[W126 Coupe] Interesting event

[Mike Ramay]

Dan, 

Are those figures pretty accurate for an SEC? Any idea if they include AMG
air dams or side skirts, or even what those pieces would do?

 

I estimated that I would be reasonably close to 475 HP with my LS6 since it
already measured that on a dyno, which results in a theoretical 185 mph top
speed. Whaddya think - I need bigger brakes too? :-)

 

Later,

Mike R.

Doing the math the 155 in top gear is the theoretical top speed at red line
(look at your tach at 77 MPH). Depending on the aerodynamics you need ~350HP
to get to 155.

 

The stock US 560 should be good to get ~ 130-140 MPH.
