Cool vid!!

That guy is nuts though. How the heck is he drivin stick, racin, and filming at the same time?? Also i dont see how he could say he hung with those Porsches. To me it looked like everytime they went WOT the Cobra got smoked, both times. I could hang till 150 b4 they pull away...Ok buddy, i missed that part then.

I wonder what the accident/death rate is on the Autobahn?

I agree with you on the "Hanging with them"....not happening.

As far as the accident rate...I spent two years stationed in Hanau, Germany (right in the center near Frankfurt) and I saw 0 ZERO accidents on the autoban. Infact, I only saw 2 accidents the entire time I was over there. Both were in the city roads. Yes...and traffic over there....does run at 70-80+ mph.

A experience that words along can't describe. I remeber going about 145-150 in a lil POS rental. Fiat Bravo they call them. About the size of a honda hatchback. Anyway, I was heading north on Autoban 6 when I was passed by a Lambo and Porsche. Sadly they were going by so fast, I can't tell you which models...only know what type they were from the tailights.

I was stationed in Kitzingen Germany for 3 years. The autobahn is on of the safest highway systems in the world. Ya you can go fast but the people over there understand if you are not going fast stay out of the left lane. There is a totally different driving attitude over there I think America should adopt some of there traffic speed laws.

At 19 years old I was able to rent a lexus gs 300, volvo s-80, audi a6. And I beat the brakes off of all of them.
