If the engine can produce ‘X’ max HP and that results in ‘Y’ mph top speed, then basic physics can tell you how much drag the car has.

I find it interesting that the max speed is governed to 155 mph; same as bullet weight in international Palma and FULLBORE shooting. Also, the ungoverned top speed is 190 mph, close to the 185 grain bullet weight commonly used in domestic Palma matches with ‘un-governed’ bullet weight.

As for ‘come-ups’, if you have to know the drop of the car, you’re not driving it right!

The rear deck lid has the correct angle to handle the turbulance.

I wanted to see what happened when the M5 entered the transonic region on the cool down lap.
