to 145. Loads of life left in her and felt very poised. It was derestricted and had her up to 175 flat out up the road in silverstone. but 201 on public roads? I dont think so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K-rado 0 Posted December 27, 2004 BMW driver. nuf said :roll: food for thought! road angle is only a box of on of switches and resisters ect. M5 could be a 518i with a badge and twin port exaust. sticker on the screen. best stop there :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rallye 0 Posted December 27, 2004 These 518i's (not that they did any 4banger E39s) sound good these days! Tim Little vid of 'M5 NFB' - Click me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted December 28, 2004 our company fit gps tracking and monitoring devices, and we have had a couple of trace reports showing transit vans doing 155mph down a cul-de-sac in liverpool, so yes it is possible for gps to show false data especially during millitary action. unless ford have started fitting jet engines into transits :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted December 28, 2004 Jesus.. 201MPH. If they caught you doing that, a loss of license or a fine would be the least of your worries. You'd be going to jail. Great on a track, but if that was on a public road thats pretty shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted December 28, 2004 NICE u sure its a proper M5 though :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 28, 2004 Er.. well if its doing 201MPH, i'd say its a fair bet that its not a rebadged 520i ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted December 28, 2004 :mrgreen: lol jim u nutter...i think i wrote that totallly wrong... what i meant was,,, is it modded and how much...dont think a std M5 could do 201mph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted December 28, 2004 I doubt very much its a true 201mph. I was sat waiting at the train station picking up the Mrs and my 'New' Road Angel went wandering off. I was doing 45mph at one point, whilst parked!! I'm sure its an oppurtune photo taken during a GPS glitch ;) Happens when its not quite locked on completely. Indicator on the far-right of the Road Angel's screen proves my point - it has no signal. It's a fake, ladies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rallye 0 Posted December 29, 2004 another piccy.... andi's spot on, RA had a spastic moment. Oh and it is a M5, they will do 186mph as stock, the new M5 will do 202mph. So one day i could be posting a true 201mph 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
