Dunno man, It's dicey up in that range unless you've got a lot of downforce. I don't think I'd take a stock BMW above 140 on the Bahn.

Sure, add aero and a closed track, things would be different. Not sure why you'd be doing that with a G87 specifically, as opposed to a Veyron.

And if it's MT, you are getting into some crappy gear ratios and I'm not even sure that the G87 can actually get to 177. I'm sure that's into 6th gear, I doubt torque at that point can overcome wind resistance.
