Comparing a top speed run on the Autobahn to the Vmax speed reached at Marham on the 30-130 day is like comparing apples with marsh-mellows..
An autobahn run can go on for as long as the engine holds out (traffic dependent) or until a long enough down hill stretch is found. Marham's runway is 1.6 miles long and that includes the braking area AND a good 1/4 mile is missed when entering the runway/starting area at 30mph. I would say the actual running area before braking is just over a mile. Now compare that with Carl's 4 mile run on the autobahn on a different day in different conditions and tell me they are even in the same category..?
My mates S2+ S3 made 158mph at this years 30-130mph.. This was the same result for 2 S2+ S3's the year before..
Did he say he could have got more?
Was it DSG?
It's was a manual mate and without the weather cutting the day short I dare say another 1-2 mph would of been possible with a few more brave pills, but that would be about it..
