Give me figures After the long straight (which you will probably know the name of) it seemed like 3-4 seconds?

Did well to spot that Porsche at about 150mph too

Not too shy of twice the BHP/tonne of a veyron then although you can't really compare the 2. How old is the video?

The electronic signature of some of the cars seems to have been every bit as loud as their sound to judge from the way the videocamera of the day throws a wobbly when they pass.At 0:52 a car passes,14 seconds later you can still hear it when(@ 230mph)the car is 0.9 of a mile away.But as the sound takes 4 seconds to reach the camera from that distance, the car was only 0.64 of amile away when it went out of ear shot.(very roughly)

100km : 51 Liter

Does that mean it used 51 litres of fuel for 62miles?

51 litres = 11 gallons which means 62miles with 11 gallons = 5.5 mpg

Amazing car
