If only that was possible...

How many of you have driven "flat out" on the autobahn? I did go to 155mph (restricted) for many minutes at a time, but:

a) driving at those speeds for extended periods of time, is a little stressing, and:
b) in reality, there's so many trucks and other cars that won't go anywhere near those speeds, so you're constantly going from 150, to 100mph, and then back to 150 (and praying that some Polish truck in front decides to not change lanes right on front of you).

I'd say, where it really matters on the autobahn, is being able to go from 80-140mph as quickly as possible, and this is from my personal experience.
