Nice pic Robert. I was expecting someone to say I was talking crap, not the opposite of confirming my post. I would guess that you also had the AC switched on at the time seeing the outside temp of 29.5C. I did too on my run and the car was loaded up to the hilt as well with all my worldly goods while I was re-locating back to the UK from Greece. The trunk, the rear seats and rear footwells as well as the passenger seat and footwell were completely filled to the brim. There was only enough room for me behind the steering wheel. But with the self levelling suspension it still handled brilliantly and comfortable at these speeds. I would also guess from your pic that you have the same model Euro 560 SEC with all 300HP as I do. Where were you at the time driving at this speed?
Regards,
Vance.
- that photo is copied from benzworld.org. I keep it on file to show those who doubt the Merc's potential. I've only taken my 560SEC up to 220kph thus far. I'm not sure that I would be taking my hand off the wheel at 260kph to take a picture...
Robert
