Okay.... So, the idea of the Cannon Ball is to average 62 mph? After watching the link provided by Heezy, you need to add 100 mph more for the real speed.

One thing I promise to do is to do a top speed run and video tape it. It will most likely be from a dead stop to top end so we'll see how that goes. There are several areas around the race tracks we'll be going to in Nevada that provide the room I need to go all the way up.

Well I'm always curious about top speeds on many cars so this will be a good chance to see what a modded 5er can do with stock ratios. I know the M5 will do like 205 or something, so i'm very curious to see if it can get close to 200mph.
