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!

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
333 108% 307.03 190.78
333 107% 310.69 193.05
333 106% 314.35 195.33
