BTW - Where the hell did that Lincoln come from?

I don't know if the Euro Versions are different, but I know for sure the car can go 283 km/h which is 175.8 mph and thats pretty much all I had the ***** for. I have the picture at home on my laptop and will post when I get home.
The first day I was test driving the car I had it to 246 km/h (152.8 mph). I had to slow down because I was starting to run into thick traffic on the autobahn.

I know the feeling brother. I got off it at 155 and yes that is in Miles Per Hour. The car actually felt quite happy at that speed too. No vibration, no touchy steering. It felt right at home on the Autobahn. (on A63 from Kaiserslautern towards Mainz on the loooong straightaway.

Back then (last summer) I have a 2004 with light weight fly wheel and exhaust with CAT. I maxed out between 149 and 150 mph the highway going up to Crane Lake near International Fall around 5 am. The car will get there pretty quick.
