Video: Autobahnraser and Ronan Flat out on the bahn with the M6

ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


I am hoping this works..will upload to Google later..but for now here is the story....
I left Nurburg at 2am on June 12 to meet with Autobahnraser and his M6 on the framkfurt-Darmstadt autobahn.Lots of backroads and deer around Nurburg and 170km to go, but we arrived at the gas station at about 3:45 and had a coffee. My buddy Phil did the camera work. Two cams...one on the seatback on a bracket and one on the dash...
Autobahnraser arrived at 4am precisely..we exchged gifts, shook hands..(he is a great guy), and took off into the German dawn. He is a very precise and confident driver and it was easy to follow him....even at 200mph....
Here is what happened.....(you need the latest version of Quicktime to see this and turn the sound up.....

it may take a while to load but I hope you like it...2 M6s at 200pmh on the Autobahn

Google Video here.

Youtube video here.

Many thanks to Autobahnraser for his experience and help......

Holy cr@p! Nice vid! Just think, how often will you have
a chance to be chasing another car at 200mph? I really need my
ECU remapped but sadly I don't feel the roads are safe enough
around here for a flat out run like this.

Thats why I picked the car up in Germany and had it delimited by Hartge.

For me its not about owning the car..its about using it....

Yeah, if I had it to do again I would do the same. You made
a wise decision. Not to mention the option of Individualized.
Oh well...next time.

You're welcome, Ronan!

Got my M6's ECU tuned by Hartge as well (~520 bhp and no limiter).
After reaching 330 km/h (7900 revs in 7th gear) the digital HUD speedo freezed.
Apparently it doesn't display speeds over 330 km/h, or my M6 is limited at 330 km/h.
I will do some extensive high-speed test drives in the near future and examine the movement of the speedo *needle* more colsely this time.
I wonder what top speed the M6 is able to do.

Regards

You are mistaken here. It was the Autobahn A3 (Aschaffenburg-Frankfurt)!
