Would like to see what this baby could do on the Autobahn 1mile away from my home... nice cold German air and miles of the fastest public road on earth the Autobahn A5 were they did the fastest ever run on a public road with 268mph (432.7km/h) over a flying km in two directions...
just how you do it like the guys from M5 board . com ...take your tuned car with GPS equipment on the Autobahn next to my home and let it run...
206mph on public road in traffic... reached after 1minute on the A5.... no proving ground needed no helmet or race suit or roll cage... do not make easy things complicate 
Oh and btw... here in Germany topspeed is everything that matter... no one cares here about 1/4mile times... I let you win 0.5s at a red traffic light if I can own you several minutes because my car runs 20km/h faster than your car during distance driving from point a to b ... highspeed driving is long time adrenalin rush ... not a 12s rush |
Yeah, that's great. But here in America, where the Camaro is built and manufactured, we DO care about quarter miles times. We drag race here. Its part of our car culture. Dont try and make yourself sound superior because you like to drive at insane speeds with no safety equipment. Roll cages and helmets dont make easy things complicated, they make complicated things safer. And the proving ground is a place to do it in a closed environment away from other traffic (which was also a stupid thing to do on the Audobahn) and on a road surface that is made and maintained for those speeds.
