    And have taken a picture of the speedometer.
    Of course in a "safe situation"
    Saw a guy here doing 333km very very impressive...
    For me only pushed the 458 '11 up to 280 and there was no chance for me to snap.
    Will be going to the tracks soon again!

    Yup, 333 (well, actually for a split second 334 appeared on the speedo) for me it is, as the picture you've seen before.

    120 Mph and accelerating hard over a very open road stretch with zero on/off ramps.

    I believe this car would tag 200mph +

    137mph. I was approaching a curve so I didn't look at the speedo (much less take a picture!!), but I checked the Trip recording afterwards and was somewhat shocked about how fast I was going.

    I've gone through curves with the 458 at 50 mph that were a lot more fun and exciting than going fast in a straight line. That's what the car was really made for.

    So accurate. I have had more fun at 50mph thru 30mph curves in this car. It is great to be safe and watch the traffic fall back as they have to brake in the corner!

    Following you.

    My top speed 281 km per hour.
    Doesn't exist enough highways to reach the top.

    145mph for a short time.

    I also enjoy going around a 30-35 curvy road at 50-55. A lot of fun in this car.

    Me too, but one time it might have crept up to 58 when I wasn't looking.

    I just did 280 km/hr yesterday. Previous best was 260. That's in a straight line. On twisties I get more conservative as the G forces scare me.

    Noticed that you are in Dubai. Will you be able to tell me where you did 280 km/h? I can't seem to find a long enough road that does not have speed cameras.

    On the way to Fujairah. Same place tomtom did his 333. Obviously, you have to leave the congested city areas infested with speed cameras and go outside a bit.

    At Monticello on Thursday I had a few passes between 155 and 160mph on the back straight before standing on the brakes for the sharp right...man do the CF brakes stink after you scrub off 100mph a few times! I think you can get another 5, maybe 10 mph, out of it if you have big enough attachments to stay all the way in it thru the kink.
