So what'd you end up topping out at in the vid. I know you could have given it more, but the damn glare made it hard to see where you ended up. Looks like you tipped 140...

the reason the Germans can have tht road is because they dont drive like jackasses and respect other drivers.

and its limited in allot of places. but still, no speed limit FTW

extremely well, no body roll, and very stable and smooth, my new 235 wide tires help a bit too.

troof, and they purpose built the roads to accomodate excessive speeds, and there are very specific laws about what you can and cannot do on the autobahn ie no passing on the right at all irregardless of which lane your in.

Nice video...brought back some pleasant memories. The hardest part of driving on the Autobahn is resisting the urge to lift off the throttle when overtaking a Polezei car.

one thing i noticed not neccesaryily starting anything with you is that you were in the left lane a lot. Its only for passing but its always different when you are actually driving sometimes you dont think.

Actually the left lane on the autobahn is to drive in.

Major law to NOT pass on the right.
