190 MPH run
Warning, handheld video on course where folks should not run this fast thus it is VERY shaky. Take dramamine 90 minutes prior to viewing.

WOW! That is awesome Derek. How much did she have left? Do you think you could have hit 200+ mph (the rpms looked like there was still some decent room left)? Thanks for sharing.
Freeze 0:55... it looks like headlights coming from the other direction... but I could be wrong

I had about 8-900 rpms left, I think.
Both you and I are 100% Kleemann and they told me flat out that the Kleemann ECU is limited to 185....you have another ECU or something.

I drive a E55T, SLK55 and 65 Mustang Conv.
What is really funny is that I am the only one here I think who's first thought on seeing that video was D*MN I have a lot of respect for Derek's wife. Now there is a lady I would like the pleasure of meeting one day! Talk about seeing things from both sides of the fence

Outstanding! The benchmark by which all others are to be judged. There's the reason for the phrase "E Ticket Ride"! Derek you have ***** of steel man!

As a GSXR buddy of mine used to say....at that speed, you are one raccoon away from finding out finally if there is a God.
Whew....you are the master of kahunas!
