cars, machine power

The man at work who is going to make the access-application work... (the initial version doesn't work according to planning & control) has a car which goes fast. Real fast. Last week he had a professional in his car to learn him to make emergency stops. First it wasn't difficult. Stopping at 80 k/hr on a narrow road. The car has an anti-blocking system (abs)so that's not too difficult. After that they went to Germany were they got no speedlimits. His car tipped the 260 k/hr!!! Okay, said the pro, and now an emergency stop.
It seems that one has to pass a treshold and after that it's not difficult.
But 260, what a machine-power!
