Well he spoke in the second person because he wasn’t referring to himself in the post at all. Also read his sig quote.

Also, second person isn't third person, so what's you're argument again?

You're a whiny bitch?

You don’t deserve to have baw in your handle.

Not even remotely comparable

You're saying traveling at high rates of speed on empty highways isn't comparable?

Which parts of the Autobahn have you driven on?

Only a douche bag officer would even pretend to try and catch a vehicle going 193.

If i were running speed enforcement and a car went by my going 193, I’m just gonna let it go.

I don't know why I feel the need to comment, but here goes.....

I think this is an insane accomplishment, and it took a great deal of planning, but also luck to pull it off. I also think it is one of the most irresponsible and absurdly immature and selfish things someone could do.

The internet, look at me You Tube generation is disgusting. You wanna go fast? Raise the money, build a team, and go to Daytona, LeMans, Baja- do it in a vehicle that you will stay alive in when it flips at 193....and not kill your two partners and co-drivers. Don't do it on a shared road with Joe Public and his laboring wife on the way to the hospital at 2 am. Or when Jim Trucker has a blowout on I-80.

For Centinal to understand, there is a reason why the EU limits you to 155. BTW- that's not the "rev limiter" It's the electronic speed limiter that has been broadly adopted by European manufacturers to keep people like you alive. There is a rather famous frustration that Dieter Zetsche had about it- perhaps you will Google.

Don't say I don't know what I'm talking about- I have raced on Bonneville in the salt, Rallies in Mauritius, tracks and off-road in some capacity on and off for a long time. I also once tried to run a 700 hp GTO from Washougal, WA to Houston in a lick, by myself in a couple days. There are police, and traffic everywhere- even to try and maintain just over 100 is dangerous and dumb.

You must be a poor then- driving a US spec car in the EU.

Please note my "broadly adopted" and not exclusive language in the post.

You sound like an insufferable American tourist who drove on the Autobahn once, got your pants shat in when somebody passed you in a Superleggera and now think your are a driving expert because you didn't die.

Rev limiter- Jesus.

I was stationed in Germany and had my car shipped over?

I lived in Germany four years. You lived there how long?

Ya, it's fricking annoying. I blame clutching pearl grannies like you for them existing in this country.

What part of the Autobahn have you driven that has tons of red lights, 4 way stops, school zones, low speed zones, tractor trailers that clog of the route and left lane bandits that refuse to yield for faster traffic?

---

Because that's where they were traveling when they were going 100mph or more?

Again, do you understand the term "average"? You think these guys spent most of their time driving through downtown cities at 5pm?

You think 'poors' ship their cars over when they vacation in Europe?
