brings back the time that I rented a BMW M5 in Hamburg
and head south towards Munich. I was doing a steady
230kmh and a tiny Mercedes passed me on the left... left
me feeling like I was standing still. Later I learned that it
was one of those Mercedes modified by Brabus. The M5
that I was driving was more than capable to reach appx
250kmh, but I was told that was it... limited by the car's
computer. A modified Mercedes had no such restrictions
and could probably do 300kmh easily.
