This stock(?) 2018 in South Korea does 197 mph/318 km/h!

Not my video obviously, but I stumbled upon this by accident last night.

Judging by the 100-200 km/h time of 8.5-8.7 seconds, whatever tune he has to delete the top speed limiter is very mild, as thats not much faster than stock. With BM3 Stage 1 93 v9.1 my 100-200 is well over a second faster than that. My speedometer is always 1-2 mph higher than GPS at normal speeds, and 2-3 mph over GPS at autobahn speeds. With that in mind, 197 mph on the speedo is around 194 mph GPS! We have 200~ mph cars with just some tuning! From the description of his videos it appears he has suspension mods and an intake, no mention of anything else, and translate says the engine is "pure" which I'm guessing means stock.

you can make power without tuning. some race gas and downpipes and the ecu will adjust slightly to make more power. ~20-25whp if I had to guess.

not really surprising though. An e60 M5 with 440whp can hit over 200mph too.
