Talking Top speed demonstration E55

I recorded myself using my laptop, I tried 0-159 mph, but laptop didn't start recording until I was doing 35, so sorry for this little detail.
I re-encoded the file as a WMV, the result bad video quality but small size, 580 kb.
I only got a problem, I don't have a place to post it, could somebody do it for me? I can provide you with two versions, low bandwith (WMV) and high bandwith (MPG)

Thanks in advance

mm...no doubt it'd be very interesting to watch. but..i don't wanna sound like a party-pooper, but there was a japanese dude who drove his ferrari f40 on the freeway at 199 mph through traffic...and he was circulating the clip with the ferrari club (i believe). somehow, the police caught wind of him and prosecuted him. just be cautions. of course, if u'r on closed road or track, none of this is relevant

here's the site for the clips http://movies.taner.net/

Did you ever find a place to host the video? I can probably do it for you no problem. PM me with the details and we can discuss getting it up on a server with lots of bandwidth.

Our top speed is more likely to be limited by gears and rev limiter then.
Then we need to check who gets to top speed faster! haha.

I wonder if ECU modification is advisable for the middle east market!

Fuel quality is a major issue to recon with!
