If an M5 does 194, it is not standard... Standard they are limited to 155mph.
Spoke to AMG on derestricting mine. Looks like they do it, but then 'restrict' it again at 200mph

I can tell you it feels amazing at 165+ mate, stable as you like and you can still alter course fairly easy, I've had mine out on an airfield locally.

I must admit i thought the scooby was going to undress itself when it got to 140ish when i was at bruntingthorpe last year. The rear wing vibrates like crazy, the air scoop and bonnett appear to flex etc...

Mine felt nice & stable on the air strip when it was right of the clock showing 156 on the gps equipment
