Lowrider you sound too lazy to even drive so why are you making such a fuss???

And no, even if you do take the restrictor off, it doesnt stop at 155mph. 155 is the limit the restrictor imposes in Europe. The Z8 would probably top 180mph. 400bhp, lighter and more aerodynamic than the M5, 180mph+ should be a doddle

no need to be sorry

Menu, i would have thought top speed would be slightly higher than that, maybe 295kph. after all an M5 does around 180mph unrestricted

i just looked around!
i found sth..
well normally it has 400 ps
from hamann there is one with 420 ps without restrictor...
with 420 it reaches 295.. so probably i was correct with my 290

It should go faster than an M5... it is supposed to be a sports car after all!
