That is moving, nearly 130y per second, think about that, if you need to react to something on the road 1/4mile ahead you have less than 4 seconds.

[JEBar]

that's right at 260 mph

Fastest I drove the Bahn was 120 mph in a Mercedes rental back in 1995. I was often passed like I was standing still.. STAY OUT OF THE LEFT LANE ...

I did that in my '72 Chevy Vega one time....

[fortyshooter]

Notice how smooth and stable the car is at that speed!

Did somebody say 72 Vega?

I had one back in the mid 70’s but I never ran it on the Autobahn. If only…

Mine was barf green.

Mine was barf green.

I remember that color and your title for it is spot on.

I was driving my '69 Coronet about 130mph when a school bus pulled out onto the highway. What flashed through my mind was killing kids and going to prison for life or dying leaving my family destitute and in shame. Took me what seemed a mile to get those drum brakes to stop that beast. I stopped at the last second on the side of the road on the shoulder. Last time I was ever that careless. That Bugatti could probably stop in 100ft going 130. Still crazy to drive that fast on a public road.

Well my Vega was a sight to behold when I wound her out to 60 mph….shake, rattle and roll!
