I thought that guy was "TurboDave". It was also on a slight downhill run. That video was from about 2.5 years ago, too. I recall it was close to 280 KM/hr.

Suffice to say, unless you take your car to the Bonneville salt flats and run both ways, you're never gonna reliably get to your top speed anyway, FI or not.

It is an interesting statistic though, how long a road does it take to reach top speed, FI and not?
