Would enjoy hearing some of your high speed adventures as well - I know those of you residing in Deutchland probably have the most, but it's less common in "Kanada" (Leider fur mich)
Nice stretch of road you got there! Would be nice to test it out. Also love the Ford GT sound.
I did 240 km/h in a rental Boxster few years ago. During that drive some woman decided to cut me off and overtake another car right in front of me. Thank gawd these things got so good brakes! https://youtu.be/_TmAWnYQW3I?t=5m27s
I'm living in Deutschland,but still don't have a proper car for high speeds - so my PB is 222km/h with my 25 years old N/A MR2. On a public road (autobahn) and that fully legal.
PS. I also had once the need to go full on brakes from over 200 to about 120 because of someone who decided to pull into left lane to overtake someone about 5km/h slower then he was...
265km/h on my GT-Four ST205.... yes, Autobahn, although I've hit 250 in the Italian autostrada too. I've driven few Lambos at 130km/h... but on twisty roads with 50km/h speed limit, I think that's more exciting.
There is plenty of road like that here... a shameful overabundance given our silly highway speed laws. It's way too easy to get a license here IMO. Our roads are wider, straighter, and better lit than the remaining sections of the Autobahn yet mostly it's restricted to 100km/h, maybe 110 in some places. It's pretty silly.
The Ford GT sounds great; it sounds better from inside since you can hear the super charger and it's pretty loud - the Porsche is so damn quiet that video doesn't do it justice, and the Ford kind of overtakes the audio in my footage.
Nice video. I agree on the brakes.
Yeah, seems to be a common thing even over there. We get around the "legal" requirement with some devices that allow a few seconds to react first
160 sliding still sounds pretty hair raising.
Indeed it is. When I first got into this car, the driver made a right hand turn and opened it up (sadly not on video) in the middle of our downtown core, and was over 200 before we got over top of the over pass and down the other side.... My feet were off the floor and my eyes wide open thinking "wow - these guys are not afraid to use these cars!!!" At that moment, I knew I was in for a great evening
Similar, hit limiter in my first Impreza so around 250km/h but much more fun to be had around tight twisty roads, obviously all done on either on private land or the autobahn....
Me driving:
Audi TTS in an Audi Event (they let "journalists" drive for free): 174km/h https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfUWpraE1So&t=1m59s
Mercedes C63 from a friend: ~170km/h
2015 Ford Ka 1.5 16v (rental) ~175km/h
I'd like to lift the limiter on the Merc to see how fast it can go. I'll probably never take the P38 over 90 ever again, she doesn't really like it and she takes a while to crack a ton.
