Thats a great story. If only our roads were as good as Germanys autobahns then maybe just maybe could do those sort of speeds legally.

EF XR6's do ~230km/h, I'm very suprised it (the GT) didnt go faster than 237!
(the pic in my avatar is a bit slower, but was as fast as I was willing to hold the camera with two hands to keep it steady, given the bumpy "track" conditions)
