In Reply to: haven't seen a stock m3 engine spin 8000 w/o posted by bending a few valves....(more) on November 19, 2000 at 21:46:34:

I've seen pic of M3 on this board with both the speedo and tach pegged. 160mph and 8000rpm. Of course not stock, but don't hear much about mods to internals like cams or valves. Mostly software, turbo, sc, intakes, exhaust. Not a mechanic, but aside from software, do these impact valve timing?



it is limited to 137mph electronically. i have no idea why, but it is not a gear limited speed. w/o the limiter, a stock m3 should see 150 at least.
