Sport Auto: Dottinger Hohe VMAX

Before I go on, I must say I've had the list completed for a while, but posting it was inspired by Just_me's VMAX thread

I thought this would be a very interesting idea as it shows how fast vehicles are accelerating after they've left the 200 km/h. These numbers show how fast the car accelerates on the straight line of the Nürburgring. For instance, you'll see how the Lamborghini Gallardo has a faster VMAX than that of a Pagani Zonda F, which sounds oddly strange, but it really isn't as it's all about gearing and engine setup. Of course, air tempatures and aerodynamics can play a part here.

That's just a little explantion, it's highly interesting to see what fairs:
