Insane speed in german cars... slightly OT, had to share...



In looking at the top speeds of some very aerodynamic automobiles, such as
the Viper, the Corvette, Porsche 911, and Ferrari 550, I see lots of hp and
none of them can crack 195.
  In view of that, I'd say Shawn's assessment is probably not far off.....
