I wonder is it possible to see any higher readings than 260 kph. Maybe from I drive, but not speedo. This based to that fact that speedo is electrical and in diagnostics mode it does not go over 260, which is the last reading. In "normal" models at least!

I just drove 160Km/h (100 mph) on a tow truck. Nobody was scared when I passed them on the left lane.

Unfortunately I had the truck with me and had to leave early again, so I didn't had the car with me.
