145 mph on the A45

[Krautchimaera]

Hello there, just to cool you down, the A45 is a motorway in Germany and not one of those many private roads that you have in England;). Yesterday was a wonderful warm night and returning from a friends home I gave my 400 a good trash down the motorway. I read a lot about 400 running out of steam in 5th, but mine would pull to an indicated 145 (with the roof down) when I had to lift my foot due to a silly driver changing line at maybe 70 to overtake a lorry. Mind you I doo have a little problem with the feel of the car. the car did not feel planted at all !! I really needed the whole lane as the car without really using the steering wheel would be all over the lane. especially over 120mph. I do not have a splitter fitted, so I wonder if that would help. the car certainly feels very light up front at that sort of speed.
But the best part of the way home was going through a tunnel accelearting through 2nd and third up to almost 6000 rpm.
got to do it again tonigth. what a sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
