When my HUD was reading 208 the GPS showed only 196 so not a bad margin of error I think. Based on that I guess the 211 was probably around 200mph. Based on the RPM at 208/196 the car should easily hit 204 with a long enough road. But it is climbing very slowly at speeds above 200! With a basically modded car with RPIS scoops those speeds should make a big difference and quite easily pass the 204.... Will find out later this year, have a special trip planned

I wonder what it would be like to be able to drive 200mph legally on the highway. That'd shorten the commute, eh...

Also kill your wallet. The gas almost disappears from the tank at 150. It has got to be really bad at 200
