That was excellent. Not only the car and driving that performed flawlessly (VERY HIGH confirmed top speed, at last) but also the editing, documentation and finallyl also the mention of m5board.com and m6board.com: I and also on behalf of the community thank you very much!
Russ, thanks for the vid. I had a smile on my face everytime the GPS crossed 250km all the way passed 330. My gf walked in and saw this silly look on my face while I was staring at my monitor. She probably thought I was getting off on some weird fetish web site ( well, it kinda is... )
While I may have an idea of the answer, I need to ask a couple of questions:
1 - How much fuel did you use for these 2 runs?
2 - Did any car try to play with you? Did you see a big bad Mercedes trying to bully you off the road?
I used approximately one-half tank of fuel. Fortunately I pay only about .95 US Cents per liter here in Germany.
When I brought the car home from Kelleners, I had an RS6 and a 911 play with me for a while. Neither one of them ever overtook me, but the 911 was keeping up until about 170 mph when he disapeared in my mirror. I only hit 180mph that day--nothing like yesterday, but then again the traffic was heavier too.

Excellent run and the Kellners M6 really flies!! Sounds great too...really impressing!!
Please tell me what GPS you are using and how did you manage to edit it in to the video? I'd like to do the same thing but don't know how!
Hi Congaman!
Thanks. I am using a Garmin iQue 3600a. In my opinion, Garmin makes the best GPS receivers out there. Accurate and fast signal locks. My GPS had WAAS enabled which makes it much more accurate as long as there are differential ground stations located in the area. I was close enought to Frankfurt International to get a good differential position (accurate enough for airliners carrying hundreds of people to perform approaches in heavy weather). The Garmin iQue3600a is an aviation/automotive handheld.
I use Sony Vegas ver 7.0e. I also have some .pdf's that explain some PIP editing techniques that I used in this video. Send me a PM and I can hook you up if you're interested.
Will I see you in Sweden in a couple weeks?
Cheers!
Russ

The GPS camera was mounted in that foam. I cut out a section of foam for the camera to fit. The foam bed was placed on the floor of the passenger foot well.
