A little update today I did a little D-tour over the German Autobahn and there was a free gap so I floored it and see if I could hit 300km/h....and it didyes also little room for more but at 300km/h there's a big wall of air to go through and that slows the car down...but I think 310km/h is possibleyes its a monsterhehe its the first time in my live I managed to get that speed finally I'm a member of the 300+ club, and the car still felt stable! Hartge did a good job I must say...

Yep looking out for that other monster car in the North also to meet some forum members therethumbup

When you start the Hartge the engine revs a bit more and then goes to stationary...a nice sound that give's you a smile, a system just like some new Aston's have...and accelerating with windows down is music to your earsyes its like a little grizzly bear in attack modehehe

the funny thing is it was black metallic as it came from the BMW factory starting the live as a Z3 m coupe when Herbert Hartge bought the car(the old documents chassis-number told this and under the bonnet you can see the mattblack what they paint under the bonnet) and also was de-badged when they striped it all! and work on the body to make it stronger and painted all Titansilbermetallic the House color of Hartge...so I guess its all under the skinidea
The did a real makeover, even the complete interior, which looks original but was completely different when it left the factory from BMW..there's much more as what you think they did on this car soon some more picture details think within 3 weeks orso I make some pointed out picture's

As I discovered, 300km/h in my Hartge is "easy" to do and the car feels stable too, better then I thought...all test are done ofcorse on a German derestricted autobahn

also a little test because some asked me how fast from this to that, well the test I did 2 times are as follows

from 30km/h to >>> 160km/h in just 7.6 sec

from 30km/h to >>> 200km/h in just 12.2 sec

so both faster then I thought it could do, tested both 2 times with a rolling start from steady 30km/h then floor it.

Also today I discovered against a Dodge Viper GTS that mine was just as fast in at least a few points heavy, cause mine is also a lot lighter so power to weight just as good or a bit better then the Viper, so I'm very happy with the fast Hartge Z3 coupe 5.0


The rev counter in the V8 only goes to 7.000rpm(red after 6.500rpm) but the tacho goes to 300km/h and doing 150 at 3.000rpm and the 6.000rpm is easy to get to in 6th gear I think I could get maybe 320km/h on the tacho cause its 300km/h at 6.000rpm so a bit more to come when I really try it to the end...love ityes I mean that this car can do that and the way how it does that
