Insane speed in german cars... slightly OT, had to share...

I can see a car going that fast. But I would expect that the pictures would be a little more out of focus or more signs of vibration... things happen too quick when your going that fast to sit there and take a nice in focus picture. Plus, they would never make it from Frankfurt to Munich without hitting a stall (german version of traffic jam).
Tomorrow I will be posting a picture of my 8 valve doing 140. :o)

I would believe most of them but I am an optimist when it comes to power/quality of German cars. I also believe that an MK4 could do 195mph (which is what a hair over 320kph is) since I could do 140mph in my Rabbit with 150 or so hp. besides, these guys are probably geared for the Autobahn and can get a good running start. Then probably started in Frankfurt and didn't let off and snapped the pic in Munich!

I bet most of those are faked. Unless that site doesnt post anything if they don't have the actual video. Lots of those pics you can't even see out a window and some of the ones that you can see out the window doesn't look like its really going that fast. I'm guessing a lot of these are people putting their cars on jack stands are reving the engine up in gear and taking a photo. And it would be very easy to put the scenery in the window. Also, I've never seen anybody get such focused pictures in a car thats really going that fast.
