201?
Thanks for posting!! I love the video of the C5 on the autobahn in Germany at the end of the blog. It definitely isn't a stock engined C5. I never knew the HUD dropped the 2 when you hit 201 km/hr (123 mph) in that video. I wonder what would have happened at 301 km/hr. Looks like the fastest he got up to was 298 km/hr = 185 mph. Wish we had roads like that in the US, but the way people drive here, especially around Miami they'd have accidents by the dozens each day and of course someone would be in the passing lane going 50 mph. As I remember from my military days in Germany it is a major offense to pass on the right or have your headlights on on the autobahn unless it's raining or after dusk. I just noticed his blinker is on for part of the video - if I remember correctly that's a no no too on the autobahn.
