Default Fastest M7 in the Half Mile
What is the fastest M7 half mile trap speed in the 1/2 mile?

Have anyone gone 180 in the half with a stick car?

Not stock!!

If the car is a stock Z06 I think 160 would be about max in a standing start 1/2 mile.

Is the M7 slower in the half than the A8?

Yes. Auto's have a 2.41 rear gear and a transmission that shifts without human error

I don't think I have ever seen a M7 over 175 in the half. Hoping someone can confirm?

I wasn't sure if the A8 was geared better at 180 plus. I have noticed 5th gear on the M7 is pretty tall. I found this on YouTube. He ran 180.5.

Steven I think this is the record for a M7 car man.... The one silverboost posted just says he went 180.5 in the comments.....really no proof.

Not saying that black car didn't do it, but I am skeptic.

I would say less than half the owners are members here. The fastest M7 likely is not a going to be a poster.

I did a 171mph pass at an event in Illinois last year. I am also certain that there are others making enough power to go significantly faster than that with the right gearing, a solution for traction and better driving of course.
