Nice.... Where do you think that was video taped? There were two other vehicles on the road during that test? One was a truck. Was it open road or a track where they test MACK TRUCKS too.
Second, does anyone else think it took quite the time to reach that speed? The 996 I raced in Germany hit 206 mph and I don't think it took nearly as long to reach that speed.
(trust me, I know as I seen his tail light dim rather quickly)
Still impressive!

Am I imagining or did he down shift form 6th to 5th - then do the run from 100mph in 5th, and short shifted to 6th at about 165mph... then ran 6th to 200+?
I guess that will dispell myths about 6th gear being an overdrive not meant for high speed then.
I wonder if the real "time to 200mph" runs will need to be made in 5th gear.
Thanks Thats quite an impressive proving ground oval. I was wondering why he felt that confident to keep the gas pedal pegged in th ecurve. Too bad we don't have any proving ground over here except Interstate 10.
