My car goes to 274km/h (true measuring - 285 on speedo) FWIW.

Also fun while you are there: a trip to the Nurburgring. It's a public toll road with no speed restrictions. Best to keep it easy at first though, it's rather...um ... unforgiving.

Been there about 15 times. 300 meters height difference from highest to lowest point. Quite the roller-coaster. Bit of a hate love relation as it's absolutely the nicest track you can ever drive, but also lost a friend there, and many friends totaled their cars there too. And when you crash, you also have to pay for the damage to the armco... Ask me how I know.
