I'm not doubting the top speed (even though believe me there is probably one stretch of road in the whole of Greece where he could take it up to there safely!)....haven't checked the thread but i'm guessing that he's fitted a gearbox with long enough gears to allow him.
I've been in a Fiat Coupe 20v tuned to about 330bhp and saw 280kph on the clocks (on THAT piece of road) so if he is anywhere near the power he states then he is limited by his gearbox!
My comment wasn't an attack at you pagani, good luck to the old chap and his Astra, its just that these cars here are driven with no respect whatsoever to other people on the road, as shown by his videos.
There are so many deaths on greek roads due to people thinking they are Colin McRae that I get annoyed. On the other hand, there are no real race tracks and drag strips so people resort to this stuff.
