Smooth as silk.
Felt like 90, not double that. Only real clue to the speed was the dashed line on the highway looked like a single line and the engine roar was louder than usual.
Had to shut down just after the digital readout said 180 due to traffic (far) ahead. The brakes are phenomenal. Amazing how quickly they peeled off 100 mph w/o any fuss...
Please save the "Oh, that's dangerous" speech. Yes, I know it is and I was also very careful where and when I chose to do this. I did it, it's done and it was fun to try once. (but I do admit I want to see if the machine will really run 187 as advertised. - needed another three or four miles of clear highway to find out.)
Up to this point the fastest I'd ever been on the ground was 160 in the RS6 that sits beside my R8 in the garage.
