That big Euro 6.0 litre, and high rear end gear ratio, allows the car to move extremely fast. The AMG suspension allows the car to perform like it was travelling at a much slower speed, and you can just kinda cruise at even the highest speeds. I Guess you've never had the pleasure of riding in one though. I'll take a speedo pic and post it for you asap, and you'll see for yourself. It will far exceed the 240kmh mark, whatever U.S. speed that calculates to, I don't really know, but it doesn't matter anymore once you are moving like that anyways..
You might achieve such a speed on I-91, but, as I previously mentioned, NFW you do it on the Merritt..........in the dark..........and live to tell about it.

100 mph would be critical speed on the Merritt.........one false move at that speed and you're toast.
