[/quote]Never noticed the MPG as you can imagine at that speed but considering we did 1,200 miles, 4 passengers, travelling mostly at 95mph+ on restricted m'ways, 120 - 157 on autobahns and 5 flat out laps of the Nurburgring it avergaged 27.5MPG. I'd say that was very good considering the thrash the car got.

[/quote]That's quite amazing really... I guess you have to have your eyes glued to the road at that speed! Most I've done is about 130mph at that was quite scary - passing cars (doing about 65-70mph) on the motorway as if they were stationary!

I wonder if you have time to think while going at such speed.

[/quote]You think...alot! Like how about to remove the limiter? How fast would it go without it? Tryed even to assume on a calculation based on the revs....like at 3000rpm i was doing 220 and at 3500-3600 255km/h.

[/quote]Yeah, but think of how far you can go if you take your foot off the gas pedal and let the car coast!
