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

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

I dunno, I used to do 165MPH in my 79 Buick regal(box type car), I have hit
many times 180MPH on my RX7 on the highways of Canada..

why is it such a big deal about what speed the guys are doing on the
autobahn...???

Have you ever sat in a car on the right lane of the autobahn doing 120MPH
and watches how fast people fly by you on the left lane. I have, The people
drive fsken fast.

=>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.....
