biggles Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) It looks like he hit 259kph before he had to slow down. That speed in the day time is dangerous enough but at night with a limited headlight range..... Suicide. Edited May 26, 2021 by biggles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once hit 197 kph (on the GPS) with my car in Germany and found it to be the upper limit of my driving ability (the car could still go faster) in broad daylight on a nearly empty freeway. I didn't keep it up for long. Anything above 200 without serious, advanced training is suicide, just please don't take anyone else with you.

I reached 155mph(on my speedo) on the autobahn in my last MB,which was a 3L oil burner.From what I've seen most roads are only unlimited between 10pm - 6am but I found a stretch where I could do it.....not something that I'm likely to repeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite being a total car nut, I lose my bottle at anything over 110 mph. I got a lift to work on monday in a mates 2018 E class coupe 220d, 100 mph and it was like being on a magic carpet, the only difference in road manners between 100mph and 30 was literally the speedo needle. No doubt bout it, Merc really make some awesome cars, and I'm seriously tempted that when the 2018 onwards (facelift) E class coupe hit their depreciation curve, I might well get one.

I would always take a newly acquired performance car up the M3 at 3/4am when it was deserted to get it up to its max speed, bloody loved it..... Think BMW M3 being driven at 155mph (limited) up the M3 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggles Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 So would I.... In a BMW M3, but as a very long time bike rider, 180+ mph on a motorbike at night is a very different 'adventure' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Nothing like a rabid dog or a frightened deer to f**k your day up. I'll opt for a grungy room atop a Soi 6 bar for my risk taking, thank you. Although I think those opportunities are fading quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
