Thanks for the comments.
It is one of the most incredible feelings of freedom that you feel when you enter such a clear derestricted autobahn with such a car as the r turbo.
A few observations:
I felt that the car was not going to go much faster,
It was really stable, i wouldnt try it or advise it, but i bet if you only had one arm you could drive it at that speed....
We went through nearly a half a tank of fuel in no more than 20mins.
It was interesting to compare the video to alexs CGT run to 200mph. The r turbo was quite a bit quicker from 170mph(Alex starts in 6th so before that a comparison is unfair):

Perhaps it one could surmise that the CGT has quite a lot of downforce but this sacrifices top speed acceleration.
Brakes felt awesome. Didnt have to use them hard, but near the end of the film you see a campervan, and i didnt want to go past him at 200mph, and the car just scrubs off the mph with consumate ease.
Hitting bugs at 200mph is fun too, they just obliterate onto the windscreen!

speaking of high speeds,
here's rob lonman and his GT2 during a gumball run flying by the camera @ 180mph
