nice vid ! must be nice to drive that fast w/o worriyng about cops or police. How does the car feel/handle at that speed?? did you have room for more in the gas pedal, or were you down to the floor?
If we get caught driving that fast over here forget it! probably loose your licence, your car impounded, and really hefty fines!

When your doing 250, you get the feeling your just coasting along, no real sense of pushing it.
The pedal was on kickdown, but i definitely had the sense it kept on accelerating after 260. (Full tank of gas and 3 people in the car doesn't really help to max out the car)
I'm returning to Germany this friday (taking a trip to the Ring and staying in a friends vacation home in "Bad Bertrich" for the weekend). If i find any unrestricted roads (which i doubt, because most of the driving will be on B-roads in the mountains), i'll enable the hidden OBD menu and see if that goes over 260.
envy.........

If you mean me, felt solid as a rock. Check out the lack of vibration at the peak speed in the video at around 2mins23secs.
At 2:10 you can clearly see there are no vibrations whatsoever. The only bumps you see are bumps that are in the road (which there were quite a few!).
