A couple runs on the Autobahn

[89 AZ SSP]

Nothing special

I did a couple runs on the autobahn. The first one was coming up through the gears but there was too much traffic. The second one was all in 6th gear but I still didn't hit 159 like I did in the past.
Car is all stock even down to the paper air filter.

I wish I was able to do that, and on the other hand I would be too afraid of hitting something and spinning out of control and dying lol.

Looks like fun. I've had mine up to about a buck twenty-five, but there's just no room here for that kinda shenanigans. Last time I rode that fast was with a state trooper, runnin' down a Chevelle SS396.

Did you have the brights on 'cause it's necessary for those speeds, or was that accidental? I noticed you turned them on at 130 or so.

I turned them on when I was coming into traffic so they were sure to see me coming. I will get some better video when I return from my deployment next year.

that would be fun. I wonder what the vehicles actual moving speed was at the top end.

would like to see the camera angled to show what's going on outside

 

[not yellow]

wow, the camera is super steady. what is it mounted on? you car is also clearly running very smoothly a those speeds!

i have mine up to about 135, and it felt stable...i wish I was able to run it on the autobahn.

its also because the autobahn is buttery smooth

Your high beams are on.

When I get back from my deployment I will get a in the cabin video. I know this wasn't good but I had a request to do it this way.

I used double sided tape and mounted it to the steering column just behind the wheel.

Hardly

Your high beams are on.

yeah, its a good idea when traveling at high speeds so people see you coming.

haha..the autobahn..niiice
the most i went on my ms3 is 130....but on my 06 Gsxr600...i topped it off at 172!!!
It was a blast/scary and everything was soo small....and afterwards i decided that i would never do something like that again...!! haha

shame that you were probably only doing like 155mph on your bike. i had an 05 and took it to the 170's also, but there's like a 10% decrease in actual speed compared to what the speedo says.

but i agree, after going that fast on a bike i felt that there was no need to go that fast in anything else. for one thing i don't have the roads to do that here in delaware (had the bike in NC), and im cop magnet enough with my window tints

 

[justanothermp5]

they still have sections on the autobahn with no speedlimit? didnt know that

i thought they changed it to 120km/h max but i guess thats just where i was driving at lol

Dang u serious??? that sucks...im bummed out now, i always thought my top speed was 172mph haha oh well i guess

and yea man...bikes get up there quick and with no hassle!! cars take a bit more to get to 120 or so...
