Maybe it's different for cars made for the German market. Maybe they don't need it. It feels lightning fast when I hit the gas pedal. Of course it might already have one fitted I've never felt like I was missing anything in terms of responsiveness.

Don't forget to remove the fire extinguishers from your garage too, that'll really speed up your car!!!

Good one. I did one of those from Amsterdam to Munich. I had my laptop connected to my Canon iS200 (because the intervalometer is better via their software) and had it taking an image every 10 seconds at 640x480 (so I could more easily make a movie from them. Their software crashed and my laptop ran out of juice so I abandoned the idea. I'll do it again next time, now I've got a newer netbook. For shorter trips though I prefer to record video and then use Windows MovieMaker to speed it up. You can just keep dropping 2x speed effects onto it. That 16 minute trip yesterday ended up being a 1 minute video
