Grass Donating Members 447 Member For: 21y 2m 21d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 15/09/04 08:25 AM Share Posted 15/09/04 08:25 AM Last time I was in Germany, I had a Barina (Called Corsa over there) blew past me at well over the 200km/H mark. I unfortunately was only in a Fiat that time.On a AutoBahn, it is amazing just how quickly a car "backs off" when you lift off the gas and just how well the whole thing works over there.Had a Boxter last time, punched it all the way to about 300Km/h.There would be no drama with the brakes on a "T" at those speeds on an AutoBahn.Go for it Speedy, you'll probably find that someone over there may be able to do it for you.. I beleive there is a "large industry" of Car Hackers over there..

Watch out for the off ramps as these can have very tight corners. Autobahns can have fairly tight turns and are often crowded. As always I recommend learning a road well before pushing your car to the limits and then being cught out by a sharper turn than expected.They also keep changing the speed limits for short periods and have stupid things like tank crossings. So watch out !!!Have a go round the Nurburg Ring, that would be a blast.

colbourne Member 52 Member For: 21y 4m 12d Posted 16/09/04 07:30 PM Share Posted 16/09/04 07:30 PM The comment about cars pulling up quickly at high speed might apply to small light cars like the Fiat or Corsa as the air drag is so high relative to their weight. I was quite surprised how long it takes to slow down in a Falcon probably due to the extra tonne we are carrying.
