That's 260 on a drag straightaway, or road circuit?
[guy like you needs a scenix, not a pic].

There were a few Audis, Beemers, and Merks that would do
about 250 on the autobahns - mainly late at nite after dark
and little traffic. You're sitting there doing 160, guy comes
outa the dark in 2 seconds from nowheres, and goes by in 2
more seconds with an incredible doppler shift - like a jet,
eeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuwwwwwwwwwwwwww :-)
