One thing breaks on that car its going to cost 1,000 to repair. Pointless to have such an overpowered, ugly, and expensive car when you cant even really use it to it's potential.
The fastest I've driven was 120 mph in a 98 bmw 328I and the fuckign thing was getting pushed around by the wind like it was paper. I wouldn't do it again XD
Ugly?! I don't know what they put in American water, but that car is beautiful! Both of them are.
None of you are appreciating what the car has achieved. It's the fastest production car on the road. Not only has it broken 1000bhp, but it's also the fastest thing out there. The engineering on it has to be absolutely perfect, else it won't work. Imagine having the balance wrong at 253mph - you'd flip for sure. And what about if the engine couldn't handle the power? You'd be driving an expensive timebomb. Looks aren't everything.
But I suppose I'll have to let you off...you've probably never seen more than 3 episodes of Top Gear, let alone any of the episodes with these cars in them.
And if you've got a privately owned place to let it go out at full whack, well, there you go. Some of it's potential has been used.
Mercedes CLK 55 AMG 4 t w. I'm sure it could get to 1000+ hp after spending less than 9 mil.
EDIT: Oh and to Sov's problem. Most likely what was happening was the oil wasn't lubricating the engine as it should have been and as such was causing friction which would cause the rpms to drop faster than normal.
