Did a session at the Nurburg GP circuit yesterday, followed by a gentle drive home with a little excursion into the 300+ club
Enjoy

I presume traffic got in your way, but with your increased HP you should easily reach quite a bit higher!
Mine (stock) stops at 331km/h, bang on at 8k rpm.
edit: not GPS verified of course

Sorry to disappoint Mr Wolf: no traffic. As Yellow491 correctly points out above; another gear would be handy. It has a closer ratio gearbox than stock hence the limiter reached in short order. No more fun for me beyond the peak reached in the video.
TBH though, top speed isn't really the car's top trump. I took it on track, just before taking this video and it was an absolute delight. Feedback, response and beautifully poised precision were unmatched by anything else on track that day (458, Lambo, MP4-12C, 997GT2...). Nothing to do with my driving prowess, just the car really is a delight to throw around. Shame I didn't have the skill to get the most from the car and being my first real outing in the car and also on this track it was a bit a learning exercise.
I had a couple of friends in tow; one in a 964RS and the other in a 7.2GT3. Both have far more experience than me at this circuit. The GT3 had a camera mounted on-board and was on my tail the whole session. He has promised to send me a copy of the video when he gets a chance. If it captured all the antics, it should be quite entertaining. I'll upload a copy if/when received
As it stands, I know of nothing else that provides this level of entertainment without taking your cloths off; flinging this Mezger'd monster around such a beautiful circuit just leaves a permanent

How could I've missed that...my eyes were fixated on the speed in your vid, didn't even look at the rpm
Makes sense now!
