Default Not really...wasn't floored though...was running out of room on a several...
mile straightaway in Nevada...

It went straight through the speed-limiter (err, I guess "no-limiter" without hesitation...

It was accelerating fairly slowly at that point but I suspect the mild wind (cross-wind into me right to left) had something to do with it.

Default Long barren straightaway with no visible cops...and no airplanes above ;)
in Nevada...
Hit my land-speed record in my A6 4.2 in close to the same spot one year earlier...
