Default Running flat out on the autobahn

(note I DO have a 997 RS, but this is of another car I own..a Hartge-delimited BMW M6. We took a couple of M6s out on the Autobahn for a flat- out run on June 6 2006. The car was two weeks old at the time..... http://youtube.com/watch?v=TTMKkPxei0I

Nice.
Well, that's the Autobahn.
When I lived there, my BMW struggled to hit 140mph, and I thought that was fast.

The amazing thing is the Autobahn at 200mph is safer than the LA freeways at 70....

Nice video. I'm not about to try it here in Dallas, but it was nice to see practically every single car move over. Very rare out here.

They did a slight change to some engine settings which were within recommended BMW range so no warranty issues. Both limiter removed. Dyno results were 535bhp against published 507bhp. They told me there is quite a large range of actual HP on the V10.
