This is a great quote. It reminds me of something Carroll Shelby once said about his Shelby Mustangs and Cobras. He was asked his opinion about how people are now pampering them, gargage-ing them, trailering them, etc. Basically, doing everything but DRIVING them. They had become so valuable that they weren't being driven. He was very angry and said something like, "Dammit! I made these cars to be DRIVEN"!

Again, well said.

@ Autobahnraser

I´m absolutely speechless! That was just sick, definately one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. For how long do you think you could drive at top speed without having a problem with the Corsas. I´ve always had that doubt.

@ Ronan

Nice way to get your car delivered! You guys are really brave.

The M6 tested during the Sport Auto Supertest did an effective, GPS measured top-speed of 259 km/h. The displayed speedo top speed was 270 km/h.
So you have to subtract about 15 km/h from the speedo-speed when driving top speed (340 - 15 = 325 km/h).
Exceeding the max. tire-speed for a short time is no problem either.

With the PZeroCorsas you are pretty safe!

Over 300 km/h the difference is decreasing is my information directly from the M GmbH. At your speed it should be more 5-7 km/h difference.

True. If you see my video at 270 km/h on the speedo (limiter) that is 260 km/h measured by GPS:

Many thanks Gustav

great video. You almost can see how the needle of the gas tank moves at that speed.

Fantastic video.

I can't help but notice that at the start of the video it's rather dark (due to the early morning pre-dawn). Then at the end of the video the sun is coming up and it's relatively light. Now the video is just 3:44 long. I'd say y'all covered enough of mother earth in 3 mins. to catch up to the sunrise.

Well..we were doing over 5km a minute...its actually not so brave because the M6 is a very stable platform and also Autobahnraser knew the road..it was very easy for me to stay back a distance and see his line..
