Imagine being flat out in your Enzo and 5 people come flying past in that 
I LOVE the shape of the CLS... Evo mag had a black Rocket a few months ago. Looked amazing.

You know that the Enzo would be going back to the dealership/factory for a health check if it happened

No rods car can NOT do that speed, as it isnt geared for it.
But it COULD show it a clean pair of heals at brunters, that CLS would probably only crack 190mph just about in such a small space.

Its alot about Aerodynamics and I bet Merc made it slippy and Brabus even more so!!

Also does 0-300kph in 32secs. Rod would be able to tell if that was fast enough for 200mph at Brunters wouldn't he?

Utterly nowhere near fast enough mate!
To do 200mph at brunters you need to be doing 0-186mph in about 22 seconds max.
32 seconds might just about crack 190mph, but i already told you that, lol

Porkie, just to put into perspective how slow that 32 seconds is.
Rods car does 0-186 in 19 seconsd.
That means that car could have a 13 seconds lead.
That car probably does 0-100 in 13 seconds, so it could go past Rod doing 100mph, while he was still parked up, and he would still get to 200mph as quickly, lol

Why not de-limit it?
