The indicated speed must never be less than the actual speed so most vehicles report a speed that is greater than the vehicle is actually traveling.
In Europe the standards allow for up to 110% of the actual speed.
With an indicated speed of 333 KPH the actual speed could be anywhere from 186 MPH (110%) to 206 MPH (100%) or somewhere in between.
Indicated Speed-Speedo Error-Actual Speed (KPH)-Actual Speed (MPH)
333 110% 299.70 186.22
333 109% 303.36 188.50

It seems as if CongaMan has reached 206mph, in stock form, in 2006 already:

If I am not mistaking, I did see a quick bleep of 333 kph on the HUD, which equates to 208 mph.
The ONLY thing that would have made this video better, is a Ferrari or Lamborghini pulling over to the right.
Have fun out there!
I sure miss my sprints between Wurzburg and Frankfurt!
If not already, look up the Baden-Wurrtemburg Corvette Club. Some members are here on the forum and a great bunch. Lots of meets, events, cruises, Rudesheim, Normandy, HockenheimRing, NurburgRing, etc etc etc.
Also, if interested, have you looked up German Race-Wars? I believe it may have started in April, but once a month, 3 days of racing and partying and learning that "Sleep is over-rated" at Race wars! If you love car shows, Bodensee World Tuning is KILLER!!!
Ahhhh Deutschland.....A good place to be.....even better in a Vette!

Germany Race wars is a complete party scene, the track SUUUUUUCKS... The only real track I've found so far is the once per year public race day drags at the Hockenheim ring. The 1on1-motorsports.de at Bitburg is okay. The Bitburg "track" is better than German Race Wars though.
I'll have to look into the world tuning at Bodensee. I'm only about an hour from there.

Hmmm can I join? I'm down in Stuttgart, the heart of BW. Is there a website? I suppose I could just google it too.
