I was able to hit the speed limiter a few times on the way back to Houston, it is so nice to drive this car at a pace of ~120 smooth, still quiet, it just floats!

S500 - 96
envious me - want to go 200 km per hour
Nice speeding.
I wish I could get away with it up here in Seattle.
I have a technical question, if I may.
I noticed the oil pressure indicator to be quite low at this high speed.
I would think that at this speed and rpm the indicator would peak at 3?
Isn't the engine working hard?

At almost 130 mph I'm seeing 4400 rpm aprox. so you could say the engine is running a little hard, but not too hard
. Holding the car at that speed comes very natural for the car, it just floats!

Oh my mistake
After looking closer I see you are right!
On my S500 (-96), that's where the oil pressure is located.
I would love to test drive your car. BTW have you had the opportunity to compare with a E500?
