http://www.ruf-automobile.de/content...hr=&details=14 -from the horse's mouth...look at the bottom right of that page - don't know if the weight difference would help the GT2 anywhere past that. It's not like we're ever going to find out right

apples to apples - the car in the Exc article is a 590 whereas your car, Adam's car (I believe), and my car (sort of 
) are all 550 cars. But, it does mention the taller gear ratio is what helped them get up there. I'd be curious to know how they measured the Vmax. I now know from driving around with the Racelogic box in my car that my speedo is about 3mph fast.

Martin,
Your car is purely limited by the gearing, so it would slam into the rev limiter at 205mph.
Mr Rufs 550 R turbo (MN RT 350) hit 217mph
That blue car is a 590(+) engine, and managed 221 on the GPS that ruf own, driven by H.P Lieb the ruf head tech and test pilot.
I was purely taking from the tacho, i know its not accurate but it felt pretty quick
Im back in the UK now, and have been driving at 70mph for 2 hours, and to be blunt, it stinks
best,
adam
