It nice and all but when you've seen top-fuel dragsters do the scary side of 330mph down the quarter mile, it's a bit bit meh lol.

Waste of money...

For those with money to waste.

We have no autobahn here in the states so you'd never get this puppy out of third gear without risking jail time.

I'd prefer a car that goes 0 to 60 in a few seconds, where you can lay a C note on the dash and offer it to your passenger... if they can grab it during acceleration.

You would not even want to get near that speed on a public autobahn. All other vehicles would be that much slower than you and wouldn't expect a car coming from behind at that speed. A fatal crash would be next to unavoidable.

There is a certain point where putting more power in a car simply doesn't have any benefit anymore except for a felt penis enlargement. You can't use the power anywhere, hell, a 2 miles long straight wasn't enough to get it to it's top speed so you wouldn't even be able to fully utilise the power on a closed race track. So what's the point (except for the above mentioned change in male anatomy)?

What about the I-state in Montana? I heard there was no maximum speed limit.
