Default First Mercury 1550-Powered DCB M35 Reaches 180 MPH

Wow! DCB's Tony Chiaramonte ran the company's latest M35 Widebody—its first with twin 1550/1350 engines from Mercury Racing—up to 180 mph its first time out.

If only you guys dabbled in the metric system, that's pushing towards 300 kmh. What a magnificent number?

(288 kmh, you only need another 7.5 mph to break the 300 k mark)

Has a DCB ever went over backwards? Or is that a Skater thing?

The Silver DCB that went through the roost and over doesnt count.

^^^^Same end result and reason - pushing past the limits at the moment of no return / driver error.

185 in anything is hauling the mail.....technology and Hp is a wonderful thing for speed freaks in this day and age.
