My first guess would be a session on a STAR machine? My second guess is approx 185mph?
without sounding like a complete newb, whats a star machine, main dealer?

STAR is the diagnostic system used to code options, modules and erm, diagnose faults 
Every dealer has one and quite a few independants. Unfortunately the depth of knowledge required to do some of the more complex coding is not that common. Dealers are generally very reluctant (= refuse) to 'tinker' with official settings

yep i love speed, only reserved for runways though
will be doing some top speed runs with her once the limiter has gone, have so far got to 193mph (gprs) in the supra i modified, was kinda hoping i could crack the 200mph with a few mods to this, but will have to do a heck of a lot more research yet

Get a re-map and this will de-limit it.
A Star can't do it.

Maff had a CL65 mapped by DMS to 700bhp ...
VMax at Bruntingthorpe was 192 mph , Matt did crack the double ton on an autobahn , but needed several miles to do it ...
Doubt a standard CL600 would crack 200 ...

Seem to remember he had some problems with reliability though ... turbo(s) went??
I agree that a standard CL600 is very unlikely to reach 200 mph.
Serious speed freaks on here! Was it not better to get an actual sports car for this? SL63/CL63? Thought the CL63 was the most powerful production car available? Wouldn't this be an easier base to start from?

I seem to remember Saleen turbo'd their S7 called it the S7R or something like that and it took away the Veyrons crown
Veyron definitely the most expensive production car.
The CL65 was for a brief time around 2004-ish... If I remember rightly
(Production car that is)
