Default Carrera GT vid anyone?

This is pretty insane. Its in Germany. A guy in a mustang cobra is on the autobahn with a vid camera and his top down. he catches up with not one but TWO carrera gt's together. He tries to keep up amazingly still filming going over 100mph...the best part for me is when they completely dissapear at 135+!

WOW!!! That is rare...a black guy in Germany! JK. But TWO GTs going together at the same time having them run. I heard them on the Top Gear vid, and they sound sooo sexy.

They don't use miles per hour in Europe. They use KM/HR. The black dude in the Cobra never mentioned "mph" only the captioned text did. When he said he was runnin "100" , the cobra was barely passing by the 3 axle truck. There is no way that 3 axle truck was going 90-95 mph when it was passed by the cobra. If you look at his speedometer, the needle was hovering around 105 with the flow of traffic. The captioned text was probably added when the video was had in the US.

100 km/hr is 62 mph.
130 = 80 mph
160 = 99 mph

Nonetheless, those Carreras were awesome.

I'm guessing this guy is with the US armed forces. His English was way too good for him to be originally European.

It pisses me off that we keep so many service-people overseas in places like Germany though. Let Germany fend for itself and let these folks come home!

That's a pretty neat video - btw.

The speed was in MPH. If you look at the speedo closely it maxes out at 160. No modern day car would have a speedo that only goes up to 160km/h. lol
