To that point my only regret on my 550 was not doing Euro Delivery on it. I just couldn't get away from work to make the trip to Munich, and the worst part about it was my car was complete right around opening weekend of Oktoberfest.

My speed record was 1:14 minutes from Nuremberg to Munich, and that was in a Mercedes C-Class. I'd love to see what my 550 could have done on the A9.

As far as having the 550 in the states, yes are speeds are very limited, but there still are stretches of road you can have a lot of fun with.
